Well my tranny failed with the 2nd-5th gear popping out and a 3rd gear grind at 35,000 miles with my dad (45 year old) driving it to work everday. Mine did not fail due to "aggressive driving". I mean look at all the transmission TSB's there are. Obviously Honda saw the problem and fixed it in the newer 7thgens. I would expect an 04 not to have the problems of the 01's and 02's.

well i took my car into honda today and they said it would be fully covered by my warranty even with my mods. also have the 7/75,000 on my car so if it fails again........
what im getting fixed:
mainshaft bearing is totally gone
2nd gear synco
I also talked the the service rep at honda and he said that they been getting a lot of ppl coming in with transmission problems mainly the 01-03 models
Thats because honda is getting cheap just like the american counter-parts IMO.
Honda definitely isnt what they used to be...
i kinda agree, i mean god, how can they just ignore this right?

well like someone said, they do the math and its cheaper for them to settle individual cases in court and pay them then to recall millions of cars for a new tranny.

I doubt it, we're a tiny % of the honda civic owners.
If you want them to raise an eye-brow, sue them. Even then it wouldn't do much good unless you've got deep pockets, and if you had deep pockets you wouldn't be driving a civic.

Honda has a repuation of reliablity, if people start saying there cars break down all the time, they will notice, becuase that is 1 of 2 MAJOR selling points of a Honda. But they pay attention to more "official" data than this.

Just got off the phone with one of the main local Transmission repair shops, he said they've seen a lot of late model Honda's with this problem and seemed to know all about it.
They don't rebuild these transmissions, he feels the problem with them is engineering so they won't rebuild them just to have them break again. They buy OEM and give the customer Honda's OEM warranty, which he thought from memory was like 12/12. $2000 for the tranny and $500 for labor.
Anyone know about Aamco's reputation? I know it's a chain and each place might be different, but if it's widely known they use crap parts that would help.
I called them and they said they can rebuild them. He's going to get me best case and worse case scenero quotes and call me back.
