The problem you describe is a common one for Honda users. The bushing in
the shifter linkage is directly over the catalytic converter...The heat/cold
/heat/cold cycle takes it's toll more quickly where there is a greater variance
in temperatures. On my '81 Civic GL I got 14,000 miles before it went. It
is a dealer replacable item and costs about $35 with labor to perform (1981
prices).
