What's up, Forum?
I just bought a 98 automatic civic with 153K miles on it. Seems to me that sometimes it takes too long to go into 3rd gear from second. When it does drop, it does so at about 3000 RPMs. Is that too high? At other times it drops into 3rd at 2500-2700 RPMS. Any suggestions or ideas on what this might be or is it even an issue with the transmission?
What is a good/average cruising RPM level at 65mph? At what RPMs should my civic change gears between 1st and 4th gears?
Thanks for all of your input.
