freaky shifting on upscale Hondas.. *article*

A buddy of my brother's whose father runs a Honda dealership got himself one of the nice Acuras and within about 10k his tranny was shot....metal shavings everywhere.

But ya know what, nobody makes perfect products. There's always going to be a bad apple in a large enough bunch. People just don't understand the way manufacturing works, or even the way anything works, if they make claims like "I had one problem with my car and I'll never buy another one again." Ya really gotta look at the number of failures in a large batch and then compare....Honda's got one of the lowest.

But we already knew that.....

I'm not too impressed with my manual tranny, though....I dunno what's up with it, but it's real inconsistent. Sometimes smooth, sometimes rough....sometimes doesn't want to go into gear. Can't wait to drop in my Redline MTL, though....I'm hoping it's just an oil issue.
