  1. Been seeing a lot of a/c relays going bad on Honda/Acura cars, but if you installed a can of R134a without checking the pressures first or for leaks, then the system is now overcharged and wont work.

    you have to pay to play "online" only, not for Netflix or anything like that, besides I thought you were already a PS+ member?

    I buy used games to save money but I stopped trading games in along time ago since they don't give you anywhere near what you paid for it. MS cutting out used games was a dumb move, think about when people buy a game beat it and wanna sell it or trade it in, now they can't unless a friend wants it, plus it would hurt stores like gamestop on their used game market, putting people out of jobs. To me MS is trying to corner the Video Game market as they did the PC world.

    I already stated I was buying a PS4 when it was announced a few months ago, but dammit the Xbox One has Killer Instinct, oh well pre-ordering the PS4 tonight
  5. get a secluded cabin down in the hocking hills then go hiking to old mans cave, I know there's secluded cabins with hot tubs down there, you can cook out too, its close and cheap
  6. I'll give you this advise, when you do it MAKE SURE its standing up(bell housing side facing down) you'll have to make a hole in your workbench for the input shaft to go through, then tear it down from the back to the front, pay attention to the internal shift linkages if you don't then they wont line up correctly and you'll spend hours trying to figure it out, if you try to do it by just letting it sit long ways ALL your shafts WILL NOT line up correctly when putting it back together. In the rear half of the transmission is reverse gear, 5th & 6th gear with a couple spacers, reverse counter shaft and the syncro's for each of those gears, then there's an input gear that you'll need a special puller to get off the main shaft(if not then you wont be able to access the front half of the transmission). Up in the front half are gears 1st-4th, syncros for each gear the input shaft along with the $1,500.00 counter shaft(MAKE SURE THIS GETS INSTALLED PROPERLY OR YOUR GONNA HATE LIFE!) also pay close special attention to each gear & syncro when you remove them(front & rear of the transmission), there's needle bearings in a plastic race that goes inside each gear DO NOT MIX THOSE UP OR DAMAGE THE PLASTIC RACE or you'll damage the main shaft. Once you get it back together, go through each gear making sure there's no issues then re-install it in the car, FYI the T56 uses ATF
  7. you can gets parts from a GM dealer and a place called Goodale transmission. Those are the 2 places I used when I did mine. The stuff you'll wanna upgrade would be the shift fork pads, shift forks, and syncro keys for sure(these are the items that crack/break/wear/bend the most) the rest would be up to you, I would recommend replacing the bearings since you'll have it apart, take a real close look at your syncro's chances are they're all worn, AND one last thing if this is your first T56 rebuild have fun...

  12. about 3-4 years ago i I fixed a civic with the exact same issue your having, I replaced the cluster and it was fixed. 99.9% of the time its the cluster itself, the other 0.01% is the VSS.
  13. the IMA battery is 8/80 now its 9/96,600 if you have documentation about the complaint prior to the warranty limits call Honda customer care and let them know whats going on with your situation, they'll get involved and get you taken care of, make sure they know you have a VSC, it'll go 1 of 3 ways: 1. Honda will fix your issue as a 1 time goodwill repair 2. Honda will split the cost with you either 50/50 or Honda will pay for the part if you pay for the labor. 3. nothing
  14. the two white helmets looked cool but that's it, I hope they know new helmets aren't gonna save that program lol
  15. well Service Bulletin's that have been completed are: 07-009= 06 civic hybrid DC cover 07-061= 06 Suzuka civic brake switch 10-034= 06-08 civic hybrid reflash 11-013= 06-07 civic hybrid stalling. only parts that have been replaced was a IMA control unit on 4/2/2011 open service bulletins are: 11-068= fuel tank seepage 12-077= 06-08 IMA battery 12-048= junction board replacement 10-083= IMA battery software and hardware updates(this is not really a service bulletin, its information for the dealerships on how to properly do the updates) the open bulletins basically the normal warranty applies, but I see you have a VSC(vehicle service contract) and I stated earlier that Honda has extended the warranty on your car 8yrs/80,000 miles 10yrs/150,000 miles so if your within the limits go back to Germain Honda or take it to another Honda dealer, if they blow you off call Honda customer relations they'll get you taken care of
  16. our service adviser's did everything they could to keep him from getting assigned to any of their cars they wrote up
  17. you know him? I can tell you this when he worked at Lindsay all he did was bitch about not getting hours, wouldn't buy any tools off the tool trucks, dealership stepped up and paid his toolbox off so Snap-on wouldn't repo it he hadn't made a payment on it in over 3yrs, he purchased a $30.00 flashlight of the Matco Tool truck and it took him 5-6 months to pay it off! he literally gave the Matco man $1 a week if anything at all, handed him a $5 once and asked for 4.00 back. He stole some shop tools said HE bought them when the service manger and all of us knew he was lying out his ass, when it came to diagnosing a car he would go around and ask each tech if they had any issues with said problem he was working on, would never pick up a service manual or ETM(were all still convinced to this day he can't read). He diagnosed car problems by going to the parts counter and asking to borrow whatever part he thought was bad and swapping it out, if it didn't fix the issue then he would remove and return the part and try another(rinse lather and repeat), he was the last one to work and the first one to leave. I have so many stories about him, I don't know where to begin.
  18. I didn't mean any type of performance mod, I was talking about dealership service & repairs. I can look up the warranty repair history on Honda's IN, it'll show me the dealerships number that did the work, repair actions and the part numbers of any replaced parts, if you want me to see what all has been done under warranty PM me the car's VIN # and I'll check it tomorrow, if not no biggie. as far as taking it elsewhere try Lindsay Honda.
  19. yup transmission is shot, it'll probably kick the check engine light on soon if its not already on, codes P0730 & P0740 will most likely be stored for incorrect gear ratio.
  20. what's the issue with the transmission?
  21. Terry Michael, he IS a real life Homer Simpson http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd60/cwash77/74185_4645672778219_712357777_n_zpsa90cfc8b.jpg http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd60/cwash77/homer-cartoon-simpsons_zps9025aae6.jpg
  22. I have no clue what all has been done to your car, is there a light on? your next steps will be to either take the car back to them with your issue, ask them to have an experienced tech look at the car(the no light speech is bullshit) they have service manuals and ETM's to troubleshoot with! they can also call Honda TechLine for help, sounds to me their techs are lazy, you can call Honda's customer care number(not the dealership BUT Honda) they'll get involved with the district Honda Rep. and they'll want documentation on everything done relating to your issue before and after the repair If all else fails take it to another respectable Honda dealer. If your taking your car to Germain Honda I know there's a Tech there who is lazy and useless! he was fired from our dealership for selling work that didn't need to be done and his fix it right the first time ratio was 0, his electrical skills on a scale of 1-10 is a -1,000,000,000 guy can't even read a DMM doesn't know the difference between voltage and ohms, sad thing is this guy has been working on cars for over 10 years now
  23. depends on the game, some games have an internal battery, where others used the controller pack (memory card) to save your data
