I have a 9 Civic EX and I wondered if what I am experiencing is normal..
When I am driving and am coasting to a stop (eg. approaching a red light),
when I step on the gas to accelerate (once the light goes green), the tranny
"lurches"...It is almost like it is too high a gear and when I step on the
gas, it has to suddenly downshift to the next lowest gear. The result is
that the car sort of lurches forward as the tranny downshifts..

I know that this is no luxury car but if this is normal, I have lost ALL
respect for Honda.

This is a replacement tranny from Honda and I can't remember this problem
occuring with the original tranny (until it gave me other problems!)

Any thoughts would be helpful..
Thanks,
MG
