Who's had a bad transmission? *UPDATED*

jugadro · 08-15-2005

I'm trying to get a little record of people that have had any sort of internal tranny problems (not including drive shafts or toasted clutches). This thread will most-likely be submitted to Honda of America.

Be sure to state the year of your civic and if it is an automatic or manual.

I'm currently in process with Honda of America to replace my 57000 mile "grinding mill" of a transmission under the Magnuson-Moss Act of 1975 for Implied Warranties. And I'm curious to see just how common of a problem this really is.

Let's hear it.

01 civic auto... tranny didn't go into gear, needed to be rebuilt. so its still in my back yard

I've got a 01 EX manual and i've had no trany problems, no grinds in any gears and the car has been driven really hard, I used to have a GS-R so I tend to try and make this car go faster than it will. I did change my manual trany fluid at 40,000 and now I have 58,000. Just wanted to post seeing as everyone is mentioning the 01.

I got an 01 ex 5 speed and have a messed up clacking sound. Honda says it might be a clutch disk or throw out bearing . A honda adjuster had to come look at my car and make his report. I think its something internal and waiting on word about warranty but the way they have been talking to me it seems like they are gonna try to sc@w me cause I have aftermarket parts. Well I hope they are ready for a battle because I got the federal law on my side and Im not gonna take the b.s.

I have had no work done to mine....but i do grind from 2nd - 3rd and have trouble going into reverse sometimes and it grinds.

It is a '01 EX M/T

01 honda auto. Code said bad torque converter, solenoid and pump... Replaced it with a used tranny and its not working either. The code on it says Shift Control System, still trying to find out the exact problem(possibly having old one rebuilt or this "used" which supposedly has 55k on it.

My friend has an 01 Civic LX Auto and had to have his transmission rebuilt due to slippage. Rediculous.

i've had an entire transmission replaced in my 04 civic manual because a bolt broke and completely smashed all my gears.

I have a 2002 civic ex auto. At 52,000k tranny started slipping and gave out 2 days later. Had car towed to dealer. They said code reader read "incorrect gear ratio" and it was unrepairable. They replaced tranny with what they said was a new one. The color of tranny said otherwise, it had a darker tone than my engine and looked dirtier than my broken tranny, oh well. If it breaks again they better replace it, again.

01 ex auto, was acting up after bout 60k km, then one day it was throwing a TPS sensor code, then bang, gave me incorrect gear ratio, did a ecu reset it drove for a bit then went to limp mode long enough to drive it to a tranny shop. Replaced it w/an 02 or 01 tranny, dont remember (got it from salvage) runs like new FOR NOW.... shop told me one cause of it dieing was some bad solenoids
