Hey guys I am thinking about buying a 2001 civic ex coupe from my friend because he got a 2007 civic si. I have heard all about the problems that people have had for the transmissions on 01 civics. The car is in excellent shape and has 101xxx miles on it. The transmission on it is being replaced with a completely new one. But my question is even though he is going to give me a good deal on the car should, would I be a fool to buy the car? Are the new transmission fixed from the defect that the old ones had? Or how long would it be before i would have that same problem again? Thanks in advance for opinion!!!

yeah if the trans is getting replaced, buy it. thats the main problem on 01-02 is trans failing. now did they put in another honda tranny or something different? cause then it will have the same problem later if you put the same 01-02 tranny back in.

Well I think they are putting a new honda tranny back in it. How long would it last before i would have the same problem again?
