Keithchue 5th Gear February 25, 2012 Share February 25, 2012 guess i bought a lemon, my civic 06 gearbox will down shift once i step on the brakes, to slow down, and the rev will occasionally rise to 3K without me touching the accelerator to have the engine brake effect, wonder if this is normal. and during the revvy moment, when i step on the accelerator, it will just rev and no accelerating effect. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonTan 2nd Gear February 25, 2012 Share February 25, 2012 There is a reason why some people sell off their old cars. Because there are problems with the car. And most second hand dealers will just pass the buck to the next unlucky buyer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-K 2nd Gear February 25, 2012 Share February 25, 2012 ya..so dont buy 2nd hand...me quite poor, so have to settle for it as i need to commute whole island daily... any other opinions Don't worry la bro. It ain't gonna cost you > $2,000 + a few days downtime to have your gearbox overhauled. IF you want it cheaper, just go JB and do it. The repair cost is almost half of what you will be paying here (based on price normally quited by KATC, Singapore) Anyway, I believe the moola you spend on the car + its repair bills is still much lower than getting a new ride.

Sei_fei_loh 1st Gear February 25, 2012 Share February 25, 2012 Hi there, Jus took over the car? If so, drive for a little while more. It might be the ecu. Of cos i recommend u to change all fluids of the car since u bot it 2nd hand. Previously, i drove my fil's civic to genting. Being a manual car driver at tat time, i put the civic to manual mode throghout the journey. While gg up/dwn genting, used quite abit of engine braking. When i was driving it bck on sg rds in auto mode, car was so different before the trip. On gg dwn slopes, it downshifted, on gg up gradual slope, it downshifted also. Jus my humble input Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithchue 5th Gear February 25, 2012 Author Share February 25, 2012 i have drove it for 1.5 months, about 6.5k kms. did a full service the day i took over the car. and a throttle body servicing 1 week after that with ECU learning. just curious, is the ECU reflash just for the engine or it consist of the gearbox also. what i dont understand is that since it goes up or down smoothly, should it just be the programming? and not something mechanical.

Passion 5th Gear February 26, 2012 Share February 26, 2012 Mechanical is like second gear going up to third gear and car die off. Electronical is second gear drag until redline then it will change gear. Which one is yours? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keithchue 5th Gear February 26, 2012 Author Share February 26, 2012 Believe it, upshifting and downshifting no problem. Problem is that while braking and going downhill when foot tapping on brake... The engine will engage engine brake dropping gears and ocassionally automatically rev till 3k for the engine brake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engine will engage engine brake dropping gears and ocassionally automatically rev till 3k for the engine brake. While going downhill with foot tapping on brake, it supposed to engage engine brake right. Unless you are talking about driving on level ground and when you brake it engaged engine brake then its not right. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
