Car Forum / Honda Cars / December 2005honda transmission
My 2001 honda civic ex was having problems with the transmission. Turns out there was no fluid in the car and the gears were slipping. As I stopped it started to knock. What is the general price that includes labor and (possible new transmission)parts for the car? > My 2001 honda civic ex was having problems with the transmission.

What is the general price that includes > labor and (possible new transmission)parts for the car? -------------------------- Way too little info provided. Please answer the 5-W's. The WHY has gotta be the best one in this case . . . What's the mileage, and please be sure to say whether it was the tranny (automatic?) that was out of fluid, or the engine, or both. Hmmmmmm. 'Curly' sorry about that. 106,000 miles at the time of the problem. had a major tune-up at 90,000 miles. All other fluids were normal. Maybe a leak, but don't know yet. Yes it is a automatic. just trying to see how much it will cost if I replace the tranny. > sorry about that. 106,000 miles at the time of the problem. had a major > tune-up at 90,000 miles.

It has to show up somewhere, unless you park it at a different spot every night. The difference between a FULL dipstick and an EMPTY dipstick is only about 1/2 quart, so you might not be in any trouble at all. Rather than looking at replacing it, why not get it properly diagnosed? Have you read the owner's manual about how to test the fluid level, and what to look for (smell, color)? Has anybody ever put fluid into it for you (ie: non-Honda)? Have you asked your Honda dealer to look at it yet? They have a scanner that can tell them if there's any serious tranny problems and they can do a proper drain-n-fill for you with Honda fluid. If somebody has put another brand of fluid in there, it usually shifts HARD, like the slam of a door. That fluid needs to be removed, by the way. Was it shifting hard before the mysterious 'problem'? What is the 'problem'? 'Curly' not shifting hard at all, just not going forward as if the gears were slipping. Only honda service at 90,000 miles. We are going to take it to a dealer on Monday. When I checked it there was no fluid at all. Put in 4 quarts and still kept slipping. Just wanted to see how much it will cost if worst comes to worst. > not shifting hard at all, just not going forward as if the gears were > slipping. Only honda service at 90,000 miles.

When you drain and refill the tranny (without removing the cooling lines) it only takes something like 2.5 quarts in the tranny.
