To get this entire job done again in 18 months for exactly $0 is fantastic in my opinion. So go ahead, spend two grand over the course of three years trying to get your car right; mine already is.
Every motor, trans, and drivetrain portion of my car was engineered by Honda for a Honda SiR-G... ...and now, both the trans and motor/axles are under warantee for 3 years and another 22 months, respectively. Can you say that about your P.O.S., auslander?
Or will you be sliding underneath it again in 3 months? :lmfao:
So which is it? Did you spend the money to get the correct trans for your motor so it will hold up, or did you spend the money for the warranty so when you f this one up you get a free one? Personally I think you just wanted to be able to say that your trans is JDM, since everyone knows that USDM sucks, but thats just me.
The thing about warranties is that they only cover defects in materials and workmanship. When you frag this trans because of doing something stupid, don't be suprised when you have to pay for it all over again. If it's built right and not abused, a warranty is never used. If I wanted a warranty, I'd go buy a RSX.
FYI, I know how to drive and shift so I've never screwed up a trans, being ASE certified means my "amatuer job" is just as good as your warranty job, and the only parts I expect to get less than 18 months out of are filters, oil, and tires. I'm sure I'll be under my "P.O.S." quite a few times in the next 3 months, but the thing you don't get is that more than likely, it will be to make it faster, not so I can get to work the next day.
It's your money, your choice what to do with it. I hope for your sake that nothing else goes wrong since you already had to take out one loan.
BTW, heres my two "P.O.S.", judge for yourself....
