AboutGary J. Meyer II Expertise The types of questions I can answer would be related to Honda automobile diagnosis and repair procedures. I can't diagnose every car via email because some tests just require a good old fashion road test.
Experience I am a Honda automobile technician with twenty years of new car dealership experience. My first few years as a Honda tech date back to when Honda cars were still offered in carburated models. In the last few years, I've been exposed to the integration of hybrid powered cars, the Natural Gas powered GX Civic, and electronic features ranging from voice activated GPS navigation to power sliding doors. I have been certified as an ASE Master Technician and passed the L1 Advanced Engine Performance test in 2000. I opened my own independent import repair shop specializing in but not limited to Honda automobiles in 2008. Operating my own shop has re-energized my enthusiasm for automobiles.

Question I have an civic 2002 4 door lx the trans slips when shifting all gears I have changed the fluid with honda z1 car has only 60000 miles what can cause this? it has done this for a long time it lockes up well when you lift off the gas
Answer On the Honda cars as new as yours there can be a fault code stored in the car's PCM. If the car has an excessive slip in all forward gears I would expect there would be a code. How did the fluid that was drained look and did it have any foreign particles in the drained fluid? Have you had an experienced Honda technician drive the car? This truly sounds like a car that would need to be driven to diagnose.
