It feels like it's trying to lock up but it won't. I was driving around 115mph and I heard a snap and the car stumbled. Shortly after I loss all power going up hills and everywhere else. Got p0700 and p0740 and p1399 (tranny control, torque converter lock solenoid, and random misfire). Is this the end of my transmission.....has anyone ever had this happen to them.......I think it was caused by a unhooked iacv or vtec solenoid. Can a low idle or bad torque converter clutch be causing a misfire?

*On a positive note I just got a y7 w/40k and a manual trans for $300 so goodbye automatic and hello five speed!

make sure that cable running from the trans to the throttle body also known as a detent/kickdown cable didnt break...... i had mine break and wouldnt let the trans shhift without slipping

Because I dont know of any cables other than the throttle one.

And I want you off my ******* roads, but unfortunately that's not gonna happen.

So you'll probably die like the rest of the ricers that do 110+ in their stock *** civics.

Thats not even funny.
Your 24 years of age, and pushing a 4-speed automatic civic to 115mph.
Thats something only a stupid highschooler would attempt.
You broke your trans being extremely reckless, good going.
Grow up and learn to drive like an adult.

To all you haters out there go tighten your training wheels. For your information I almost got killed by an old lady who hit me and sent me flying through the air you know what she said "sometimes my knee gives out." WTF I would NEVER put anyones life at risk!

Doing 115 on public roads puts other drivers (and your own) lives at risk.

mattsthru

I personally post and review on this website for my passion of cars I am profoundly fascinated by the potential and performance of my car and any car in general now just because I was going 115mph with an automatic doesn't mean I was not in control of my vehicle and putting peoples life at risk anymore than someone going 5mph over the speed limit or someone thats had one too many or can't see too good or their knee gives out from time to time. I mean c'mon what are you guys HT's very own Safety Patrol telling people what's right and wrong. It is you that should grow up and FYI we don't have a track anywhere on this island for me to take it to so just keep praying that you don't encounter a 4 speeder like me going 115mph.

BULLSHIT

you have no control over your environment and other drivers when you go that fast. you are endangering everyones lives driving like that on the street

my friend died last week because he was doing exactly what you were doing. going fast in an area he thought he was safe.

grow the expletive up and go to the track if you want to go fast. dont be a ******* idiot. since you dont have a track just dont drive like a TARD. its that simple. if you cant stand it, MOVE.

p.s. torque converters always slip when you arent at a cruise speed on the freeway. you broke something when you were driving like a dumbass. start troubleshooting 1 problem at a time. start with the misfire.

You truly are a fool.
Your about as dull as they come.
Make you a grownup? Regardless of transmission, your a reckless driver for doing that speed on a public road, and even more of a fool to post it up and wonder as to why you think you broke something.

That's your punishment for going 115 mph. A broken tranny. Next time, it'll be your life and possibly someone elses.

Are you kidding me? So the guy who's going 70 on the Parkway is threatening my life just as much as the ******* blasting down the road at 115?

That's a terrible excuse.

i hate these type of posts.

there are roads where i live where you could just lay down and take a nap in the middle of the street and a car may not come all friggin day.

at most the only thing at risk is animals, I've sacrificed many a bird/squirrel to the god of speed.

It's the only good thing about living here.

Damn, i don't even think that my DD automatic civic is capable of 115 miles per hour. But seriously, fix the problem, tone it down a bit, b/c cops down here are finiky enough to pull a modified honda over already. No track sucks i know. But don't give the cops another reason to start pulling us over. I'm not saying that its all your fault (lol) i'm just saying everytime someone dies b/c of street racing down here, the whole community feels the wrath from the local Johnny. Instead, what i'd do is focus some energy into writing some letters to your local rep to try and build the track. I know its old news to everyone already and the fight was lost to keep the track, but if we as a racing community, domestic and import alike, give up, then why would the legislature feel that we need a track? Keep trying and set a good example for some of these kids nowdays. Seems like everyday i see a kid in mom and dad's car with an exhaust racing around. Msg me if you really need help fixing your car. Shoots.

Do you understand the legal ramifications if you were to be found guilty of doing that on a public road?

Yeah, a car might not come all day. Or, a car might come and kill your sleeping ***.

You're saying that you condone the fact that he's driving 115mph on a public road?

I had friends with the same attitude as you. Note that I wrote "had" and not "have".
