rjones, mach33ty, sorry, I know i cant afford a new car but I cant take this anymore. Ive been shopping for a new car and browsing dealer sites, sorry I just take take this transmission anymore. Ive never been so stressed out in my life. Its such a huge emotional burden on me. Im sitting here and about to cry its affected me so much.

I need to get a new car and be done with this transmission for good.

you do realize the new car you get will have its own set of new problems right?

Well all I can say is good luck. I expect you'll spend more money in the long run when you buy that new car.

Civicnoobie

Ya but just this trans is really stressing me out and has taken a toll on me. After yesterday ive made more adjustments to my driving even though its annoying and more work than what it should be and im used to it but it would be nice if i could just drive a car normally. I stare more at my tach when i shift than on the road

I know i cant afford a new car, and 84 months of car payments would really set me back financially. I dont even know if i would be able to make all them.

FOr the car ya repairs probably not.

nuff said in the end at all...

just leave us in peace and don't come posting other car makers' stuff in here again....
we interested in honda.
you hate yours.
I don't like the new ones.
you hate our cars. what you doing bothering us then?!?!?
there's always a dividing point...

lowlife9

why not just buy a used trans then when it finally goes throw in the new one i believe that would be alot cheaper then a new car.

^ NO! that way he will wonder if the new one is faulty. again. he already have swapped another lower mileage. he have the older one in his closet looking at him and saying - "i was still sooooo young... i wanna be out. i wanna see the world.... why did you put me in this closet? why don't you let me out?!?!?!?!?! I could still run for 1000,000 more miles but he does not believe meeeee!!!!"
that's the sad end of the most reliable auto trans in a 2001 civic, sadly. the owner did not believe in him.

I was keeping quiet this time, but yet again it comes to this...

and if he buys a new trans with his parent's retirement money, he will hang around here again, even if he hates the cars we do love.
So should we all Honda 7th gen civic lovers leave here so he can hate our cars in a honda civic 7th gen forums?!?!?

you know what?

I will make a 2 week strike for that.

see you all in 2 weeks. Most might not miss me, i guess. I am just a honda lover

m3gach33zy

And you have bad credit and don't know if you can make payments?

Sorry can't say anymore than that. Good luck

buy a moped.

Just had my fogs installed tonight and wow do they look good! They sure make the car look that much better at night. The fogs are a lot bigger than i thought. They take up each side of the bumper.

And also put LED for my plate lights, looks so much better!

This was the first time in like 1.5 years that my car made me smile!

WHY ARE YOU MODDING IT IF YOU WANT TO GET RID OF IT? I see where sdaidoji
gets his frustration from...No one is going to buy it if you keep modding it. You'll have to sell it to scrap for $500 and get used to the idea of not being able to drive. Just swap the tranny to manual cause its gonna cost less than a new car, and have fun with your new 5spd.

Civicnoobie

I was suggested that i do some cheap mods to take my mind off the car and start to like the car again.

Fogs and the LEDs were cheap Geez man

But you could instead be spending that money on repairing the car :/

And do what dude? Ive talked to pretty much every expert on here extensively and they all say just leave it as is. Lowlife9 has the exact same issue as me, i mean exact and hes had his from day one and hes drive his car for like 100k miles now and the flare hasnt gotten worse at all.

The yellow fogs and black grill really enhanced the fronts looks, it adds some nice colour. thx

If anything im shocked i waited this long to get fogs put in. Should have done them same time as HIDs.

rjones7755

....So you're keeping the car now?

just an fyi, there is not a single car on the road that is completely problem free. you might think there is, but no. all you can do is drive it til something breaks, then fix it. there are thousands of parts to go around randomly fixing old parts that are still working but could be changed with new (exception being if you have some messed up plastic pieces and want new ones for looks).

Civicnoobie

I just need to be happy with my car and just enjoy it for what it is and look past how it looks or the fact its outdated or knowing im driving a car with a defective trans. I know it could be worse, and even though i see a ton of new nice cars with perfect paint jobs and 4 wheel disc brakes, theres also cars on the road with much more serious problems than mine now.

Adding the fogs and black grill and plate LEDs did help, it made me learn to like my car again. Havent had that feeling in over a year so it was nice for a change.

Not that i want to but i have to for the better of my financial well being.

My first step is to stop browsing online and dealer sites at used cars. ive been doing this everyday for the past 6 months and the more im looking at pics of nice new cars, the more it feeds to my problem of obsessing about having to get a new car. I really need to stop this now.

every car on the road today is outdated, they all use 100 yr old technology.

Civicnoobie

Guess it depends how you look at it

This is why we need to venture more into square wheels...change things up a bit.

Civicnoobie

I dont like to admit it but i wish i was in the FRS. When im driving i keep thinking, "i wish i was in a FRs". I get jealous when i see 8th and 9th gen civics on the road.

Civicnoobie,

It seems like you need to get a break from civilization. Why don't you go on a nice camping trip or a nice hike? Enjoy nature and just get away from it all for a bit. Maybe buy a road bicycle and go for a ride? Or learn a martial art, boxing? Ju jitsu?

There has been research that suggests that married couples, friends, and people in general appreciate, enjoy, and remember experiences over material things/gifts.

For instance, a family goes to Disneyland instead of buying a television. The children get to see Mickey and Harry Potter or whatever the hell there is at Disneyland; I've never been there . The parents are happy to reward or spoil their kids and spend quality family time.

Next, let us say there is GUY A and GUY B. And let us say we give GUY A a bottle of the best wine in the entire world and give GUY B a lifetime supply of the best wine in the entire world. GUY A, has a glass of this wine once in a blue moon (hehe). GUY A, loves this wine and when he has a glass he absolutely loves it, cherishes it, and it is special to him. Now lets talk about GUY B, who has a lifetime supply of the same wine. He drinks a glass a day for a week. Soon he grows tired of it and it has lost its "specialness."

Now, I know not everyone can own 100 different cars but my point here is that you should take some time away from the car and find a new wine... I had a really good idea of what to say and now I am kinda lost (lol). There is a saying "Touching leads to kissing and kissing leads to sex. What fun is there if there's no mystery left?" Kinda corny but I hope this can change your perspective.

There's this thing that I'd like to call "new-model-syndrome." It's when you buy the latest model and a few years down the road the car manufacturer releases the updated model. In all honesty and I'm sure many will tell you...its really just the same **** with a higher price. Sure, maybe there's a slight difference and sometimes there will be a completely new model with a different chassis and engine. Like 7th generation civics --> 8th generation.

I guess what I'm just trying to say is... Cars are nice but its the drive that makes the car the most fun, imo. I hope this has helped some. I used to be nit-picky about the way my car was/is but for the most part it has lived up to my expectations of a low tier economic commuter but I do wish the seats were more ergonomic...

P.S. If you really wanna look cool get a sport bike. Bitches love sport bikes. Oh, and those 8th & 9th generation civics they are jealous of the 10th & 11th and so on...
