My 1997 Hondas civic shifts hard and bumps when it downshifts, could you suggest what this might be? It has always shifted fairly hard.
Thank you

Hi dalemccaw,

Problem is most likely to be due to the shift solenoids.

Is the D4 indicator blinking while driving?

Get a scan done to see if there are any trouble codes. If none, get the shift solenoids checked.
