danhonda97’s question:
” Hey is me again thanks for answering my questions. do you have any videos were you change the transmition fluid for a honda civic 97 because i cant find a way. how can i change it how to take the bolt out and how to drain out the fluid. thank you again danhonda97 ”
Answer:
No videos yet, but it’s very simple on a honda. They have no filters, they have no pan, they just have a drain plug on the passenger side. Jack up the car and pull off the passenger wheel. You’ll see one bolt that has an INTERNAL square hole in it, it’s the only one that has a hole inside the middle. Put a ratchet on that and remove it. The fluid will come out. Then put it back on and refill through the fill hole.
Randy’s question:
My 2000 Honda Civic has no brake lights. It keeps blowing the brake light fuse. I’ve changed the brake light switch and check all the bulbs and their sockets, and none are damaged or covered in water like some of my older cars used to do. What should I check next?
Answer:
well, you’ve covered the obvious bases to look for a problem. So I would hazard a guess that a wire somewhere is pinched and touching the frame of the car. The last civic I fixed like that had a pinched brake wire in the wiring harness behind the panel on the left side of the rear seat. So start by checking there, as the wiring harness is rather tight there on Civics and can wear through over time.
Jaycee Question: What do you think about the Toyota Yaris or the Honda Civic? I was also looking at the Ford Fusion…Looking to buy a new car, don’t want something that’s going to be a headache in a few years…thanks!!
honda-civic vs.
toyota-yaris
Answer: Well, you’re doing pretty good research there. All three cars are excellant cars. I’ve personally driven AND worked on all three of those cars. My customers with all three were happy with their vehicles and no one had any major complaints about any of those models. The Fusion has the most zip and handling, while the Toyota has the most reliability under its belts. And the civics have been around For Ever, and also have a great reliability track record. You just need to choose which one you want and what price you want to spend. Happy car hunting.
