I have 350 miles on my CW 2018. Just picked it up last week and trying to get through The first 500 miles to get back for oil change.
Couple odd things:
1. Around 100 miles, I was getting a squeaks when in reverse and cutting the wheel left or right. That seems to have gone away.
2. Sometimes the transmission feels smoother than others and reverse doesn't exactly feel smooth getting into gear or when letting off the clutch to move in reverse.
3. 1st to 2nd gear and 4th to 5th gear are not consistently smooth and sometimes grind a little.
I'm driving through all this to see if it's just part of break-in. I have taken the car past 4200 rpm (99% of the time under 4000 rpm) and really been shifting smooth and getting up and down through gears.
I also saw a YouTube video of that Honda pro guy when he saw his car seat the factory on England and fresh off the assembly line the test drove it on the test track. Seems like the factory beats these things up a bit right out the gate for the first few miles. So it makes me wonder why the hell am I even trying to be so careful and break it in?
Doing it anyway but a little Leary on if it's necessary because I'm noticing the above weird shit anyway.
Never had this problem with my '01 Integra type r and it has about 90,000 original miles with only aem intake and Mugen exhaust...
Comments? suggestions? Other similar experiences?
