Report: Possible Shift Control Solenoid Fault
Honda Civic Problem
Model Years Affected: 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2006
Drive Train Affected: Automatic Transmission
Average Mileage: 106,801 mi (11,145 mi - 171,500 mi)
The shift control solenoid externally mounted on the automatic transmission (non CVT) can fail and causes a harsh 1-2 shift. Replacing the shift solenoid and flushing the transmission with genuine Honda automatic transmission fluid may eliminate harsh shifting characteristics. A broken internal spring can cause the same issue. If the shift control solenoid does not repair the problem, the transmission will have to be replaced.

Seems fine while driving, there is a slight hiccup between shifts 1-2 that wasnt there till recently, as soon as that started i havnt been able to get into the 4th gear...at all, so it shifts to the 3rd, and regardless of what i do it doesnt want to shift any higher. seems to happen fairly often in civics...

Won't shift into first and slips and shutters. Then it seems to do fine in the upper gears.

We had severe driving issues and went to a mechanic to have the issue looked into and was inform that we may need to replace the transmission and the he researched and found this same issue with other hondas and he now is going to replace the solenoid to see if that resolves the problem.

My car is the 5 speed auto. 2006 civic coupe. My automatic transmission is having a hard time shifting from gear to hear specifically 1-2 I have a warranty on my car so I am debating whether to take it is or not I do not want to pay out of pocket for this repair.

shifting from 1st gear to 2nd gear was becoming more jerky with time.until one day i was on the cruising down the highway when suddenly the car went to 2nd gear and did not want to get out. took it to the mechanic to replace the whole tranny cause it way too expensive to rebuild the old one.

hard time on reverse gear, during 20kph to 50kph it looks like hard time going to the next gear automatically so it seems like a slide in the transmission occurs
