I have a 2001 and I know some of the trannys are bad. If I rev too high in first then shift to second it falls out of first as I'm shifting. Now it's falling out of 5th gear completely while I'm driving and I'm getting some wierd smells in the cabin. This **** was happening before my car was boosted. I know I need to replace it I was just wondering if this is happening to anyone else?

yank the turb off and head to the dealer for a free rebuild.

^you dont have a tranny cooler do you? if you have an auto...
Seems like you got a stick and in that case you have been running to much boost maybe....

I'm not an expert but if the tranny pops out of gear doesnt that mean that the clutch is worn out?

he has been running 4 psi for a long time and just upped it to 8 i think

its the synchros on the 2/5 gearset. they are garbage but honda only sent out recalls to a limited number of people. mine are like that. i have to suffer till i can get a hold of a new tranny to install myself.

Labor hours are whats gonna kill ya. my cost to fix the problem is like no more than $200 in parts, but just to remove and reinstall a tranny is an 8 hour job. Add in a teardown and rebuild is like another 4-6 hours i think. i'm glad i can do it myself. loss of time but saves me money in the end.

give em a call and see what they say. also point out the service bullitin. maybe they will be cool and hook you up. Its worth a shot.

I could have come in for warranty work too, but I didn't. I'm a dumbass. Anyway, I read the TSB. I will go through it and understand the problem when I flush my tranny fluid. I'll see if there's a fix that requires no parts. Maybe there is. Maybe there isn't. I'll post a DIY of course. I'm thinkin' this month.

no, when the clutch is gone you can put the car in any gear w/o using the clutch then take your fut off the clutch while it is still in gear and not moving. w/ a burnt clutch it is like you are basically stuck in neutral no matter which gear you put it in.

How many miles do you guys have on the 01s? I have a 2k1 with only 25k and I haven't had this exact problem yet. However, I think the tranny sucks overall so I'm going for a k20a_ swap in about 6-8 months.

man, everyone keeps talking about a k20 swap like no tomorrow. how much are those gonna run if you buy all necessary parts like the tranny and all that blah...

 
Rep Power: 324

I am at 59k tranny was rebuilt at around 30k under warranty bad syncros.

if i was to get my tranny rebuilt b/c of faultiness...... would i need to take off my I/H/E??? i dont want them saying it's b/c of those that cause my tranny to go retarded.

Damn, Im thinking I should go have my trans checked before my warranty is up in september.

 
Rep Power: 0

from what i've been hearing/seeing, the trans will start to go around 45-60k miles. i've seen it personally on like 5 different civics.

 
Rep Power: 0

my a/t trans started to slip at about 30k just when it was cold out now its at 60k and it does it no matter what. Im having it rebuilt with a shift kit put in. its only going to set me back about 1400bux.

i just lost my clutch @ 45,000 holefully nothing wrong with the tranny be sides my 3rd gear synchros are going. but u said ur boosted make sure your air filter isnt laying on the linkage mine was making shifting harder.

mine went at about 40000km. They rebuilt it in a day. Now its perfect

I cant wait for my rebuild

They will take one look at my car and tell me I'm crazy for thinking they would rebuild it for free. Eventhough there is a TSB I'm sure they will blame it on the Turbo.

I was running 4 psi but I recently installed an ACT HDSS clutch and a Streetlite flywheel so now I'm at 8 psi. The boost has nothing to do with the tranny going bad, Honda messed up on the 2001 trannys.

I don't think it is an 8 hr job to remove the tranny. We detached it and slid it to the side in less than 5 hrs with taking breaks. You can remove the tranny out the top if you remove everything on the passenger side of the head.

doesnt Honda have a 60k mile power train warrenty (engine, tranny, drive axel)? the bumper to bumper expires at 36k miles but i'm pretty sure the power train is still good.

Powertrain warrentys would most likely be void with boost.

Just purchased a EX tranny for $325 off of car-part.com

No, Honda powertrain warranty is same as the bumper to bumper at 3yrs/36000miles. Toyota and Nissan and all the Korean cars have better warranty than us.

I've got an 02' 5sp.....did almost the same thing...
I was still under warrenty, but they said they weren't going to fix it because they thought I raced it.....
They finally ended up fixing it after some bitching...
