I drive a '99 Civic Si. B16A2
So I need some tranny work or a new transmission now.

My transmission isn't smooth. I've driven other manual cars and they are smoother than mine. Mine isn't horrible, but you need to shift damn perfect to keep a smooth ride.
It also makes a noise when the clutch is pressed. A mechanic said I have a couple years left on it if I take care of it.
When I'm driving and I downshift to 2nd gear, it sometimes pauses and then jerks into gear(at lowish RPMs)
Or when I'm in first gear, lets say in a parking lot, it sometimes jerks when I give it gas(from coasting in first). It's not "smooth" at all.

Do you guys think I need to buy a whole 'nother tranny or just a rebuild? How much would both cost and which would you do?

 

Cheaper to rebuild than buying a new trans, cheaper to buy a used trans. Much higher risk buying a used trans as it could have worse problems than yours currently.

 

ahhhh, I don't know what to do. What would you guys do? Rebuild? The car has 134xxx miles. The 1st or second owner was a high schooler.

 

I would rebuild unless you have money to blow, then just buy new from Honda.

 

Idk if I should rebuild or just sell the car...I'm leaving to college in september, won't need a car for a couple of years...

decisions...decisions...
