well.... looks like disaster hit my vehicle today. was driving this morning to work when i tried passing a slow car.... i down shifted and hit the gas and accelerated up to around 5500 rpm... the car all of a sudden lost its power for a second then violently came back with a grinding noise. after this, i up-shifted and the car was shaking. after pushing the clutch in and out the car seemed fine. however, trying to get home from work later today i was unable to get the car to move at all from the parking lot... don't know if the tranny or clutch went. worst part is the dealership is closed and i had to get a lift home. needless to say i will be towing it to the dealership tomorrow. i will try to keep everyone posted as to what happened. this is truly dissappointing and i am very stressed out over the incident. i hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.

ps. after this i don't think that i will be purchasing any future honda products... and after 13 years of driving them, this is very hard to say.
