Every honda my family owned ( weve owned hondas/acuras even motorcycles, for many years my dad first car was a 83 civic hatch ) most of them had transmission issues some serious some not so serious. Even my friends with civics, preludes , tegs, 6thgens etc some had issues some didnt. If you change your trans oil often your good to go. Some dont act up till later ( my sisters TL has 160000km still nothing *knock on wood*), i know for a fact mine will act up, sometimes it grinds. Not saying all hondas are like that and im pretty sure the new ones are ok but the older ones are known to have trans issues.
