Honda accord transmission question
Sorry, I know this is a fit forum but I have got great information here and had a hard time joining a few accord forums as they wanted me to sign up for other things than just the forum. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good accord forum or had an answer to my question. My grandparents bought a 2016 accord automatic & they are driving to Florida from Ohio. My grandfather is wondering about down shifting as they are going downhill to reduce stress on the brakes.

I would just tell them to use their brakes if needed. If they are taking I-75 all the way up/down there are only a couple spots where they will need to worry about it and on a 2016 Accord, I wouldn't worry about the brakes. I've driven this route probably 100 times in my life and have never set the gear lower in my car to slow us down, I usually just use the brakes and have never encountered any issues because of this.

Thanks Kenchan.
Tbh, I don't know. It was a base model and automatic is all I know. I will see them Saturday & ask.
Great people on this site. I bought a wrx & haven't found a forum I like as much for it yet.

hey which wrx did u get? I have a 16 STI with the hk/keyless. luv the thing. so old skool with hydraulic pump steering (the correct setup imho), no weird delays on the drive by wire, LSD, etc etc
I just luv how Subaru left the old skool bits on the ride the way a car SHOULD be for us car guys.
visit me on my blog page below. I talk about many other things besides Fits.

I gave my fit to my niece so the sti wasn't in the budget. I ended up getting a 17 white base. Super happy with it though & just got through the break in before donut season. I did luck out though, ordered a cheap set of flaps but they sent me the rally armor & refused to admit the mistake so I got those for $60. I also got the plates I wanted WZL WRX! I do kinda miss the hatch though.
Not sure if I'm missing a blog link or I'm blind
