My car only recently started to give me alot problems. Two weeks ago it just clunked out on me, It won't accelerate (does not go past 20), why is this???If it was a tranmission problem wouldn't it not accelerate at all? It doesn't make any knocking noises or anything, doesn't overheat either.....whatis the problem (2001,honda civic ex-automatic)
any suggestions, and the most important how much?

hmm...check for a slipping transmission, also check the transmission fluid level and condition. If the fluid gives off a burning odor, then the transmission has been slipping internally..

 

check the tranny fluid with it running! if its black and you had it changed all the friction material could of came out with the fluid. if its starting to turn dark then get it changed
