I got 4 sizeable door dings. So it was worth it to have it done one shot.

Not just open door like swat team raid a house style of opening door, I sit inside car personally see once a proton park beside they open bang my car, civic whole car shake.

Sometimes also aunty with specially big bag and lots of keychain drag past your car. Like wolverine scratch your car few lines together de.

Hello guys, my civic coming out soon, maybe next week
(TCP black )
wanna get opinion, should i go modulo package? or buy at any accesories shop. was thinking of getting Ativus or Aerokit ( similar with modulo ).

locktech done many before on civic
350

Except the price.. How about the quality??

I looked into the patent office submission, this 8 speed DCT is technically not a common DCT. It is neither a conventional AT with with planetary gears.

It is something of its own - Parallel Axes Automatic Transmission with Torque Converter. Patented by Honda, and never use by any other car makers.

In theory, it will not provide the direct shift performance shift feel of the DCT, but it will be more smooth and less mechanically complicated than the planetary gears in conventional AT. Something simple to manufacture and cost effective, but difficult for mortal like me to understand its operation.

Below is the key features of Honda DCT vs common DCT. I'm still trying to understand how which one is gear 1,2,3 etc, merely figured out the concept for now.

- Honda DCT have the gears like MT.
- It has 3 input shafts and one output shaft.
- It doesn't have dog tooth nor synchronizer, and doesn't use mechatronic to lock the gear to the shaft.
- It use wet clutches to select gear (this replace the mechatronic, and make sense without synchronizer needed).
- So far I calculated 6 clutches from the figures, probably more.
- How it connect the engine crankshaft to the gearbox where the common DCT have clutches? Torque converter!
- I don't know which input shaft the torque converter connected to yet.
- So it does have clutches, but it uses it for different purpose. The clutches sits in common DCT/MT are replaced with torque converter.

Common DCT is sequential, it is slower when you do a double downshift because pre-select doesn't work in the same shaft.
Looks like this thing can jump whatever gears as it wish like magic by flipping the the 6 clutches (6 for now).
My only doubt is the clutch plates likely to be smaller in order to fit so many of them in the gear box casing. Probably max torque it can handle will be limited.

Probably give up for now. Wait until this gear box gets popular and someone make a youtube tutorial.

Sometimes I feel Honda like to overcomplicate things for very minute gains.

Their fancy DCT and braking system in their iDCD systems come to mind.

1xxx vs 2xxx. Half year warranty vs one year warranty. Random paint job vs Honda paint job. I get it from Honda because I believe their paint will last longer than outside random paint and Honda using water base paint.

My wife's 1.8S battery also suddenly kaput 2 weeks ago. No warning at all. HIP came and replaced for almost RM300. They said many cases of Civic battery kong suddenly and quickly.

So, I sent my car in to the SC and as expected, the response was "it's normal". I don't think it is though. It's beginning to happen more often now especially when coming to a stop and I ease off the brakes, the car will jerk forward. The only way I can prevent this is to come to a full stop and continue to hold the pedal a bit.....and no...this isn't the vibrating jerk you feel when brakehold tries to engage. The SC advised to just continue using it until it happens every time, only then it'll be considered an issue.

On another note, does your arm rest shake a bit if you nudge it left to right? Mine feels loose since I got the broken seat clips issue fixed. Reason I'm asking here instead of going to the SC is if it's normal, I really don't want to waste my time.

Try another service centre.

Maybe...just maybe good for transmission fluid change....

Another wrong CVT fluid fiasco in the making

I'm kinda losing hope on Honda SC already. Maybe on the next service I'll try another SC and bring this up.
What's the wrong CVT fluid fiaso?

taikor dares

Can cerita on this?

Did you ever get this resolved? I've got the same problem too.

Lol why ask me?

If you mean the debacle with the Honda City GD8 (turtle shell City) with CVT, the SC salah masuk ATF instead of CVTF into the geabok causing them to konk overtime. Now so many Honda models using CVT, I don't think they are making the same mistakes gua.

Newbie838 mia symptoms can be many factors, need to send to another SC for second opinion.

Thanks man. Guess I"ll just have to keep at it until someone finds a solution. Either that or it gets bad enough that the SC can't say it's normal anymore.

You more experience into cars and longer in online forums mah...i'm just merely a korean fanboi remember

See, your answer so concise and straight to the point, power of experience

Hello Guys, i would like to own the Honda Civic FC for lifelong like 10 - 15 yrs
