Honda Civic 2000 Transmission Issue
 

Hi There, first of all sorry for my english… So i have an automatic 2000 Honda Civic Lx (sedan). so my transmission had a issue like 2 years ago that after 50mph the transmission start to up and down shift. so i manage to not get that fast to avoid that. So the last week i was on a trip and i stop in a red light. So when i acelerate it doesnt move at all. just a little bit and when it get a little speed it change hard to 2nd gear. after 2nd gear it was ok. So i do a research about that. It comes to appareantly the transmission control solenoid. so i buy it and install it. When i turn on the car and put it on Drive, the car moves normal about 2 second and then is like the gear disengage and had to put my pedal down to 3 or 4k rpm to get a little speed to make it to 2nd gear and when it does is hard. after that is normal. Any Help? any suggestion?

welcome to the forum. what type of fluid are you using for your civic transmission?

The last 2 qts i add was Castrol ATF for.Honda. but this was after the issue start that i notice that the fluid was a little bit low.

do you know what type of fluid was used previous to having to add the last 2 qts of castrol atf.. change all the fluid to honda only fluid, drive the car some then change the fluid again. see if this helps any. also if you have high miles the transmission may be worn out.
