My automatic 1996 Honda Civic EX stalled suddenly in the middle of the
street yesterday. The engine was fine, however the car no longer
continued to move after pressing the gas pedal. I could only hear the
engine rev, but no movement. I could also hear the car switching
gears, when I changed them. The check engine light came on. And the
"D" light blinks when I put the car in drive which is unusual.

*brief history*
Since I got my car in March '06-- it has had a slight jerk to it.
Whenever I accelerate from a full stop (turning corners, going uphill,
leaving stop signs), the car would always jerk and would often shake
so hard, it turned the windshield wipers on. While this was
embarassing, the car seemed to drive fine otherwise (no problems on
Hwys and after car had been driving for longer periods), so I avoided
getting it checked out until recently, since the shake could often be
lessened/avoided by pressing the gas pedal ever so gently.

Recently, I took it to a Honda dealer to have them look at it since
the problem seemed to be getting worse. First, they told me to get 3
new tires and an alignment, which I did. Then they told me that it
might be the clutch ($2000). They suggested changing the transmission
fluid twice first, to see if that might alleviate the problem. They
changed the fluid once (for a whopping $64). It drove a little better,
but then this happened 7 days later. I went to put more fluid in it
after it broke down, and I added some oil since that was low too.
Nothing is working. I don't know what's wrong with my car. Anyone had
this problem before or can offer any advice???? Thanks in advance. -
