![]() whilst it was checked out with code reader,it says PO717 Code,means Input/turbine speed sensor A circuit/ No Signal.(the no signal worries me,is there a wiring problem?)this sensor was replaced by a tranny shop,code reset,and the same code is back again after a few days,meanwhile,it seems to have slipped a few times when I have shifted (flared up) to reverse or Drive.when it was cold outside -2 degrees.but otherwise that no problems,it seems to change gears ok and fluid is good(but smells a bit) and at its right level. when i bought it,it had the service engine light on in it. ![]() it has a 2004 (canada)civic,2 litre vortec with 75000.00 kilometers, auto. Hi, I am new to this site (still not sure how to put a question on this forum,?,you guys seems to know a vast amount of information and I have a problem with a car i just recently purchased. $20 and 10 minutes worth of time a year is cheap insurance against a $3000 repair. The same is true for many other people in the civic community. Need proof, Gearbox and I have both have defective failing auto transmissions for years and I'm confident if we didn't change the fluid regularly both of ours would already have failed. If you imagine dropping a handful of sand into your transmission when you change the fluid at the recommended service point, that basically whats happening internally. When you change the fluid at the recommended service point the refreshed detergent abilities of the fluid break free all the build ups of particles, which damage your transmission. The result is both increased friction in the transmission, which is harmful for obvious reasons and a gradual build up of shed particles between gears and such. Transmission fluid has both detergent and lubrication properties, but over time the quality of both of those properties degrade without the physical colour of the fluid changing. the search button seems to have an error, hundreds of threads should come up transmission fluid searched. I'm sure you have, but I can't seem to find much with the search feature. If you want more details on transmission fluid changes search, we've discussed and explained it many times on this forum. So, instead of pushing the limits of the fluid in what is by far the most delicate component of your car spend $20 a year in fluid. Most manufacturers advise changing auto-trans fluids between 60k-100k miles depending on the design of the transmission, but auto trans failure is a major problem for Honda, Ford, Audi and other manufacturers. I have 27,000 miles on my 07 and the automatic tranny fluid is still like new.Is it really like new, have you taken the fluid out of the transmission filtered it and tested it's lubrication and detergent properties? Have you filtered out all the small particles of metal in the fluid through a series of systematic drains?Ĭolour is just one small sign that the fluid is at the end of its life and the warning light is nothing more than a dedicated trip odometer. ![]() It only says to change when the warning light comes on, and it hasn't. Sorry for doubting, but that is hard for me to believe.
