Talking Final Say on Transmission and SC

Just wanted to let everyone know that your tranny blowing up had nothing to do with how you drive or how you mod. I got sick of defending the ideas of supercharging or other mods from people making jokes about how Id be walking or need a tow truck because our tranny couldn't handle it. I couldn't understand why people equated HP with the tranny blowing? Well I said most cars that failed weren't modded and your tranny will fail whether you drive like Grandma or Mario Andretti and still you hated. Well read this and bite me


Honda redesigned some parts inside and are using them in the newer tranny swaps but now they went a step forward.

Well Good work everyone because the forum complaining got their attention! "We wanted to make sure our customers still believe in Honda, and we didn't want them to have any lingering doubts about our quality," says Kurt Antonius, a Honda spokesman.

The moves came after angry owners swamped online forums and appealed to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for a safety recall because of a transmission that could slip out of gear, not go into gear, abruptly downshift or refuse to shift.

I just wanted to point out that it wasn't Eric but Kathy Lammens who initiated the talks with the LA Times, this is what John told me, was that she contacted him regarding her issue.

I just didn't want due right to be forgotten
