automatic transmission

[OTEP]

Good morning Tsikoteers!

Ano ba ang mga disadvantages kung laging naka-"on" yong "overdrive" sa transmission? Feedbacks will be highly appreciated, thanks.

It's supposed to be ON under ALL normal driving circumstances. You only turn it off during specific situations called for in the owner's manual.

Turning OD off switches off the topmost gear of your tranny (as well as all gears with a gear ratio of less than 1.000). So if you have a 4 speed A/T, you have just turned it into a 3 speed. If you exceed the allowed speed range, you can overheat and destroy the tranny.

That is the reason why a warning lamp illuminates when you turn it off. Because it's supposed to be on.

Mga tsong worth it ba mag pa transtech sa autotechnika?

I have 110T+ reading pero di ko alam kung pina-flush na ng previous owner yung ATF. 97 civic po auto.

Pag check ko sa dipstick sabi ng mekaniko ok pa naman daw at di kailangan palitan and so far no complaints ako sa takbo ng auto. Plannning to do have it done tomorrow.

kung cherry red pa ang ATF mo, at hinde amoy sunog, ok pa yan. anything out of that, palit na yan. usually ginagawa ang transtech sa mga A/T na hinde naalagaan. mejo expensive sha, so kung hinde mo kelangan wag mo na ipa-transtech.

hondas don't have atf filters.

drain refill is good na if you can do it regularly maybe at 20k km intervals.

[speedyfix]

How about yung transmission support?
Experience ko ito sa automatic ko before, although hindi sya Honda (Mitsubishi Galant). Yung shift shock dramatically improve ng magpalit ako ng brand new na tranmission support. Almost hindi ko na maramdaman ang shift ng 1st to 2nd.

that's my next plan.

after a successful..ATF drain. support naman. hehehe

tanong ko lang, bakit ganun parang hindi naman ata nauubos ung atf ko? pag chinechek ko same level as always? is it supposed to be like that na parang hindi nababawasan tapos idrain then palitan na lang???
