    97 Civic auto trans issue.

    We swapped out the transmission and she has put about 500 miles on it. So far, so good on that. We were tightening up the power steering belt this morning, it squeals occasionally, and I had her check the tire pressure. One of the tires was low so she followed me down the gas station to air it...

    97 Civic auto trans issue.

    I appreciate your response. I would rather just swap in a known good transmission and make sure that it is correctly maintained from here on. This car is my daughters and I don't want to risk the transmission abruptly going out again. There was a lot of metal/debris on the drain plug. I can...

    97 Civic auto trans issue.

    Unfortunately it didn't work. I now hear a slight buzz from the transmission once it warms up. It is also now slipping on occasion when accelerating from a stop. It does drive a little farther now though! I do think that if I had performed the drain and fill prior to the trans acting up, it...

    Just stopped at AutoZone. Bought the gallon jug and 2 quarts. They had the gallon for 21.99 and the quarts for 7.39. Advance Auto had the quarts for 5.50, on sale. AutoZone gave me them for 5.30 a quart and then gave me 10% off of the gallon! 6 quarts of Castrol Import ATF for 30.39!! I have...

    97 Civic auto trans issue.

    Around 5.60 a quart at Wal-Mart. Probably been 15 years or more since I bought any though. I plan on checking online this evening.

    97 Civic auto trans issue.

    I bought 3 quarts of Castrol Import ATF, that's all they had. Can't believe how expensive transmission fluid is now! I will fill it tonight and then do it at least 2 more times next weekend. We aren't driving the car right now so it shouldn't hurt to not flush it all 3 times tonight. I will...

    97 Civic auto trans issue.

    Went home on lunch today and pulled the car in the driveway. Grabbed my socket wrench and my drain pan and drained the transmission fluid. Pretty sure it isn't supposed to be brown! So, how much metal is ok to have on the drain plug?! Lol. Sure hope this transmission isn't shot. If so, I...

    97 Civic auto trans issue.

    My daughter bought a 97 Civic LX sedan from a buddy of mine that owned the car for 3 years. Drove it for a few weeks and then the trans started acting up. We were in stop and go traffic. My daughter went to accelerate and if felt like we were driving over the rumble strip on the side of the road...
