My wife drives a 1997 CR-V, 4WD, 96K miles. I drove it last week and noticed that the tranny does not seem to be locking up in 4th gear. Usually, after the reannny shifts into 4th, revs drop once again when the torque converter locks up. Lataely, this has become a problem in that sometimes it locks up, sometimes it just won't. Anyone have this problem, and what to do?

 

there not much help to be found down here, ask in the civic forum (civic/integra/EL) cause thats becailly the same car as yours, cept you have AWD (dont confuse it with 4wd)

 

my 98 Civic has same problem recently , I did the research on internet, there are few hondas has same problem, which is cold weather the torque converter will not lock up, it is about 10F now here in Canada, my civic torque converter not lockup at all, when it was above 40 it can lock up some time... looks like some kind of sensor problem..
