got a friend of a friend who is looking into buying a 97 honda HX automatic

can anyone tell me info on these trannys?

he said the dealer said is has some kind of skip shift for gas mileage and i have never heard of this so i thought i'd ask the honda tech gurus

tia

 

the dealer is talking out his ***.

 

Vague.

So we've learned two things here:

1.) the dealer doesn't know what they're doing - surprise - and...
2.) you're angry at not knowing how to spell and/or use the English language.

Outstanding .

Yeah, correcting jackasses like you who've gotten your answer and keep talking. If you knew how to spell and use proper grammar you would get better responses.

LOL, my thoughts exactly.

It would actually be "grammar" if we are correcting people. . .

 

Thanks. No harm done.

 

I believe he is referring to the CVT which is available in the HX.

He has so many posts because he's been here a long time and contributed a lot to the forum.

He can convey himself by correctly using the English language, which is all we have to show ourselves here.

Also, I'd venture to say 50% of the collective car knowledge in this forum is held by a small handful of people. If you new guys keep up the crappy additude, it makes the OGs not want to help. Notice how I'm not around to hold hands and give everyone answeres to every post anymore.

11 posts down and we finally got an answer!

 

"Lead by example" good thing or bad thing. In this case, its a bad thing.

A lot of the OG's can have a bad attitude and knock anything they can get at from the new guys. New guys see this and act in the same matter. So please dont be talking just to the new guys about crappy attitude.

Revolver and Arc are a good example, OG and can be a *****, revolver semi-new, is jsut a *****. He's just a 19yr old punk kid who doesnt contribute anything but negativity. every post i've seen from him today is negative, and upon searching i;ve found that the majority of his posts are comepletely negative. I mean look at his user rating... But anyway, talk to everyone about the crappy attitude, not jsut the newbs.

If anyone thats been here longer than a month hasnt noticed, this entire board is pretty negative. its sad, because this is a great place to learn and get information.

I'm not even sure why he got so upset. It's not like a jacked his thread by posting the correct spelling of the word he butchered in the title. Learning to spell will take you a lot farther in life than learning whether or not a CVT has skip shift or not.

Or maybe I'm just being a gross optimist. I've been in a really good, nurturing mood lately, especially as it pertains to my responses on this website. However, dealing with little popdicks every time I post is getting on my nerves. We'll see how this pans out in the next week or two.

I'm glad that I have a fan. Actually, my age has nothing to do with it and I'm far from a punk. If the age on my profile said 45 what would you complain about? I contribute far more than you would realize because all you can pay attention to is who flames you for an idiotic question. I'm not here to please you, but I will get angry with jackass newbs who don't read the rules and abide by them. Thanks for wasting your time though.

BTW, you don't have any idea why my user rating is what it is. Guess what? It doesn't have anything to do with me being mean to fools like you. Try again.

I would agree that the mechanic is probably referring to the CVT transmision.

 

 

i am glad for you "ogs" and what u guys provide to the ht community, even though u come off as jackasses sometimes =P
