My automatic transmission in 2000 Civic EX is slipping was running fine then on the way home it started o slip going in to 2nd. It loses speed going up a hill I have parked it. Is there a adjustment to the bands that can be made or is he tranny just scrape now?

I would try changing the filter and fluid first. But It could be a shift solenoid or a broken band in the transmission.

that is your ttc solenoid . it is your torque converter lock up solenoid. it is located in the transmission ,and to get the it you have re move the side pan on the transmission on the drivers side

Take it to a tranmissision shop to have it check out, Before it gets worse, Unless you have money to burn,

Transmission gear assembly and transmission needs inspection. Also check the transmission fluid level. Also is the fluid getting leaked or its low.

There are few very helpful links with solutions to troubleshoot these problem.

Thanks.

You should not use overdrive unless you are steadily going highway speeds. I had one of those and my ex liked to use cruise control on windy coastal roads. This caused it to shift back and forth from 3rd to overdrive constantly. So I disconnected the cruise control so he couldn't use it. Lol. I'm not suggesting this for you. You should keep overdrive off for now and have your transmission serviced. New filter & oil & flush the cooler. Make sure you ONLY USE THE RECOMMENDED FLUIDS!!!!!!!!!! See if that helps. Do not use overdrive pulling a trailer and going up a hill and do not use it if you are on windy roads where you are slowing down alot of times. Try letting off the gas for a second when you do want to engage the overdrive. Remember to always check your automatic tranny fluid with the engine running and fully warmed up.

I think you mean the distributor ignition module
If you have an automatic transmission it probably
a vacuum advance valve/Sensor hose may be missing or
defective.You can probably find the manual at your local
library

Most likely the second gear section of the transmission has gone bad. There are 3 or 4 different gear sections or assemblies in an automatic transmission, when they go bad, they go bad.

try having the transmission filter and fluid changed.

Yes, it could very well be a bad transmission.

Quote from Haynes manual for 2000-2005 ford focus:

'Due to the complexity of the automatic transaxle, it is difficult for the home mechanic to properly diagnose and service this component.'

You may have to visit a transmission expert...save up some $$ first.
