i've had to replace a transmission in a civic before. The salvage yards have tons of them and sling them around like candy. It took 3 tries before i got one that wasn't worn out--the salvage yard had no problem exchanging when i brought them back, probably sold them to the next sucker. The point is they have lots of them, don't know what they really have. If it looks the same and will bolt in then it "works". Repair shops don't fix them--they are too cheap and plentiful and easy to just swap out with salvage units.
