hey guys. wondering if someone could give me some help on this. i have a 97 automatic civic lx. when the transmission shifts from 2nd to third gear, it revs up 2-4k rpms depending on how fast im going. its not really an immediate problem, but i was wondering if there was a solution to this because ive heard of similar problems. thanks

 

could be your clutch is slipping. :-P

this is a problem that is going to get worse and worse the longer you let it go. it needs to be addressed by a transmission shop. i worked on an accord that had the same problem and eventualy it took a ****.its an internal problem. thats my 2 cents

 

we need more info on the car: engine type, year, mods, mileage, etc...

 

my AT turbo civic does the same thing.. between 500 and 2k rpms depending on throttle position....

 

Is it when you are gunning the hell out of it?

 

sounds like torque converter. A good time to do a auto to manual conversion!

 

mine does the same thing. i figured it was just my tranny with 190K going out.

sorry to jack your thread but ...when my automatic civic is in 4th gear, around 2800rpm and i push the gas to pass..but not gunning it...just giving it enough to get up a lil ....it will go to (we'll say) 3400 when i press the gas, BUT will the back off for about a split second (sounding like i let off the gas and pressed back on) and resume back at the last rpm, why wouldit do this? i thought it was a dirty fuel filter, i changed that ....fuel treatment..blah blah. could this be the tranny too?

 

My american POS is doing the same thing, like the tranny is slipping out of gear for a split second before it changes to the next... Thank god I'm gonna be selling that piece of crap soon!

 

ya, but is it the tranny that makes it do it or the fuel ? what would i do to fix it without dropping a new tranny in (if thats the problem) its just a daily driverc

 

HmMM A Similar thing happend to my Mini-Van (Nissan Axxess) my mechanic dude cleaned out the transmission (like where the fluid goes and **** with some thing he had) he replaced the transmission fluid did the same thing where the oil was it and god... the Oil had just been changed 2 months earlier and when it came out it was so damn dirty... and same thing with the transmission fluid. So you might want to try that before you do anything very expensive?

 

its a 97 lx with a d16y7 with a cold air and muffler (other stuff but wouldnt affect that) with about 115k miles on it. and, to answer another question, no it does it even when im going 30-40

 

i would love to do a auto to manual swap had i the money to have it done
