Just saw your post and yes this is indeed a known age related issue on the 8th Gen Civic. I have also faced the same and just like saket77, I too have replaced the same with a simple bolt. Check the following video. It is a simple 5 min fix: Best, Enigmatic | |

I ended up saving 1.5K overall, not to mention the immense satisfaction one gets out of accomplishing something like this. Last edited by rr_zen : 28th October 2020 at 17:25. | |

| ![]() Hi Greetings, I have a 2013 Civic V AT which I bought last year at 48K kms (Verified the mileage from Honda independently) on the odometer. I have driven the car a bit and now the Odometer stands at 54K Kms. I had to replace the Cooling coil and the Engine mounts were replaced as well (as preventive maintenance) since I despise vibrations of any sort. Both jobs and other routine servicing were carried out outside of Honda since I was in no mood to be overcharged or have them point out other flaws with the car that don't exist. One thing that I haven't touched is the Transmission oil. I wanted to know what's the frequency of changing the same and am keen on getting it done. I'm however in a fix whether to get it done at Honda or through FNGs that I know. The other day I happened to ring up Honda for inquiring about the same and the dude mentioned about the CVT oil being changed. I promptly corrected him that the 2013 and older models sold have Torque Converters and Not CVTs. Thing is, such instances aren't exactly confidence inspiring and using CVT oil in a Torque Converter setup could be disastrous. I would give it to my trusted mechanic but again need to be sure that he would use Honda ATF only. Any thoughts on this? Also I have heard that one you drive a lot and the oil hasn't been changed, its better not to change it since it can lead to slipping (If the fluid is already black). Hence a keen on getting it done promptly since 54k kms isn't much. Last edited by Gannu_1 : 19th November 2020 at 19:20.

Maybe a jab of Wd-40 could loosen things up. Best to get it checked at a good FNG. Do not take it to Honda. They will ask for a door replacement. Initially I thought it could be due to the child safety lock but I figured you have trouble opening from outside rather than inside. Last edited by sumeethaldankar : 19th November 2020 at 17:15. |

Where exactly should WD-40 be sprayed? On the handle itself, it doesn't seem to be of much use. | |

Civic AT transmission oil change interval is 60K for the first change, and then every 40K kilometres. Also, I second Saket's suggestion on HASS for regular maintenance. the 60K service costs including the ATF change and oil change is around 6K. | ||

Thanks a lot for responses you both! Much appreciated. I was actually considering giving HASS a chance and strictly telling them to undertake only the routine service like Oil changes, checking various fluid levels, Throttle body cleaning, general tune up , etc and telling them up front that there are no leaks whatsoever in the car (The Infamous Power Steering rack and Pump issue which i believe is their standard rip off recommendation) or other issues. Just that due to the lockdown and Covid, I wasn't comfortable sending the car there without being able to be there and guide them personally. I have read a few horror stories about vehicles being dinged or the interiors being stained or AC's going bust etc, so I was a bit wary. Guess i'll try them out once after the 6 months schedule is up.As for the Transmission oil, I am inclined to get it done at HASS, but as mentioned by me, my telephonic conversation with the Service advisor wasn't the most reassuring considering he was mentioning about CVT oil being changed. Or as Saket advised, i'll get that changed from my FNG. Lets see. I Guess I have a few thousand Kms left until its due as rightly pointed out by you regarding the 60K mark( My Odometer stands at 54k kms).Also 6 K for a service including AT oil is not bad at all, pretty darn reasonable I'd say. |

| ![]() Hello fellow BHP ians. Need your direction and help. My 2007 Honda Civic Manual Transmission has done about 46,000 km. The engine is absolutely perfect and no complaints. During my routine service at Arya Honda Mumbai I have however been told the folllowing: 1. Both CV axel boots are cut up 2. Both tie rod end bushings are cut up 3. Both rear linkages are weak 4. Both Lowrys arms are weak 5. All dampers are weak I assume the 13 years I have had this car would have degraded these parts. Your help please on the following: 1. How do I get the above attended to? Who is a dependable and knowledgable person or shop in Mumbai that can do this for me 2. In your opinion should I spend that kind of money to get these attended to. I plan to keep the car as its worth nothing in terms of sale and has a fantastic engine and a manual transmission. Any direction would be great. Thanks! |
