Aggressive Driving: Rapid acceleration, hard braking, and sudden gear shifts can all put excessive strain on the transmission.
Frequent Clutch Riding: Resting your foot on the clutch pedal while driving can wear out the clutch prematurely.
Improper Shifting: In manual transmission models, shifting without fully pressing the clutch o r skipping gears can damage the transmission.

Best Driving Habits:

Drive smoothly with gradual acceleration and braking.
Avoid resting your foot on the clutch pedal o r riding it.
Always fully engage the clutch when shifting and avoid quick o r forceful gear changes.

By keeping these tips in mind and ensuring proper care and maintenance, you can significantly extend the lifespan of your Honda City’s transmission.
