Sounds like I need these parts for my engine rebuild this winter. Where do I find these parts, anybody got part numbers for this stuff yet?


@Sheetmetalfab You still willing to sell me the old cases?
Sure thing as soon as I get them there will be pictures here.

i’ll get part numbers for the sub trans stuff then too.

I forgot about this thread, we've been short staffed.

Here's the new stuff

Shift Shaft 24210-HL4-010
Star 24331-HL4-010

These dont show in the parts fiche yet, but are available to order, weve got a couple of each in stock for the next rebuild that comes around.

Very much appreciated good sir!

So just to recap what I have been reading here is that the issue was with the aftermarket filter?
I was trying to follow the discussion, but my Talon has the Jackson turbo intake system and I installed the S&B particle separator aswell, which totally removed the stock Honda system and I wanted to make sure I didnt miss anything that might affect my setup...
The Honda engine seems to be sensitive to any contaminates making it thru the intake and filter. This isn't surprising (engine wise), but the filter issues are. That's why I went with the particle separator. The particle separator doesn't match up easily with the Jackson setup, but I was able to make it work pretty well.
Sorry to here about the issues and hopefully the other parties involved fix their issues and make it right for your machine. Thanks for sharing...

Yes theres a few of us that have had some failures of a aftermarket filter that allows contaminants around it.

They have stopped replying to my Emails,voice mails and also the BBB complaint i file about them. So i guess i will have to get a lawyer if i want any thing to happen.

While state laws vary, small claims court can often be an inexpensive yet powerful tool for consumers.

The internet is a powerful tool. I'd be posting pictures and the story everywhere R2C advertises and anywhere they are mentioned all across the world wide web. The SxS filter market is a drop in the bucket for R2C but the racing side of their business isn't. I'd be hitting them where it hurts most. Guaranteed you get a response from them in short order. Sometimes you have to be an asshole to get wrongs righted...

Only problem is the repairs could be over the $5k cap of small claims court. But thanks for the suggestion, i will look into that.
