    On 89 automatic civic, Sometimes I tried to change the gear,
    I felt hot on the shifting gear bar. Seems like the transmission
    is hot. Is hot transmission normal or my trans is gone bad?

    I assume the "shifting gear bar" is the shift lever. The shift cable is
    not going to transfer any appreciable heat from the transmission to the
    shift lever. However, the hot exhaust runs under the floor pan just
    about where the shift lever is located. That could heat the lever. Is
    your floor warm also around that area? Also, it is perfectly normal for
    the transmission to get hot after driving for a while. Put your hand on
    the transmission housing, and you will feel pain.

    Yes the shifting gear bar with metal part is hot. Not reeally hot
    but it's hot. I did not check the floor pan where shift lever is
    located but I touched the front panel and it is hot too.
