Any word on that ship date? I'm glad to hear they're covering it without any hassle

I got my car back on 8/19/02. I also had the car inspected and the spark plug "product update" performed.

The work order said that there was a hole blown in the side of the differential assembly.

Everything seems to be fine, but I hear a slight clicking from the axles every now and then. I'll keep my ears on alert.

Seems like a good time to purchase the extended warranty (7 yr/100,00 miles)!

So is Honda paying for most of these broken diffs. It sounds like it must be a very big problem if they are backordered. I worry about mine all of the time.

The car stayed at a body shop for about a week
are you sure the guys at the body shop didn't take your car for a "ride" while it was there?

Looks like I'm the only one that Honda doesn't want to help out.

Even though it clearly wasn't my fault.

well, i thought it may have been my bald/cupping/unevenly worn tires on my Motegi rims making that whurring noise, but after replacing them with the stock wheels again, it was still there, and the tech who went for a ride with me said its definitely something in the drivetrain....dropping the car off monday to get looked at, and they said they wanted to have it fixed by the end of the week! Yea right......Well, heres another diff for the record.....most likely.....or maybe a tranny.....or both!

I think my diff is going....60,000 miles and an autocross season.



Anyone know what these things run??? No warranty, I have to pay for this one.

about $3300.00....not cheap by any means! (this was from my dealer here in WI, i dont know the break down for that though...)

if you go to this site and price it out it comes to.....$4446.97 including all misc parts such as spacers, bolts, gaskets etc....
Diff. Major Parts...
Case Assy. = $137.31

Carrier Assy. R&R Diff. = $2332.28

Gear Set, Final = $453.31

Shim Set (27 pieces) = $130.49

Diff Assembly = $668.36

Carrier Assy, Diff = $263.53

TOTAL MAJOR PARTS = $3985.28

REMAINIG MISC PARTS = $461.69

GRNAD TOTAL (COST) = $4446.97

Keep in mind, their site has 2 sets of prices....list, and their cost....the prices i quoted are their cost....which is cheaper.

List cost would be...

TOTAL MAJOR PARTS = $5313.77

REMAINING MISC PARTS = $634.42

GRAND TOTAL (LIST) = $5948.19

Hope this helps.....
