Rep Power: 0 Take a little more time to discribe whats wrong and maybe someone can help you, also try to work a little on your spelling because it helps in trying to figure out whats wrong. But I take from your post that you had it towed to the Honda dealer so I guess its in good hands. Reply when the dealer has told you something.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 If you have a 5 spd, say good bye to your clutch plate......
If you have a automatic say good bye to either your fork our your tranny.
As you stated you pressed the gas at school, I'm assuming you had it in a gear?, and the car wouldn't go anywhere, that means there is a problem from either the engine to the transmission or the problem is in transmission, either way I hope it is under warranty if not, $$$

Rep Power: 0 I'm betting that it's his "driving habits" that have caused this problem. Don't see all that many automatic transmissions that go bad all on their own, Especially 1 thats only 3-4 years old at most.
If it IS your driving habits, your warranty isn't going to do you any good.

Rep Power: 0 Most of the time they will cover the tranny and if they see that its been used or abused a little they will warn you that doing whatever you are doing is not healthy and that they can not replace it again if it goes bad. Or at leas tthats what they did for a manual for a friend of mine who abused the f**k out of his 7th gen (along with taking the air filter off and opening the headers to make that nice disgusting sound[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG] )
The guy is an idiot
Anyways I would not worry about it too much but if you are neutral dropping the damn thing, my advice; dont.

all they have to look at is the gears. it doesnt take much of that fake-me-out shifting to put excessive wear on your gears.
