Hi guys, my car has an issue with the transmission. The clutch is soft and when pressed, I won’t be able to engage gear. It happened about 4 weeks ago, the mechanic said it was because my clutch fluid was leaking and he changed the kits and then poured fresh oil. Yesterday it happened again...could it be something else or that initial fault wasn’t fixed properly ?



Now I understand why there was progression from manual tranny to automatic. I love manual though but this clutch stress is pissing me off

Gurus kindly help out

I use a Honda Civic 03 automatic transmission

I noticed when the gear is engaged in drive it drags except when put on Reverse gear.


I ran a scan and this is the error

CVT speed change control valve malfunction.


What is the way out pls?
I was told that I should prepare to buy a new gear?

Await your response
Thanks

/quote/ You should have included the fault or error code. Anyway there is a solenoid at the back right corner of the engine. When the filter gets dirt or bad, the gear begins to malfunction.

If the answer you are after is if its good on fuel then what you should be looking at is if its 4 or 6 plugs, cos there is a massive difference, fuel economy and 6 plugs cannot be used in one sentence as an average earner

Hmmmm. The difference is not as much as people thinks. It depends on what ever the user wants.

Going By My Own Consistent View of this model overtime , it's not fit for raising

But sir you shouldn't have gotten that for bad road, raising it will clearly disfigure the car though

Good evening house. I have a very pressing issue.

Whenever I start my car in the morning and shift my gear to drive, the car doesn't accelerate well. The engine keeps revving but the car does not accelerate accordingly.

However, the issue revolves itself after driving for few minutes when the engine has become a bit hot.

Please what could be the cause.

No, but you can get a horrible, severly bused, sleepless night, for that amount. And remember to put your mechanic number on a speed dial.

Please I wish anybody can help me with this: My Honda CR-V 08 has been having serious issues with it's kick starter. This is the 4th time in less than six months it is having a kick issue. I suspect that something is wrong . I have discussed this with my car electrician on Wednesday I changed the same kick to trace what causes this recurrent kick issues. The kick I changed on Wednesday just failed again today�. Please I need experienced advise on this
Hmmmmm, did you changed the kick completely or have it worked on.
If u have always changed the kick starter, do you know the part(s) that kept getting bad on the kick. The will really help diagnose the fault.
Secondly was any work done on the car before this fault started.?

Is your transmission fluid up to the top mark on your transmission dipstick?

Good morning to you. Thank you for all the suggestions. The issue has been fixed.

Like you suggested, the problem was the gear transmission fluid. It was almost empty. My mechanic remove the old fluid, cleaned the system and added new gear transmission fluid.

The result was instant. My car is back to normal.

Thank you.

Re: Car Talk Chat Room by Wyzz(m): 1:07pm On Aug 09, 2020
The best thing to do is to get a scan tool and scan your vehicle. But it could be a fuel filter problem or the transmission fluid is low.
