Hello Honda people, I am a VW guy but just looked at a 90 Civic dx today with a 4 speed auto. The car is pretty clean and cheap and I need a car like that! Here is my problem, the tranny whines and shifts or should I say slips into second at high rpm and then just slips until you stop the car and turn the key off and then on and then it will kick in again and if you don't stop it will go ok. It has 134,000 miles on it and the guy wants $500 which is all I really have, is this an easy fix or do I need a tranny????

I did some research on line and it seems like the cars had a tranny weekness??

Thanks guys!!!!

 

well the price is ok , u can change the tranny to a 5 speed and ur good 2 go

 

ya change it to a 5 spd...autos suck... u ridin gti or vr6 usually?

 

Right now building a 2 liter jetta, here is where it's at now.

So I guess I shouldn't buy this car?????

 

well what does it look like... Clean? if so i say just get it, get a new tranny and sell it and make money off it. parts for d15 are hella cheap... i bought my dx really clean for 500 with a blown motor and bought a motor for $20!!

 

nice! i got a 2.0 in my hatch as well its a cr-v motor
