So I driving 15 miles/hour down my subdivision and my engine start to rev up like crazy for about 5 seconds. Then everything went to normal for about 10 seconds. My check engine like came on and my car start shutting down. I turned my car off and then turned back on 10 seconds later. It smelled like something burned... My car could only go 15 miles per hour, just enough for me to go back home. I called my buddy in vegas and told him what happened. He said right away"If you got '01 or '02 Honda Civic, you just burned your transmission, buddy". I was like wtf? Everything seemed normal and I was driving on my first gear. So I did a research and thats what I found:

So, Honda knew they fuged up but they do nothing to address the problem.

I guess I need a new car now.

That sucks. In the past Honda has been very proactive on transmission issues relating to 1999-2001 Odysseys, Pilots and Accords. Providing a 7 year, 100k warranty extension on their trannies. Ask GTG, she's had first hand experience with this problem and gotten the freebie tranny.

Civics have no where even close the same failure rate as the cars that got free extensions.

Sorry to say but these days getting "goodwill" consideration from Honda is a tough go. Corporate belt tightening translates to unless you are the original owner or have serviced your car as recommended at the dealer faithfully you're likely to get no help at all.

Trannies are expensive as hell to get repaired, a tech you trust and a junkyard trannie may be you're only reasonably cheap way to get rolling again.

when the transmission goes, it's time to get a new car.

it's this attitude that keeps the used car business going.

Transmission jobs are all labor, thus the expense.

Tranny went on my car 1.5 years ago, got one for $75 off ebay, took the better part of a day to install and it's still going strong.

ARSEN, if you can find a good ole boy who likes to work on cars try that route. it's worth a shot imo

      Packers game predictions

      Although, I will admit there is a big caveat to this game. Packers coming off an emotionally big game against Rodgers on the road in Primetime and a MNF matchup with the Eagles the following week, it is a prime opportunity for a let down game with them looking ahead. Which if it's the case, I think we still lose, but only something like 24-21.

      We lose in a non competitive game 38-20. Bryce doesn't look much better than Dalton did and all the people this week saying "see we told you he's great, look how bad this team is without Bryce" blame it on the OL injuries and/or his ankle and already start laying the groundwork for that being why he is still one of the worst starting QB's the rest of the season and why he deserves another year, if not even an outright extension. And no, that's not what I'm rooting for, just what I objectively think will happen, just as I've been saying for a month would happen once we got past the cupcake portion of the schedule.

      Miami will be their first real test. Even a close loss and I would be content with that at this point. Brandon Miller is probably gonna be out a few weeks with a partial shoulder dislocation. With that being said, the rookies are really impressing me.
