This has been happening for a while, and eventually i just started ignoring it but it's started to get on my nerves.

when i take a turn, going at a moderate speed, i'll completely lose drive until I begin to straighten out the steering wheel. it's wierd, i can feel the car engaging when the steering wheel reaches a certain point.

it's not that bad, but if i take a turn fast and try to give the car gas while i'm turning i'll just rev the engine and not go anywhere, this behavior is a bit more serious cuz without any throttle input i run the risk of wiping out on a hard turn.

i've changed both my cv shafts, so i'm wondering if you guys have any idea what else it can be. the car is auto btw.

 

Check the fluid level and condition. Is it low? Is it burnt? It sounds like you are a couple of liters low on fluid.

 

it's been a while since i changed it, but right when it started happening i put in new fluid and it didnt help. i guess it wouldnt hurt to change it again though.

 

Check the fluid level with the engine off. Use Honda ATF or the equivalent. There's a friction modifier in Honda's fluid...

 

are your tires losing traction when you do this?

 

Did the problem start before or after replacing the axles?

Before, and replacing them yielded no difference.

 

Does it do it around right and left turns?

 

sounds like there is something wrong with the differental

that's kinda what i'm thinking.

 

how is your oil level?

 

the oil has been changed about 3 times since this started happening. i checked the oil level last week and it looks good.

 

Check your shifter cable. Maybe when you turn, some combination of flexy engine mounts with a slightly off cable adjustment, might be shifting into neutral?? At least this should be easy to check...
