Wow! Dealers that way are more realistic. Mine gets as many hours for just clutches and want 105/hour.

It's pretty much the same as pulling the clutches just a few more odds and ins

Watch you oil color very carefully after working it hard, After some extreme wood splitting/haulingI changed my first oil change at 16 hours and was freaked out about how dirty the oil is, I saved it, still have it, just in case.I think I am going to stop reading this thread until something goes wrong with mine.
I damaged mine trying to ease up a very steep hill backwards, but it took a while to show up. I know this because I changed the first oil change shortly after the hill deal and the oil was / is extremely dirty. First symptom was gear leaver was very stiff, dealer adjusted it. Used it for 100 more hours and one morning went to load it on the trailer after I let come up to full operating temp, reverse didn't engage, same with low until I gave it a lot of gas.Mike do you recall reversing up any steep inclines, or did your clutch go out due to some other scenario? can you give some details of when/how your clutch was damaged (to the best of your recollection)? I know fordicator's happened while reversing up a steep hill, and I think I damaged mine reversing up a steep hill also is why I ask. Just trying to see if there is a common link.
Well I hope after nothing something wrong, I would have the since not to go into the deep woods, haven't been far off the beaten path and ride with some one with a rope. HAI think its worth mentioning at least the few issues that have happened no one has said it left them stranded where they had to walk home. I'm ok with some problems as long as I can get home to get it figured out which I'm confident Honda will do if there is in fact a problem.
yep, that's how it happened.I damaged mine trying to ease up a very steep hill backwards, but it took a while to show up.

Mine's been in the shop for 6 days now for a 4 hour job according to the service manager. It will be worth the wait if they solve the defect. Next defect is the heat issue I'm waiting for.yep, that's how it happened.
They/Honda must have gone the long route on mine, there were 32 gaskets/o rings replaced and the service manager said they chamfered the oil relief vale seats?If you guys do the clutch the newer way, by just removing the 1-3-5-R pack from the shaft, then this support isn't an issue. But if you do i the old Honda way (removing the whole rear engine cover) then it can get tight. But it is doable with the support in the way, the oil tank takes a little wiggling and twisting but that's about it. But Honda doesn't want us to pull all that stuff anymore, the only reason you needed to is because of the spring loaded balancer gear that unsprings once the whole clutch assembly is pulled from the shaft.
For you guys doing the interanl gear reduction, what needs to be machined on the rear cover? This cover house the oil pump (upper left in the picture on the other thread), I'd be weary that nothing got in that thing while machining. I'm sure these guys know what their doing, but be careful. One shaving could destroy and engine or cause clutch issues down the road.
