Transmission problem
2001 Honda Civic 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 118K miles
Difficult/rough shifting into all gears. Helps if I rest in neutral before going to the next gear. Has slipped out of 3rd, 4th, and 5th but that may have been because it didn't get all the way into gear with the difficulty in shifting. Had the transmission fluid changed today which barely helped the problem. Mechanic in St. Louis said he's never seen the problem and wants to attribute it to winter weather (car spent its first 3 years in Ohio and then 2 years in Philadelphia - the rest of the time it's been a similar climate as St. Louis). He wants to replace the cables. Another mechanic says just get a new transmission. Anyone seen a similar problem before?
