In 6th gear? That looks pretty damn spot on to my spreadsheet Being just a hair under 2800 rpm

I think he meant it as confirmation that the sheet was correct! Honestly the 200 rpm difference in the gearing change doesnt look to bad once you see it on paper

 

[cammyfive]

Yes. That was in 6th gear and a level highway.

Post a pic of the service work order. I am curious to see why they are saying it's not covered.

 

[RP2000R]

I don’t abuse any of my cars. I can agree the stock clutch has a light pedal feel but I am at 31k and no issues.
Any pictures of the damaged parts?

This is not my first rodeo. This car was not abused in anyway or form. When I test drove the car it had 29 miles on it I cannot speak for them however I told the salesman that the clutch felt strange , his response was it was turbo lag. I have owned manual shift cars all my life and have never had a problem this is an 8 week old honda civic with 2500 miles on it. before the manager even saw the car he had his mind made up said he sees it all the time. There was another si on the rack with 3900 same problem. Honda has an issue and is ducking a recall. Thanks for the help but many people are having the same problems one with 10 miles on it. Don't get me wrong I love the car so far but this is totally unacceptable. Honda is giving me zero support and its going too arbitration. I had two outside 3rd parties look at it and said no way they should not honor the warranty.
""""HELP"""

 

[Frankirap]

With all do respect on principle alone the car is 8 weeks old 2500 miles they should have honored a 5 year 60000 mile warranty

We heard your side of your story. Now let's hear the dealership/Honda's side of it. I would imagine they would have to prove the parts were damaged due to abuse if they are not willing to replace them under warranty. Post a pic of the work service order so we can exactly what they said.

Turn off the caps lock, and your post will be much easier to read as a need instead of a furious rant.

I test drove a stock 2019 Si with 20 miles on it. I gave it a little throttle in 6th gear on the interstate going 70mph, and the clutch slipped! I tried it again a couple minutes later to see if I was crazy, and it slipped again. I told the salesman, babied the car back to the dealership, and was shocked. I was not remotely abusing this car, just passing in traffic. The OEM clutch should be able to stand up to this.

2017 Si here have had since brand new for 2 and a half years almost, almost 27K miles on the clock and never had a slip both when stock and now Hondata +6 tuned. It seems like these 10th gen Si's are not all built equally, almost as if it comes down to the luck of the draw whether you get one with a weak clutch or one that holds up.

This thread has taken so many turns.

Curious to hear more about this since I should be in the market for a 2020 Si soon.
