Civic reborn prosmatec. Shakey, jerky shifting

[ag3ntx]

I own a honda civic oriel prosmatec 2010. With 135000 kms on the clock. I have periodically changed ATF as recommended by company with genuine honda ATF.

Its been a few moths that i have been facing a problem. The car shakes or jerks while shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear and then from 3rd to 4th only when i use light foot.

If i go hard on the gas pedal the gears shifts normarlly without any jerks.

Anyone who has also experienced such fault..

Kindly share your experience and solution

Have you tried putting your car in d3 ?? Whats the result then while changing from 2nd to 3rd gear in d3??

Any how.

Owned 2 civics. Faced same problem.
And alot of my family members faced it.

4-5 years back my 2008 civic reborn only 45k driven started the same problem.
I went for computerise tuning (not from honda).
And the problem solved.

6 months back my 2010 civic reborn only 80k driven started the same problem.
Went to the same mechanic he said that its gear problem.

could be control arm bushes broken..

It works fine in d3. The mechanic told me to change the transmission. I own two reborns, both 2010 model.. both have same issue

Go for computerise tuning first.
I guess it doesnt make sense but it worked for me.

Wont be too much costy thats why refering for tuning.
If didnt worked then repair the gear box.

My 2nd reborn 2010 model have the same issue, didnt work after tuning and it was slipping of gear train.
But it was really minor, hard to feel/understand

Valve clearance adjustment
Throttle body cleaning
Fuel filter change

And after all that the ECU was configured

But still the same issue

check the MAF sensor PID on a scan tool, if its reporting stupid readings, the transmission will shift bad.

Its basic level understanding, what sort of workshops are you guys visiting?

btw - dousing the honda MAF sensor too much makes it die earlier, and scrap parts dont work - buy a new one.

Okay. I will change the sensor and update you if it works

[Xulfiqar]

check the scan data and then proceed.

Kindly tell the procedure of scanning the MAF sensor

[Xulfiqar]

any good scan tool which can pull deeper data instead of just error codes. Any proper workshop worth their money will have such tool.

you need to see a 1g/lit/sec inflow of air.

meaning at idle you should be seeing about 1.8gm/sec of air being pulled. Also check the air temperature sensor reading. A really whacked out temp reading will cause real bad shifting.

sudden abrupt throttle opening should immediately register a change - but if your scan tool has a poor transfer rate, it will be useless. I usually use an oscilloscope for such tests, but your average shop in Pk wont even know what an oscope it.

Love your comments, do you really think someone will pull PIDs in Pk before replacing the entire drivetrain? - It is not too hard to grab a pico these days though.

@OP:
Xulfiqar bhai is spot on, shifts are not being modulated for all throttle inputs. Well, atleast for how you put it. Disconnect the MAF and drive the car on preset

[ag3ntx]

Problem solved.

Inner CV joints were worn out. Replaced complete axles with kabuli ones. Running perfect now.

[abdkhan2]

Can u recommend me good efi mechanic in Nowshera or mardan?

[owais8668]

No one in nowshera iwill recommend.
In mardan iwill recommend you gohar
In peshawar iwill recommend khurshid

[muhammadshakeeb]

bro I am having the same issue. my car jerks or vibrates when it shifts from 2nd to 3rd only. Doesnt seem like an issue with inner cv joints. and it usually happens when the car is 8 10 kilometers driven. I changed the transmission oil and the problem resolved for sometime but its happening again. can you help me out here or recommend any good mechanic for it. I am in karachi

[ag3ntx]

Bro for the same issue i changed transmission oil twice, changed fuel pump and fuel filter. But all in vain. Changed the ignition coils and spark plugs. But it didnt work. Got cat converter cleaned twice. Changed MAF sensor... nothing worked..

But as soon as i changed complete axles with kabuli ones it became as good as new car..

[bigb_gr8]

how much they costed you bro

[ag3ntx]

17k for both axles
