This won't help much, but just wanted to say that in terms of obtaining parts for these (depending on what you need) it is rather tricky at times. For example, none of the scrapyards within 30 mile radius of me have any of 1st gen crv's in stock. As you've mentioned some parts are discontinued. The only hope is to keep checking eBay until something pops up, or find someone who is breaking one up for parts, but that would be eBay as well I suppose. Good luck.

Not yet, although it is on the to do list. Lack of time is a factor. Though the transmission is changing gears smoothly and there is no clonking when engaging gears. When I eventually get round to changing the fluid I will put an update up. The fluid itself does not look too bad. It is not new, I can tell that much, but not too bad. Is the filter actually a serviceable item on these transmissions, or can you only access it when you are rebuilding the gearbox?

Hello, does anyone have a first generation CR-V with the 126bhp engine and automatic gearbox? If so, what speed is your engine doing at 60mph (level road, steady speed)? I think my transmission, or somethin else, is slipping slightly, because the engine is doing about 3000rpms and stays there, and I thought it should be closer to 2500-2600rpms. Any advice would be much appreciated. There don't appear to be any other issues with the gearbox. It is selecting gears without any issues and the change is about as smooth as any other 4 speed automatic gearbox from that era.

Just for the sake of an update, I have managed to source a used one for not many pounds and installed it on the car, so the fuel leak is no more. Just before that I also enquired at a local specialist parts supplier (I think they specialise in motorsport and custom builds) and they advised that making a section of a fuel line is not an issue at all and they could get all the parts. They only asked me to bring the old one in so that we could measure it, but I never got round to it because I got a second-hand one shortly after. Anyway, issue is now resolved. Onto the next one. Thank you for your replies.

No worries, the car's been parked since I've noticed the leak.

I should probably add the car is a 1998 CRV 2.0 petrol automatic.

Hello, I need to replace a fuel line that runs from the top of the fuel filter "to the engine". It's the one that has banjo connectors and is about 40cm long. There is a tear in it and fuel is dripping out when the system is under pressure. I can't get a new one, and had no luck finding a used one. Does anyone know if it would be the same part as for the Civic from that generation? Or is it a matter of getting individual parts and fashioning a new one myself? Any advice would be very welcome.
