The Auto Trannies on the Civic are ated to handle 160 Horsepower. That will be with normal wear.. Can probably take 250hp or so.. but the tranny will burn out quicker.. (may only last 2-3 years) where as with 160hp or less it;s designed to operate and last for at least the 5 years that's it's earranteed for [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 I'm sure the tranny probably could withstand up to 400 horses.
And I would hope that the trans lasts longer than five years...My '89 Accord had 190,000 miles on it when I sold it, and the trans was barely just starting to go out. But these cars are well built, and the trannies can take a beating.
