I drive a 2003 Honda Civic which I got as a naija used in 2018. If I'm driving, I feel a kind of pull in the wheel, like something is dragging the car, although it happened so quickly. When it first happened, I thought it was my bad master brake which I was managing before due to finance issue.

Few days ago while returning from work, I was held in traffic. Cars were turning back to follow an alternative route, so i decided to follow suite. While turning, all of a sudden, reversing was so difficult, i had to throttle hard before i could reverse and turn the car successfully. Going further was difficult too, i hard pressed on the accelerator before i could get to my Mechanic's shop not far away. He called a gear specialist the following day who checked the car and claimed to have fixed something from under the gear. I asked him what it was, he said sensor and one other thing I can't remember. I changed the bad master brake and fuel pump same day.

While leaving the mechanic shop 2 days after, it was a smooth ride until I entered a small traffic. I felt the same symptom while I was trying to move in the traffic. I had to step on the throttle before I could climb a small hill and eventually came to a halt. After the engine cooled down, I drove it back to the mechanic shop, this time without issue. They checked again and concluded I either have to change the gear oil or fix the gear or even get new transmission. I managed it home from there.

Yesterday, i thought it would be wise to try to drive it again and see if it would be better. I drove more than 10km successfully until it happened again. This time it was worse. I was far from home so I turned back after the car cooled down. This time waiting for it to cool didn't matter, it came to a complete halt. I restarted several times but nothing changed. We had to push it to a safe place while I think on how to tow it back home.

Finance is low now, I'm not prepared for this at all. Can the gear be fix without changing it? I won't mind one or two tips from car experts here. Please help a brother, e no easy!

Fixing won't be good enough....but since u down financially, try your luck!!!

Is this a manual or auto transmission??
I once had a similar issue on a manual car. It required changing the gear box,the clutch plate and disc and the vehicle shaft.

Automatic

Got a new auto transmission in Ladipo for 70k. The car has been serving me well since then. Driving is smoother and faster.
