I've had my 00 CRV for over a year now, which I got from my mom. I've taken it off road countless times, handling the same stuff as a 4 inch superlifted with 35" tires 2500 dodge. So I know that my bad boy can hold its own against what some people may believe.
But I was finally hit with some bad luck.... I've known my tranny has been acting weird lately, slipping gears every ones in a while. While today I went to this offroad place my buddies go with their dodges, which I requested not to go because I have heard of this place before. We pull up to a mud water hole pass thing and my buddy goes through and then gets out and yells that he did it in two-wheel drive. I went on through, and as I expected it made it through. BUT I felt a thud square in the middle of the floor infront of that annoying folding tray table. I blew it off, figuring I just bottomed out. We kept on going, I got out of my car a few times because I was hearing a funny noise, but nothing looked or felt wrong. We got out onto the road, and I realized that my car wouldn't go past first gear! And my horn didn't work! I had to drive home 15+ miles going 5mph to tell my dad I blew the tranny. I just dropped it off, and they are going to look at it tomrrow. Before I dropped it off I pressed the horn and it had some life in it, I'm hopping that only water got into the case and that's whats causing the problem! Which is weird because I have driven through a 50yard 2foot deep puddle before and had no problem. I guess karma caught up to me...
But this cars can do some amazing stuff off-road, my car was staying with the 1500ram today and my tires are BALD! THis car is a true champ, but it has failed me today!
