if you have a 4th gen.. there is no way in heck you'll get something like that...

and the design from 97-99 did not change in 00-01.. honda described it as "bad materials".... honda autos never have been the best..

and gawd forbid someone doesn't get a 5spd...some people don't get 5spds b/c sport shift is fun and a lot of people live in the city and getting a 5spd is just annoying as hell in city traffic.. or there was no choice when you're buying used.. it's near impossible to find a wonderful 5th gen used.....

but jeff's dealership said they'd "take care of it" so he won't have to pay for the new tranny....
