newbie question on gears
Just got 1999 honda civic LX. my first automatic car.
I am not sure the gears 2 (not D2), D3, D4 which are used for what.
my experience is that 2 is used for low speed ( when I am looking for parking lot)
D3 is used for regular driving in town. Is that right?
Thanks.

RE: newbie question on gears
wierd thing is that I don't have D1 in my car. so it starts with D2.. is that all right?
And when driving at D3, there is a slight moment of slowing down when the speed reaches around 25 mph. that's normal ?
thanks a lot

Read your manual.

Agree with KOMMANDO. On my 94 accord auto..I only use the D3 on the city and above 55 mph it's asking for the D4...Like driving on the highway. Most of the time I just drive it with D4 it's not going to hurt it at all.
I heard so many cases before people messing up there transmission because they mess up too much with the gears. D1 D2 D3 D4
