The older Honda has a very firm slam shift between gear for both efficiency and durability reason. I think their reliability went down after they move to a softer shift due to customer preference, and start putting more torque and HP in their engine without upgrading the tranny.
Basically anything before 97 should be very reliable, to a point of indestructible.
