    My car (Honda Civic 97 EX) has a mileage of 92000 miles.
    Yesterday, while I was driving, it suddenly jerked and would not move
    forward(as if it was in neutral), but it goes fine in reverse. The
    local auto mechanic says it is a transmission failure and he will
    charge $2500 for the replacement. He then suggested I could simply pay
    him 500 bucks and leave the car behind.

    Has anybody seen a similar problem? The reason for my concern is: can
    it be a transmission failure if the car is moving fine in reverse? Any
    information related to this is welcome.

    Thanks
    SM
