I bought my 2017 civic hatchback sport last week so far i'm loving the car but have a few questions.
1st its been a long time since i drive a car manual transmission but I notice at times when i shift i can hear the shifter make a odd sound ( not grinding but cant explain it) not sure if its normal or not

#2 I like to mod the car a bit but not sure what can be done and not void the warranty like the car to be more sporty :)

#3 is there a way around the throttle hang i read that all the cars have it but man it makes me feel like i'm just driving the car wrong as if i'm not letting off the gas while i'm shifting gears

#4 how many miles would you guys consider to be a good break in point for the motor

there was a lot more i wanted to ask but my mind went blank once i started to type all this lol

1.) Hard to say
2.) Ktuner programmer works wonders, whether it maintains warranty or not is questionable
3.) Ktuner
4.) 600 miles per the manual if I recall correctly

I actually asked my service advisor about flashing my car, she said as long as I don’t fry it she’ll take care of it.
Oh and of course as soon as an aftermarket down pipe touches my turbo ( exhaust is fine ) bye Byers warranty.

I would be very wary of someone who says they will "take care of it". Usually people like that have a "i dont remember saying that" or "thats not what I meant". Get it in writing somehow to back yourself up because if sh*t hits the fan, you dont want to be arguing your point.

Is the sound you hear when shifting coming from the shifter area itself and is it a pronounced “thud” sound? Get Hondata or Ktuner for more power and rev hang issues. The only issue I have with mine is the radio, but I believe you can go to a reputable audio shop and they can replace it. I broke mine in for ~600 and it pulls quite hard for such a small engine.
