So I driving 15 miles/hour down my subdivision and my engine start to rev up like crazy for about 5 seconds. Then everything went to normal for about 10 seconds. My check engine like came on and my car start shutting down. I turned my car off and then turned back on 10 seconds later. It smelled like something burned... My car could only go 15 miles per hour, just enough for me to go back home. I called my buddy in vegas and told him what happened. He said right away"If you got '01 or '02 Honda Civic, you just burned your transmission, buddy". I was like wtf? Everything seemed normal and I was driving on my first gear. So I did a research and thats what I found:

So, Honda knew they fuged up but they do nothing to address the problem.

I guess I need a new car now.

That sucks. In the past Honda has been very proactive on transmission issues relating to 1999-2001 Odysseys, Pilots and Accords. Providing a 7 year, 100k warranty extension on their trannies. Ask GTG, she's had first hand experience with this problem and gotten the freebie tranny.

Civics have no where even close the same failure rate as the cars that got free extensions.

Sorry to say but these days getting "goodwill" consideration from Honda is a tough go. Corporate belt tightening translates to unless you are the original owner or have serviced your car as recommended at the dealer faithfully you're likely to get no help at all.

Trannies are expensive as hell to get repaired, a tech you trust and a junkyard trannie may be you're only reasonably cheap way to get rolling again.

when the transmission goes, it's time to get a new car.

it's this attitude that keeps the used car business going.

Transmission jobs are all labor, thus the expense.

Tranny went on my car 1.5 years ago, got one for $75 off ebay, took the better part of a day to install and it's still going strong.

ARSEN, if you can find a good ole boy who likes to work on cars try that route. it's worth a shot imo

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
