so im looking to get this honda civic hx with a 180k on it but i heard they have tranny problems ??

is it true ? is there anything else i should know ?

 

Hmm...

I put 178,000 miles on a 2000 HX and never had a single problem with the tranny - always shifted like the day I bought it.

Then again, I ran Redline MT-90 tranny fluid from day one...

Anyway, there's nothing inherently evil about them AFAIK!

 

nice im not gonna be pushin it just doing daily driving till i can afford a swap

I know you won't believe this but...

I actually got 62 MPG on an HX - one time...

I got 50+ MPG probably 10 times...

On average, 44-48 MPG...

Lowest mileage I ever got was 38 MPG - one time - when I was burning in some pads.

Anyway, HX motors are basically DX blocks with a Star Trek head!

They got the biggest valves of any D-series motor, and a roller cam.

The tranny is what kills the performance NOT the engine!

Personally, I'd stick an EX tranny on it and call it a day...

Lates!
