So I have a 7th gen white vic, but the tranny took a shiznit at 67k miles (typical from what i hear) and ended up getting a 95 vic (which im much more happier with ). I invested 60 bucks and had my friend do a "trick" to the tranny and ended up fixing it (running like new!), hence saved $$$ not having it rebuilt. My question to you guys is: would you sell it or keep it? I mean I love the car, but damn too many problems (i.e. starter replaced at 30k miles, alt replaced at 61k miles). THanx guys!

haha no, i still have my original tranny. i invested 60 bucks for 7 quarts of honda ATF and 2 3-foot long plastic tubings. not saying it will work for everyone w/ tranny problems (esp. since there are ppl who drive the shiznit outta their cars even w/ a bad tranny on this site). and as i was browsing thru this site, ive been reading something along the lines of a "bad clutch pack carrier"? anywayz, but yeah my tranny is fine now. i'll post up the details of what my friend did later, if necessary.

and yeah, what would u guys do: sell or keep the car?

sell and use the money for the 95

Keep it! An older car will give you more problems

it's a honda. besides that car only has 110k miles on it. did some minor work on it (i.e. replaced radiator, distributor).

not to sound biased, but i think the 5th gens were the most reliable vics built.

i think older hondas are a lot more reliable than newer hondas

Well I know my car is still really new but I have an 04 ex coupe and its got
about 42k on it now and Ive had no problems. Just regular maintenance like
tires, and break pads. Maybe you just dont know how to drive and maintain a
car in good condition

^^^Hey have you changed your tranny fluid yet? I'm thinking about getting that done b/c i'm close to 40k miles on my 04'

touche...totally agree

first of all, what the HELL are u doin' w/ 42k miles on an 04? and second, i guess there's a bunch of ppl on this site that dont kno how to drive/maintain a car in good condition since alotta ppl have problems with their cars, namely their tranny. and if i did "regular maintainence" like tires and brake pads, i take it my tranny would have been okay? yeah kudos to you.
