i test drove a car i might buy or trade my civic for

its a 1994 ls with 110,000 miles on it

stock motor

i drove it and as it would reach the end of a gear it would seemingly stay in that gear for "THAT" much longer. Like if you're going 50 into 3rd gear. where normally the shift from second to third takes 1/10th of a second..it seemingly taks 2/10th of a second. (just using numbers..not meant to be accurate) And then shift. The guy said the torque converter would grab 3rd and 4th at the same time...idk what he meant by this or what he's talking about. it kinda seemed/sounded/felt like what it feels like shifting on a stick. you go, release gas/push in clutch/give gas. i'm sorry if this sounds confusing. its kind of difficult to explain.

i guess i'm just wondering if this is a big problem..providing you understand my explanation.

 

up

 

when my car was an auto, it did that a lot also, even others had that problem, i think its just an auto integra thing

 

i had the same question and the dealer responded "torque sensitive" overdrive....? i was like sure wtf

 

okay..so my explanation was legible. good. did it seem to affect anything? like how long did it occur for while you have had/had your car

 

mine was like always like that since i had it

 

up for re-assurance

 

its an auto tranny prob mine had it too when it was auto but then I did the conversion and its all good now

 

Yeah mine did that a little bit when I first got it, years ago...... now at 130,000+ miles it is getting pretty bad... but I am almost sure that has something to do with the supercharger and added torque and horse power...

I think that the automatic transmission in the integra's are just not meant to be a sporty transmission. Although the fact that it still works at all with 25,000+ miles with the supercharger just shows that mine is a lot stronger than I thought.

but to try and answer the original question. I think it's a common trait with the auto teg's with that much mileage on them. Should last a while longer if mine did.
