I think I done did it now
Alright, here goes the story.
On Sat. after the IE meet(which was wack by the way), i noticed that my clutch pedal started to feel REAL funny. I had to push my foot almost all the way to the ground and hold it there for the gear to engage. I had a little drive left to go home so i just kept going and went home.
Bad mistake.
As I was aproaching my house, I hit the pedal down to shift, and my pedal got stuck!! I have a little tech knowedge, so i figured it was the hydraulic assit for the clutch (AEM intake owners know what i'm talking about).
Well, i popped the hood....and there i saw the most horrifiying thing in my life....the two bolts that hold it onto the tranny had busted off!!! it appears the one got loose(hence my clutch feeling different) and the other one....broke off with part of the bolt still in the tranny block.
This might sound foreign to some, but for the AEM intake owners, it is that clutch line that has 2 bolts that you have to unscrew in order to get the new braket in place.
MY QUESTION is......if I take my car to honda to get it fixed....will they say i VOIDED my warranty by putting in my intake?? or should i put my stock intake on and play it like it was done by itself??
HELP!!!!

hey which part broke off? I'm trying to picture what you're saying but I can't get a gist of what those two bolts on the clutch line are...
thats cuz I got an AEM replica.. and I'm too lazy to get call/email AEM and get the bracket from them... so I was thinking of letting the clutch line dangling around for the mean time... or is that a VERY bad idea?

Put the stock one back on. Just for the simple reason that the problem is in the same location as the intake. Don't give them anything to wonder about. If they can prove that the intake, or the installation of the intake caused it, you're screwed. Just put the stock one on to be safe.
