I bought my 2002 Honda Civic in 2004 from the original owner and it had about 55,000 miles. It now has 95,000 and the transmission has completely gone out. It will not go into any gear and left me stranded on the street needing a tow to get home. The first estimate for a replacement transmission was $2700. I may end up selling the car at a reduced price just to try and get rid of it. The car was regularly serviced and driven relatively low miles, as I live only 5 miles from my place of work. Until this problem, I had no issues with the car.

Transmission first started to shift hard, than car would remain at same speed without giving any gas and would not slow down when brakes were applied. Within the same week the transmission started slipping and on the way home from having the repair estimated the transmission completely went, almost causing a very serious accident as my car would not change into gear leaving me in the middle of oncoming traffic. Repairs were estimated at over $2,000 plus labor and no guarantees that another transmission for my vehicle would not have the same problems.
