the problem isnt the transmissions, its the clutches. the majority of most of the hondas are manual transmissions. wich means that there clutches get worn out quicker. reasons like people just leave there foot on the clutch when they drive. people drive these cars like they are all racers. high mileage can also play a factor. if your loking to buy a honda then you should be fine. there parts are cheap and they are easier to work on. just take care of your car and if you want to drive it like a race car then put the correct performance parts in. or youll just have another car with a worn out clutch. hoped i helped
