Really not sure how I did this but Check out what I did to the Transmission in my Si... Car is only 8 months old.

My Service Manager is really cool and got it replaced under warranty.

HOLY SHIT! Maybe theres a TSB out on it??? My dad has one of these... waiting to see if same thing happens...he's running NOS and other shit... we'll see i guess... glad to see you got it back on the road for free :D

Oh damn, that must have made some noise. I hear of a lot of people throwing the transmission into reverse instead of 6TH. There is suppose to be a lockout, but the k series dont have one :dunno: .

[Hazwan]

What exactly happen?

[ChaseR]

No I didnt throw it into reverse.. I thought it was a halfshaft because it started clicking like one, then it got louder and then just sounded like metal tearing apart.

I hope this doesn't mean Honda's Manual Tranny's are going to hell :O

Wow..
Great that you have a cool service dept.

[MessyHonda]

outch that sucks. hope you got your car on the road fast.

dude what exactly wore down there maybe if you know what exactly broke you might know what gear it was. Thank god for warranties cause that would have been a pretty penny.

The final drive came apart and broke the adjacent gear.

holy damn

[2oodoor]

tell them the car has never been abused or raced, never missed a gear, never warmed the tires up to make it stick to launch a holeshot, never once ground on reverse.. tell them tell them...:bowrofl:
it just broke-ded all for no reason

just messing with ya... hope they put it all back together right including fasteners around the tranny that have to be moved.

if it has tits or wheels it is eventually going to give trouble

they fixed it cost Honda $4,200 to replace it..

damn, it'd be cheaper buying a mildly used tranny for sure. you could get a whole second engine with that money...

Didn't want a used one, they picked up the tab so It isn't even a thing for Me.

yeah good thing you bought the car new...and they have warranty.

[ChaseR]

I do have another K Series 6 Spd Transmission right now but I didn't tell them that.

lol, that's beyond the point anyway if it's covered under warranty.

[Blkblurr]

Too many 8 grand dumps I bet.

[DDRaptor]

i wish the interior of a 3gees tranny looked that clean :lol:

[ChaseR]

man the car drives so much nicer now with a new tranny.. I think it had been going for ahwhile because now it accelerates quicker, is more responsive and just feels more crisp.. Also my third gear is not as notchy and goes right in!
