ONE DAY MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAD SOME ISSUES SHIFTING GEARS AND THERE WAS A NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END WHEN STARTING THE CAR. AFTER THE CAR WAS WARM, IT DIDN'T SEEM TO BE AS BIG OF AN ISSUE. THIS HAPPENED FOR A FEW DAYS AND ONE DAY DRIVING HOME, IT JUST DIED. I HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP AND BEFORE THE MECHANIC TOOK A LOOK AT IT HE MENTIONED THE TORQUE CONVERTERS GOING BAD IN THE 2001 CIVICS. SAME IN MY CASE AND OIL LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION. ONLY A FEW PARTS WERE ABLE TO BE SAVED SO HE IS REBUILDING THE REST FOR $2300. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA BUT FROM WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID IT DOES NO GOOD. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THERE ARE SO MANY SIMILAR STORIES OUT THERE. CARCOMPLAINTS.COM IS LOADED WITH THEM. *TR
