I bought an old 96 Honda Civic from a friend and it's been sitting for while. It's been started every month or two. He told me it runs and drives but overheats and he can't find out why. I've changed the thermostat and the radiator and after the car warms up for a bit it still overheats and coolant even boils in the overflow tank. Also white smoke comes from the exhaust manifold area.
So today my car was pretty normal and everything was perfect in the morning once I drove it back home.
In the afternoon I left to go to a friends place not that far from me and stayed for a couple of hours once I drove back out to my house the car just suddenly revved up and my acceleration was decreasing so I pulled over to the side an had a family member tow me.
So my guess is that the transmission is finally done. Is this worth fixing? I know Honda civic parts are dirt cheap but what about the transmission? Also I was wondering if I could put a JDM transmission from in my car would it work? Here is the link: https://www.ebay.com/...3104309857

The clutch feels backwards now, won't switch gears unless the car is off and the pedal is all the way up. When you start it in gear it will not come out of said gear unless you turn the car off. The clutch pedal will get stuck down and the car will roll in whatever gear you put it in, when putting the clutch pedal down is supposed to release the clutch… It does not
I have a 99 Honda Civic LX with over 200k miles. A few months ago I had new spark plugs and wires installed, and even more recently a new distributor cap. Currently the engine misfires a little on startup before it levels out and runs smoothly. After driving for a few minutes it will start to mildly misfire while idling, and worsens when I accelerate. Other times it is fine until I hit 50-55mph, at which point it strongly misfires. Revving the engine will make the misfiring stop until it downshifts. I tried some fuel injector cleaner with no luck. I'm leaning towards the igniter but would like to hear your opinions.

I heard on TV once a report that Barack Obama told Honda they had to build better cars because the quality was just too cheap. Better or they would not be allowed to sell here in the US. Or maybe I heard wrong and he said they had to get better gas mileage. But I think it was about cheap quality and ripping people off. The reason I ask is because when he said this I went outside and took a look at my moms brand new Honda civic and the quality in fact did look cheap, the inside especially, it looked like flimsy recycled plastic.
The Honda Civic GX was sold to the public in certain states up to 2011. I'm not sure what year it began, but it covered some 3 generations of Honda Civics. I'm just not sure which one is the best? Seems like the first one had a 4 speed automatic, the second a CVT and the third a 5 speed automatic. I'm not sure which Hondas are better. Do you?
