Howdy,
I've had several Hondas over the years but the one on the driveway now is an '05 Civic Hybrid. Actually two of them. The second one is to replace the first one that I'd replaced the IMA battery and the transmission four years ago. Car had 170k on it then and has 200 on it now. With a blown engine.

Yeah, I know, WTF? A Honda Civic with a blowed up engine? And my wife was driving it and not hard. Just got a rod knock and that was that. I looked into getting another engine but I found a car with a newer battery and a bad trans with only 120k on the chassis for 600 bucks.

At least I thought is was a bad trans because when I swapped the "good" trans in, it still does the same thing the "bad" one did: won't shift out of "first". My question is: Where is the Transmission Control Module located? I've got what is probably a good one and if that's the problem, then I've got a good second trans as well as a decent battery.

Thanks,
Mark
