Do they accept your car even if you had modifications on it?

How did you do this in the first place?? Grind a gear, or perhaps chip or break one of the teeth?

It's Brad...you poser! Mine broke first...jerk.[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] I really think somethings wrong with our civics. And the both broke relatively the same time. But you just have to let it "break" in a little bit, it still won't be as fast as it used to be, but hey- it's better than not being able to drive[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG] What did the dealership say to you? They told us it was because we would "put it into reverse before the car was COMPLETELY stopped" [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG] they don't know anything. see ya later.

Hondas don't have bad trannies in general. In fact, they are quite good. They just aren't the smoothest and quietest when it comes to autos.

If you are going through transmissions and gearboxes, it's not the product, it's the operator.

yeah i'm sure its the transmission when two civic transmissions break within 2 months of each other...and its a lot harder to grind the gears when you have an automatic, true-its possible, but hard.

To answer your question asdfasdf yes they do take back your Honda when its "sick" even if it has been modded, i'm sure they will as long as you don't have an engine swap; they'd be glad to fix your baby up. They fixed mine and my friends tranny and we both have mods.
