**warning : newb question **

i know about the problems of a 5th gen transmission and mine recently hit the 100 k miles mark. my transmission doesnt seem to catch very well and is somewhat jerky.

1) what are some things i can do to fix this? (cheaper the better)
-when searching posts i read that you can change the timing belt. how much would this cost? i also read that you should change the transmission fluid. how would i do this.

sorry for such newb questions but i have never really done much of this stuff and this is my first car.

thanks

 

If you want to keep the car for a longer period of time. I recommend taking it to a mechanic.

thrs one for manual.

but i think changing tranny ATF should kinda help or a tranny flush. otherwise id personally would get a stick.

 

Have the fluid flushed and have honda adjust whatever they can. It might be a bit on the $$ side, but cheaper than a manual conversion or a new slushbox...

 

Yeah definitly have honda change the fluid.
