5th and Reverse Gone!

I knew it was gonna happen but damn. 82k miles and I can't even put it in reverse or 5th.
5th gear was popping out now and then and theres been a semi grinding noise comming from the tranny since about 35k. I need to get it fixed ASAP, but getting it rebuilt is gonna cost around 1200 and I don't have anywhere near that kinda cash. Does anybody have any #'s or web sites where I might be able to find a tranny? I'm in southern california if that helps.

Having it rebuilt is probably your best bet unless you can find one from a wrecking yard in trustworthy condition. I'm guessing your going to have a hard time finding one thats already rebuilt/reman'ed sitting on a shelf since its a fairly new tranny. Sometimes you can buy one thats been imported from Japan. I did a google search on 'jdm used transmissions' and found a few places, try it. One place was here: http://www.cherry-auto.com/. I've never dealt with them so I cant recommend anything..

BTW, I've heard that this type of problem can sometimes be related to a linkage problem and not internally inside the tranny... dunno.

Try searching http://car-part.com/ for the part(s) you need.

I saw a EX 5MT for $900 on there.

that sucks. I have 65k on my 2k1 ex. What type of driving do you do? City Highway? Any mods to the transmission at all?

Sorry to hear about the situation your in. Since your car is fairly new the odds of finding a used/rebuilt tranny are kind of low. I would definately check with wrecking yards though to find out if they have any good transmissions from damaged 2001+ Civics.

Make sure you choose a reputable shop if you do decide to have your tranny rebuilt. Getting a rebuilt tranny by a shop that does poor work will leave you in the same situation your in right now...I know this from experience.
Good luck.
