Tranny is probably bad, HX trannys were notorious for going bad. You can either try to find another one (they're rare and expensive, they aren't a regular automatic like the rest of the civics, they're a CVT) or you can swap in a 5 speed.

Hey man just saw you post...

I'm in the same boat as you...I just bought an HX as well and the tranny took a poop. I'm going for the 5 spd swap, but still got a lot to learn before I do it. If you find anything useful on doing the swap please post it on my thread or pm me. I'll do the same if you need help with anything.
