On Tuesday 1/21/20 while about 1 mile from my office I heard a metal ping noise under my vehicle. Next thing I know I was stuck in 3rd and I was locked out of all others. Scary but I made it to work. I tried the gears again in the parking lot and everything seemed normal. I figured I would see if it was a fluke on my way home.
On my way home after about a mile I was stuck in 4th gear. I pulled over stopped the car. I could only get in 4th, reverse neutral. After 15 minutes I could get into 1st and was only a mile from the Honda dealer. So I roll up to the dealership with my Hondata on, Intercooler, HVI, and boost tubes. I'm thinking this isn't good. I explain to the service advisor what happened and I leave my car with them.
Long story short apparently only a small portion of the clutch has any wear so they are replacing all parts related to the clutch under warranty. They are inspecting the transmission as well. Supposedly the Honda Engineers haven't seen this before. They are going to keep it for an extra day to road test as well. I'll let you know as I get more info.
