Hey guys,
So this morning leaving work headed to school, I was leaving the parking lot turning into an intersection and I noticed a slight sputter or hesitation in my car. I don't know if it was the tranny or not. I hadn't even hit 10 mph before I noticed a slight hesitation or sputter that lasted maybe a second. No check engine light or any light at all came on when this happened. I'm fairly sure that it's not a bad spark plug because I just changed them(oem) about 10k miles ago but I did do a drain and fill on the tranny(oem fluid)yesterday. I've got a little under 103k miles on the car now and this has never happened before. It literally reminds me of driving my dads ole 81 custom 20 Chevy on a cold morning with the engine being stubborn till it warmed up. I know for a fact that I put the correct amount of tranny fluid back into the transmission when I refilled it so I'm certain that that's not a contributor but I feel as though I'm out of my realm of knowledge here. It may be just a one time thing but i don't like not knowing. Especially since the wife and I have a vacation coming up in the next 3 weeks.
I've driven this car In sub zero temps several times when I was stationed in Virginia for three years and never did I have this happen. As a matter of fact I had the car running about two minutes before I ever backed out of the parking space I was in so I know the car wasn't sputtering due to a cold "crank and haul". Anything you guys have would be helpful! Sorry it is an automatic transmission.
The vehicle is my civic in my signature
