Yeah more automatic tranny questions

[deevergote]

At full throttle, it should shift near redline, I believe. Regardless of the sport button.

Yeah, the sports button is a uesless feature imo. My car shakes when in reverse but is smooth in other gears so I need mounts. Anyway, not trying to threadjack but sometimes the sports feature will be on and the button isn't even pushed in. The car then starts dragging and it starts making clicking sounds in the gear selection area as if it's turning the feature on and off. It only done this a couple times and has been good ever since. Never had transmission problems so I'm thinking to myself, since the sports feature is pointless(good job honda, you tried), is there a way to disable the feature altogether? Once again, didn't mean to jack the thread but it's a automatic transmission question.

really it isn't totally useless. I was a way to make the car feel sportier and quicker which would help sales. As for making power and the car faster, yeah pointless. Mine shifts a little rough but it doesn't slip. Usually when a trans shifts rough it also slips.

Now not to thread jack but when i am driving hard or racing I manually shift mine because with h23 IM she pulls hard all the way to the rev limiter. Leaving it in D3 or D4 it will shift at 6k instead of 6500. I have proven to be faster with manual shifting. Now my question is when i get around 90 in D3 my car feels like it is dogging down and then it will pick back up. If i shift at this point into D4, my R's drop so bad that it takes me almost an 1/8 mile to get to 100. But when i keep it in D3 it almost seems like it is grabbing another gear and then goes again. I was thinking that this may be slipping but it only does it in 3rd gear. Can anybody tell me if this is normal?

Ok the weird thing is...

some times it will shift at 3to 4k but if im medium on the pedal it will shift normal....

Bumps a little when shifting but doesnt DROP gears.. Also does not slip at all.

is there anyway to change the Tranny Filter???? I know its a pain in the ass from the few posts ive read.

also i was going to go get new gaskets for the shift and lock selinoid on the front of the tranny to replace the filters in them... Just to try.... From honda of corse while im there buying tranny fluid.....



What would be the best way to get the tranny fully flushed???? A oil change place by me has a machine that they hook up to your tranny and run stuff thru it and change all of the fluid. Does honda have this machine to??


O and also i will check the Trans Computer tommorow to get the numbers off it to google them to see what car it belongs to hopefully its for the wagon.

That's your torque converter locking up, thus the RPM drop.

[jdmsilvercb7]

hes right...and btw it happens in cd5's too, I have a 97 lx auto and it does it even when i dont shift manually. To solve the problem...drop in a 5 speed and be done with it

[2.2AZUL]

it has a sport button???? if so where??

well if your asking this question maybe you don't have it

it located on the shift knob can't miss it.......

[Accrdwgnguy]

sports mode is really useless

I've been driving a 91 lx sedan for the past 2 weeks while my 92 wagon is out of commission, and I've noticed sport mode makes the tranny shift alot quicker, which helps with merging into traffic sometimes, also holds it in gear longer, but yeah would be better if it just did it all the time. Can't wait to have my 5 speed back tho!I miss it alot!

[irish_redhead]

When the car is shaking in reverse that is the mounts because a friend of mine had the exact same problem and the mounts were bad and he had to get them replaced

[Thatguystuff]

I will check the mounts.... Christmas has got me broke....

The way this car is going its probably going to be up for sale or trade really soon...

Just to get rid of it.



But if i keep it when i get my taxes back. probably going to get a newly rebuilt motor and Rebuilt auto trans.

Just for my piece of mind.
