Well, I finally gave up and took the 98 Mitsubishi Monterp Sport to a transmission shop. He hooked it up to his transmission scanner to read the codes beyond the P1600 and found that it was a fuse that had blown. He said it was probably from the previous owner removing the CD changer located in the back. Now it's working and shifting just fine. A simple fix. Check the fuses!

to fix transmission or get a new car by erinjennings

I have a 1996 Honda Civic with 122,000 miles. I had hoped to have it until 200,000 miles before I even considered getting another car, but today I had it towed to a Honda Dealer Shop with what appeared to be serious transmission issues that just popped up without warning.(a totally out of wack speedometer and a check engine light on)
 
I've always serviced the car (it's last transmission fluid change was at 95,000 miles).
Depending on what the mechanic tells me... should I get the transmission fixed and try to get another 80,000 miles out of it... or should I get another car.

So what is the serious transmission problem? Certainly not the out of wack speedometer and check engine light.
 
Different trains of thought on junk vs fix. Some say to not fix any more than the used car value for the vehicle.
 
On the other hand if you know the car is sound and has been well maintained, and this is the only problem, then you might want to invest in the fix. The fix cost is less than a new car payment.

i think kiawah is right. it *might* be as simple as a vehicle speed sensor (VSS) and not cost too much. you can google it. that does not telegraph future high-cost repairs IMHO.
 
i'd be trying to get another 80K out of it. i think those were good model year vehicles myself.

just heard from mechanic... he said I needed a new wire harness.. $220....
but the transmission scare made me look through my service records and I realized I was due for a transmission flush and a new timing belt anyway.
I plan on getting at least another 80,000 miles out of this honda.
thanks for your responses

Don't FLUSH it! Just change the fluid!
 
Those are rugged transmissions so I wouldn't worry.

Rebuilt 2000 Chevy Tracker Transmission performance question by dvoeltz

Hi all:
 
I just had the 5 speed manual tranny rebuilt by a local shop here in town due to bearing going bad. The mechanic purchased a kit that included all bearings and syncronizers. After reassembling the tranny, I now have a hard time getting it to shift into 1st gear and when I shift from 1st to 2nd, the gears will grind if I don't double clutch or shift fast.
 
My question, is this normal and once the tranny loosens up, things will be OK or did my mechanic reassemble it wrong? In order to get it into first without armstronging it in, I let out the clutch, push it back in, and it will then slip into gear. If I depress the clutch, wait a few seconds, then try to put it in gear, I almost have to force it into gear.
 
Suggestions??
 
Thanks much.

This isn't normal and it won't "loosen up"
 
The mechanic messed something up.
