Default My automatic transmission

Hi, so this is my question. When I am going up a steep hill in my 99 Civic LX Automatic Tranny, it seems like it doesn't want to change gears. It always seems to want to stay in 3rd... So when I go up the hill i can barely hit 25 mph. The pedal is to the floor also. Is this right or should i be able to take hills faster than that? Also is there a Rev Limiter on my car? If so would that affect anything?

Thanks,
Deerman2701

when that happens, let off the gas and step on it again and it should shift down. if so ur tranny might be getting old.

Check/adjust the tightness of the cable going to the tranny from the throttle body.

If I recall correctly the 96-00 Civic don't have that "kickdown" cable.
