I fought Honda.. and I won.
 

Some of you may remember my car having a little Transmission trouble last year... Long story short about that, the Mounting point for the Clutch Slave Cylinder broke forcing the replacement of the Transmission housing... I went to honda for warrenty, and they told me flat out "they do not warrenty modified Cars" wich is contrary to the contract. Any way, I ended up going through the contracts Arbitration clause and stated my case. And Today, honda is sending me a check for $1960.20 (which was the cost of the repair).


This is what broke

yea someone else that stuck it to the man "Honda"

Great job dude! I'm glad you got your money back!

Very nice, props!

really!? i may have to contact you about that i just spent $1900 even on repairing mine. congrats on the check ive been fighting back in forth with honda for the past 2 months.

pimp that shit!!! GJ

Thats cool you got your money back! What mods did you have anyway?

Springs, shocks, anti-roll bar, Headder, Filter, cat back....

None of which has any thing to do with the Clutch, Transmission or more specificall the slave cylinder and its mounting point. :P


They even at one time Implyed that I was a street racer and thus had used the car out side of the mfg's recomended use, and any one who's been here loing enough knows my feelings about street racing...

thats whats up! glad you got your hard earned money back

How that happen???????

Probably a bad casting of the housing.. maybe an over torqued bolt on installation causing a crack... could have been alot of things.

Nice!! so wutz gonna be the next mod???

an Alignment and another set of Race tires... (maybe a nice set of 15X7" wheels). in reality, this is pretty much going in to saveings...:_please:

not that this has been established before, but wise man.

savings LOLZ! nah but congrats on getting your money bak

Ya its nice to have a two month "cushion" on my morgage... well almost two months

I remember this, what a whacky problem.
Glad that you finally got reimbursed, and I can't believe they even tried the racing argument against this.

I fought honda and I lost- went as far as going to onsumer protection agency( they ruled against me because they don't have mechanics that could tell wether or not the parts I installed caused the failure. SO I swapped the tranny out with a used 02. I could have taken it farther with the dmv and federal trade commission that have mechanics bu t they would have needed my car(my daily driver) and 3rd and 5th would pop out of gear constantly. Still have the same noise with the 02 tranny that I had with the 01 and 2nd pops out once in a while(i think the 01-02 trannys suck)Come spring Im saying goodbye to these problems and going with a k20a2 swap. They said the same thing about my car, that Im a racer and all this other bs. I would love to stick it to em now, what did you do to get this arbitration. I could use the money i spent on the tranny and swap(550) to add to my k-fund
