My 2002 honda civic that i purchased from the original owner as a commuter car two years ago suddenly had transmission failure. i have driven the car 30,000 miles over the past two years and have not had a problem. one day the car was placed in park while in a drive through with the engine running would not move when placed back into drive. none of the forward or reverse gears would move the car. i towed the car home and still looking for the fix. i thought the shift cable may have been the cause but that is not the problem as it is functioning at the shifter and at the transmission. not sure if a shift solenoid is bad or if the transmission is shot. no warning, no erratic shifting, and no burnt transmission fluid. very disappointed that this is a common problem with 02 civics and honda has turned i blind eye to a known problem.
