Man ... you love your car. I'm barely over 60,000miles and I have felt at 30mph, it shift down (on its own) from 3rd on a handful of occasions. Has me wondering if this originally tranny will last 100,000 miles or how long do I want to keep the car beyond 100,000miles. I wanted to keep this car 10 years before trading it in for a family hauler (CR-V, Rav4, Mazda5, maybe?) 'cause that's the next logical step for my GF. (I'm getting a 2nd gen G35c when it comes out ... )

alright question for you fsttyms1: Do you use your SS mode often? Also, do you drive spiritedly often?
Cuz I destroyed my tranny in my 97 Prelude due to overuse of the SS mode.

Once and awhile. SS is for teh most part usless. I do drive hard. SS mode has nothing to do with the failures on our cars. Many people who have never used SS mode have had their trannies die. Its just a internal design problem with the 3rd gear clutchpacks and cooling

But I agree.. SS is totally useless.

Once replaced after 100k miles, the replacement has a 12month/12000 mile warranty.

Well looks like ill be doing the 6 speed conversion.
Talked to teh tranny place, doesnt sound like its the 3rd gear problem, but for how much they want to tear it down to clean out and fix, i could buy a used CL-S 6 speed.
Time to start shoppin
