> There was a recall for 1995-1997 Accord V6s and 96-97 Accord I4s for any emission work until the car reaches 15 years old or 150K miles, Honda would cover any Emmision related problem. Honda of North American sent me a letter that I had lost, went on HT, and someone linked me to a site that had the PDf version which I printed out and brought in with me so I could get my repairs compd. Not sure if anything like that was available for the Civics, could call a dealer and ask if there is a TSB on it, doubt they will want to tell you yes there is even if they know there is though.

thanks for the heads up. I have been looking at a few places online with no luck.

check the transmission oil, if its low, fix the leaking seal(s). If everything else looks good, drain and refill with either Honda MTF or GM Syncromesh Friction Modified fluid. The GM syncromesh will make the trans feel like butter when shifting, but it also costs $12-$14 a quart, Honda MTF works very good also, but regular 10w30 motor oil makes honda trannys feel notchy after a while

Don’t ignore it. I learned the hard way a few years ago on my old Civic. The slave cylinder was leaking brake fluid underneath the carpeting and I did not even notice. I went up to the clubs in Canada and noticed that the stick was getting harder to put into gear. Luckily it didn’t get back until I was back home. I ended up having to replace the tranny, slave cylinder, and all that. Just make sure it’s not that cuz it sucks big time.
