Yesterday I went to the store and all was well, but on my way home the car wouldn't go kick into gear. There was no grinding of the transmission gears or any problems changing the gears, but it wouldn't go faster than 25-30 miles per hour once in gear, and before it would go, it sounded as if I had the car in neutral and was steping on the gas, and there was also a smell of burt plastic. So could it be my clutch (which feels fine), transmission (no grinding sounds), or the O2 sensor (whatever that does)? Or could it be something else. I have never had any problems with my car before this, and have always followed the maintanance schedule on it. I have a 96 4-door Accord LX 2.2 litre 5-speed.

I like my car very much, thank you. As for the expence, all cars are expensive to repair without regard to make and model, and some are more expensenive to fix than others, but I will repair what ever needs to be done.

I figured that was where the smell was coming from. I only brought up the O2 sensor because of the car not wanting to move. (we once had a Chrystler Le Barron that needed a new sensor and basically did the same thing, but without the smell) Thanks for your answer.

The burning smell is from your clutch heating up as it's slipping. It's not a bad fix. The O2 sensor doesn't have anything to do with the transmission.

Bad news. Hondas are ususally very expensive to fix. How much do you like your car?
