2001 Honda Civic EX 1.8 engine with 3 month old rebuilt 5 speed manual transmission is jumping out of 5th gear. Is it reparable? or will I have to purchase another transmission? Thanks....

Sure, it's repairable. The big question is "how much will it cost to repair"? You won't know that until you have it inspected by a trans specialist.

The mechanic has told me that it isn't repairable.... But then he asked me how much I would take for the car. Being a unmarried woman, I am getting the impression that I am being taken advantaged of.

FYI - I will be taking it to someone else... but I was hoping to get some insight so that I am not an easy target. Thanks

Anything is repairable. It's just a question of whether it's worth the expense. I would be very leery of someone that told you something wasn't worth fixing but tried to buy it themselves, especially being a civic. There is a big market for those with teenagers. I would go get a second opinion before doing anything.

Planning on calling around tomorrow to other shops. I am trying to get as much information as I can to be as smart as I can before I call. Thanks

If the transmission was just recently rebuilt, it can't need much. Why isn't the shop that rebuilt it the first time fixing this under warranty as they should be?

Purchased the rebuilt transmission from a 2nd market dealer and a local mechanic installed it.

I don't know what a 2nd market dealer is but anybody selling a rebuilt trans should be standing behind it. If not, I hope you have learned a lesson about making a deal like that. Trying to save that extra buck can end up costing you a lot more. Deal with local people that have good reputations.

You haven't told me anything that I don't already know. FYI - I will be talking with the 2nd market dealer (who is highly recommended in the Georgia area - that is not the issue) tomorrow. I believe that no one could have predicted that the rebuilt transmission would have only lasted a few months.

That's why parts and repair have warranties and yes, the failure can be predicted if the repairs are not performed properly.
