very true. But I guess like any manufacturer they can have some issues. There’s a thread on here from a year or two ago I think with someone else having the same issue. I’m just glad that they covered it under warranty.

If you’re worried about your car being on an angle when it’s up on the ramps, you can always jack up the back end of the car under the jack point while the front wheels are on the ramps but be very careful. Make sure that your car doesn’t roll and when you jack up your car, chock the front...

Me too, been working remotely since March 2020. My 2019 has 11,600 miles. My transmission was replaced last November due to a cracked case leaking oil so the transmission only has like maybe 500 miles on it.

Plugged a screw in a snow tire. I know a lot of times people will patch the tires from the inside but that would require me sending it out and the tire plug is something I can do in my driveway. Also, given the vicinity of where the screw went in, there’s a good chance that they would tell me I...

I think I’ve only seen one FL5 on the road and for me, it’s hard to tell a Type R from a regular civic with a wing on the back unless I see the exhaust for the 11 GEN civic. Maybe because I haven’t seen enough pictures. The 10 GEN civic was easier to tell the difference from a non-Type R civic.

Great progress! Thanks for the updates!

Great job! Would be great if the tranny is good and you just have to replace the clutch assembly! :thumbsup:

Decades ago I did 130mph in my 1990 Acura Integra GS because a car magazine said the top speed was 129mph. In my CTR 120mph, nice and smooth. The most fun: At a BMW event several years ago I took out a 2020 BMW X6 V8 onto the highway and in the left lane was a Challenger so I pulled up next to...

Dunno if you might have the raise the front end more but either way make sure to chock the rear tires so the car doesn’t move backward. I’m sure you have the parking brake on. You might have to do some wiggling of stuff to pull the tranny/axles and want to make sure the car is securely raised.

Nice! I really like how you have the lights on the transmitter and that remote start is awesome! I have like three of those trucks because when I was into them they were cheap. The ones that I got were like $40-$60. Got them like maybe 15 years ago or so and rebuilt the engine and stuff because...

Yeah cool! Post some pics! I actually forgot about this thread!

That’s a really nice video! At 5:03 it shows the shift levers. As someone mentioned before, see if the shifter moving these levers. If they are moving then drop the tranny. MoodySara mentioned about splines on the clutch missing which is a possibility too. Keep us updated!

I don’t have a good way to drop these transmissions. 30 years ago I used to pull them out all the time, but that was in a shop on a lift with proper equipment. In the driveway is a whole different animal. I know that I saw pictures on a different thread here regarding a transmission oil leak...

I was thinking of that as the simplest easy to fix problem. Especially since he can put it in gear without the clutch pedal depressed per post #48. Usually when you roll through the gears, you can feel a little something when the shifter is moved and you can feel the gears in the transmission...

Hmmmmm……didn’t think about that, Hahahha! Just saying it would be cool if it was something that the powertrain warranty would cover. well, I try to use honesty as the best policy in my life. I would first try to figure out why it’s not going into gear. These transmissions do take a fair amount...

I agree, it looks like an estimate. The fact that they saw metal shavings may possibly make them think that it was a driver error thing versus a defective transmission. I’m just guessing at that because otherwise, why wouldn’t the work be done by the dealer. The powertrain warranty is good for...

:popcorn: I am really curious to see what it is. Would be awesome. If it was something really silly like just the linkage to the shifter was disconnected or something like that. To play devils advocate, since the clutch pedal feel is normal and it bouncing back, I don’t think it’s anything...

Hi guys, sorry I’m not up with the lingo. Is HPFP a high-performance fuel pump? Thanks! Really curious to hear what are the sound is coming from.

Congrats on the purchase! I’m really curious what’s with this car. Keep us updated. Would love to check out this car to see where the problem lies.

Very cool! I was wondering if the FL5 wheels and tires will fit on a FK8. Nice!
