Interesting tidbit for '92 Civics:

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: - 94V063000

Component: - POWER TRAIN:TRANSMISSION:AUTOMATIC

Manufacturer:
AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.

Year:
1992

Make:
HONDA


Model:
CIVIC

Potential Number of Units Affected:
191289

Manufactured From
03/01/1992

Manufactured To
09/01/1993

Year of Recall:


Type of Report:
Vehicle

Defective Summary:
A RETAINING CLIP THAT CONNECTS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE TO THE SHIFT LEVER ACTUATING ROD CAN HAVE INSUFFICIENT RETENTION PRESSURE AND MAY EVENTUALLY COME OFF AFTER REPEATED SHIFT LEVER OPERATION. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE POSITION OF THE SHIFT LEVER MAY NOT MATCH THE ACTUAL TRANSMISSION GEAR POSITION.

Conequence Defect:
THIS COULD RESULT IN UNANTICIPATED VEHICLE MOVEMENT AND ACCIDENT.

Corrective Summary:
DEALERS WILL INSTALL AN IMPROVED RETAINING CLIP.

I actually suffered from this problem on my auto tranny right before the swap. Oh well, not that it matters anymore.
