The transmission in our car has been slipping for the past few days, and I had an appointment scheduled for 3/2/07 with my local mechanic. I'm doing about 50 MPH, and listening to my favorite song 'Walking on Sunshine' by Katrina & the Waves.

I was heading home from work, and I was on the highway.

Sometimes things come around full circle and my dad (who is still kicking in his 90s) got a laugh out of this and said that maybe stuff from Japan is junk again. Honda's general lack of support for an issue that spanned years is hardly a good look for them. I had been considering buying a new Honda Civic for myself, but now I think I will look elsewhere. Now I'm going to list the van for sale as a parts vehicle and see if I can get a little back. Putting a new trans in would cost far more than the vehicle is worth.Īfter reading numerous websites describing what is an obvious disaster of a transmission, I wished I had done more research before buying this van. I find it hard to believe that doing maintenance was the cause, but what a lousy coincidence. Right after changing out the transmission fluid it started slipping badly and then just refused to move. We got this van for my niece to use and it seemed to hold up well. Considering that he was a Navy veteran and fought the Japanese in the South Pacific in WW2 that's high praise coming from him.

Thirty years ago they were good enough that pops quit using profane words to describe them. As time went on my dad would mention how much better Japanese cars were getting. When I was a kid stuff from Japan was considered crap (yeah, I'm pretty old).
