take it up to over 4000rpm in 3rd and let it decell.

listen for a loud buzzing from teh transmission.

that would be the clutch buzz. there is a TSB for it, try and get it in writing that they will cover it before u buy the car. IF its out of warranty

Nope....They offered to pay for the part and then I would have to pay for the labor since my car was out of factory warranty. I think the whole thing is dumb. It doesn't hurt the car people say, so i think im going to wait for the clutch to go out and then get it all fixed. I hope when I get an exhuast you won't be able to tell.

when i get the buzz fixed I hope I can just change everything there to make it a stronger clutch.

What all do you need to change to make it a stronger clutch so that when or if you do decide to drop it at 6500 RPM it does catch and your not still at the stop light looking like an idiot????????? also does anyone know what to change in the rear to make it stronger as well, so it doesn't brake as easy if you take it to the drag strip?

for the clutch, numerous people on the board have suggested using the OEM clutch but upgrading the pressure plate. as far as making the rear end stronger, look into the comptech reinforced differential housing.

And then they say they want to make a goodwill claim for you thru American Honda and make 2x the money. American Honda pays them, and they get your money too.
