Transmission gone...or is it?

Let me start off. I have a 2000 honda civic lx automatic transmission.93000 miles Nothing special haven't done anything to it, I just bought it a week ago for 1k$. (started off on body work because I was lazy and had materials at hand)

On the way home, CEL came on- whatever.

Took it code the code read one for the cat converter(whatever), other P0501---vehicle speed sensor??

Anyways drove it for a week, after work stopped at a light it was like I had put the car in neutral. Put in reverse- NADA put in drive- NADA RPMS go up like im in neutral and revving but my POS doesnt move.]



Takes POS to local mechanic(whatever) he looks at it for like 10 minutes and says the transmission is bad and its going to cost me over 1k and is not worth it to fix- might as well junk my POS]



WHATEVER



I am not one to just assume what people tell me is the truth, everybody is a liar.J,S]



So My question is, would it be (in any way) possible that a bad VSS could be my issue, not that my "transmission pooped out on me"



My fluid looked fine before I took it in, wasnt low or anything, it was shifting normally before it shat on me at a light. Just give me honest opinions- humor me because i am taking it to get a second opinion Monday, and I like to fix cars so Look forward to seeing my POS a lot on this forum- because it isn't going anywhere..bad tranny or not.

I see this was never answered... did you ever get this resolved? I don't think the VSS would cause it to not move. I had a manual with a dead VSS and it moved still. I assume auto is the same way. [MENTION=134472]larudy[/MENTION]
