Count your blessings. But if you turbo it, you KNOW it won't last long, so be prepared to fix it yourself next time. The tranny's are too weak for boost in general even though some have been lucky.
wow, okay...hmmm
1) i have yet to have any problems with any of the other gears (knock on wood)
2)what is up with all the transmissions being rebuilt and people having 2 or more transmissions? are you just driving your car hard or is it not properly tuned or is it normal wear and tear? i am directing this question to those who have had multiple or rebuilt trannys.
i drive my car pretty hard and have had no problems...just curious.
and you know, if these are all common problems, why isn't there a recall on out trannys???

Mine is a 5-speed. I had problems from when I first got it. 2nd gear was popping out. It continued to get worse, so I took it to the dealership before the warranty ran out. It took a couple of times to get it right, but now it seems to be fine except it don't go into reverse that well, but it doesn't happen all the time.

NO, it's not from abuse or driving hard. The trannys are just junk.

i got the car back yesterday, they installed a new 2nd and 3rd gear shift fork, synchronizer, manual tranny fluid, right and left control arms, driver side window regulator, but they forgot to do my passenger side window regulator, so i can take it back in the next 30 days and theyl do that for free.
any of you that have problems, write a nasty letter to honda about how ur upset that your honda isnt lasting like other hondas are and you wont reccommend anyone to buy a honda and youl get something for free out of it, i got lik $1500 in new parts for free

While we may be a minority, I have to agree that Honda blew it with the 7th gens. That's what happens when you try to stretch your profit margins too tight. EVERYONE with problems should write a letter to Honda so they can't deny the problems these cars have. The transmission being the main issue here. Everything else is really pretty minor as cars go. Until this car, I never heard of transmission problems till maybe 250k. My last hatchback is still going strong at about 200k. Wish I had kept it.
No, everyone needs to write to consumer affairs AND Honda, BBB, everyone. It's a pain and takes time but with enough complaints hopefully it will have some recourse or affect their bottom line in the future. I don't care, my tranny has been rebuilt so my objective now is to spread the word about how horrible these transmissions are. Maybe they will re-think their engineering soon and make some serious changes. If not, it will come back to bite them and this is only the beginning.
2002 LX coupe, automatic, 90+k miles, just diagnosed dead. Tranny fluid was good ... except for a crap load of magnetic shavings. Car has always been gently driven and dealer serviced by the book too.
(In the meantime, the borrowed car is a 5 cylinder Nissan Maxima. Yes, I know it has a V6. Sadly, that number is correct.)
it sucks our transmissions suck...kinda makes you wonder why hondas are so good then! it almost makes me paranoid that something is wrong with mine. every little noise or everytime i find it hard to get it into a gear, almost as if i were a hypochondriac when it comes to my car

I have a I had to have my clutch replaced at 28,000 miles, and had more work done about 34,000 miles. Been doing fine since then and i'm about to pass 59,000.
