So I am a college student and I've recently just purchased a 2007 Honda Civic LX. It's 100k miles, no accidents, single-owner. I noticed every 10-15 minutes between switching gears that the car would shutter briefly until I take my foot off the gas pedal. I took it to a local mechanic and he thought the problem would be fixed by replacing a solenoid on the transmission, but that didn't work. I was then told that the problem was that the transmission was getting low voltage. I can't afford a new transmission, any thoughts?
Just baby it then those transmissions just wear out like that you should tell you the truth that you should just drive it as long as it goes then when it stops going you decide junk the car or fix the transmission or put a used one in

Thanks scotty!!
Apparently, the first owner beat the heck out of the car. This is not the first time that I see one owner cars are not very good cars to buy. Unfortunately, 1 owner cars are very popular and people do not pay attention enough to other details. This is another example which shows you should check the car with a trustworthy mechanic before buying it.
@yaser
The guy I bought it from had all of the service records, he always serviced the car when it needed it and it was only taken to Honda Dealerships. I hate to think the guy beat the heck out of the car but you may be right.
