Sorry I haven't been engaged much, but I'm still creeping around from time to time to see what's going on. Wanted to stop by and give an update on the Honda product improvement campaign and other marginalia... just completed post maintenance testing on Aetna Mtn, and I must say it is amazing what the updates did for my machine! My buddy that helped me test it kept commenting that it was quieter and smoother shifting. As the driver I definitely noticed an improved ability to creep at low speeds while keeping the clutches fully engaged. Before the update it would shudder at low speeds, and really bad when engaging reverse.
The extended warranty kicked in and covered rear diff seal replacement.
All total I had the cabin comfort kit, clutch replacement/upgrade, and rear diff seals replaced. My cost? $0.00
Got a happy Honda owner right here!
I've also attached a pic of the box of mud "keepsake" that the mechanic so carefully placed in the bed for me to bring home!lol
