Can you be more _specific_ about what’s wrong? i.e., poor mpg, sloppy handling, bad brakes, hard starting, etc.? ---

> [@Ball\_itcher11](#): > > My car really sucks how do i fix this? Easy peasy, take the car to an independent mechanic, tell them the problems, get a quote and pay them to fix it. In some states you can get antique plates for this car. ---

You car is 24 years old. Might simply be time for a newer car. ---

My son had a 96 and when I started to get concerned about how we could peddle it, he got rear ended. Time to look for a new ride I think. ---

I call BS. The Acura Integra was considered a great car for most of its production run. In fact, the Integra was one of the most commonly stolen cars in the U.S. for a long time, because people wanted the superior engine, which could be installed into a Civic. ---

You ask a bare bones question with not one iota of information and expect a straight answer? First step. Raise car. Place jack stands underneath. Drop transmission… That should get the process going. With the transmission on the ground post back for further steps… My first car sucked also. I got rid of it… ---
