Questions About 2018 Honda Civic’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Honda's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Honda Civic? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Civic towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my Civic's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2018 Civic’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Honda's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Honda Civic? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Honda Civic, potentially causing transmission problems.
