I have a 88 civic automatic, I noticed the auto transmission got really cluncky in reverse and shifting down from 3rd to 2nd, i can't tell if its a balljoint, or if its in the tramsmission. It vibrates pretty bad in reverse, but drives normal in drive in all 4 gears accept when shifting down to 2nd when passing Porsches and Vipers, (that last part was a joke)

Any info or ideas would be helpful.

 

it could be the shift fork..but im not sure...you shouldnt be down shifting in an 88 automatic civic anyways

 

why not the downshifting, (civic) no accord

look how old that thing is..you shouldnt be runnin the motor so hard..IMO swap the engine out for a b16..

 

motor is GREAT tranny is just gettin cluncky

 

There is a reason its called a AUTOmatic, its not a Stick shift, or even a Shiftmatic, Dont be stupid, your only costing yourself more money.

Shifting a AUTOmatic =

 

Thanks for the tip ******
