What Will Happen When Our Transmission Finally Goes

Posted in Internal Engine Parts | Asked on Jan 28, 2012

We’ve decided not to put any more money into our 94 Honda civic – we’ve had her for less than one year! She has over 98,000 miles and had a bad overheating experience last year (completely our fault – it was our first car!). We’ve been told by two mechanics that the transmission is going. The shifting has been rough. We will keep her until she goes but I’m scared that if she breaks down it could be dangerous (fire?? stalling??). What usually happens when a transmission finally dies?

    I had one go out before and it is simple you will not be rolling down that highway anymore. Nothing happened when it went out it just stopped.

    All you will hear is grinding noise’s and a loud bang and then you be rolling down the road. There will be no fire and it might stall.
