fwiw, the head gasket is a common problem with civics of this vintage and a easy and pretty inexpensive repair (assuming there has been no major oveheating problem that can lead to a warped head which would need to be machined). the slipping automatic tranny could just be low on fluid, but is another pretty common fail of this model. the good news is that it can operate in this condition for a very long time before failing so there is no urgency in getting the repair, just an annoyance and inferior gas millage. unfortunately a new or rebuilt automatic is very expensive. one thing that many people with this problem do is retrofit the car with a manual which is a much less expensive alternative and far more reliable system. glwts.

converting to a stick is less $$ than a rebuild?:eek:

Actually converting is cheaper if you know a good place and can get a decent used trans.

Those little automatics are pretty dang expensive.

Buying a new car either tomorrow or monday. Getting a Hyundai Elantra so no worries about these cars getting fixed. Anyone interested?

'94 Capri.... wow

You might get more money hauling that old gal off to the scrap yard than you will selling it as a car.

Well it passed inspection and runs well just needs a mass air flow sensor, trans flush, brakes.

Looking to get rid of it for 500

Have to laugh. Went to that site for the hell of it, did a search for all cars - and it came back with 6.
