This is a car in my shop. Only 3000 miles on it. Guy(not a kid) accidently went from 5th gear to 2nd....ouch. Lots of holes in the block...plus a rod hanging out!












Rod showing through


new RSX block


new RSX head..still in box..lol

 

Damn.

There's a guy who did the same thing here in Omaha. Acura wouldn't cover it. The guy swore up and down that he didn't misshift. I don't know the truth myself...it's all hearsay.

 

Daaaaaaaaaam. I guess money might not matter to them.

 

yeah a buddy of mine did the same thing - acura made him pay, I just saw him (phil with the 19's ). i guess he fought it and got acura to reimburse him

 

pistons look neat

 

what kind of sound would damage like that make? pretty loud?

 

i love how you're pointing at those holes... like i can't see the massive dark hole there...

D

 

hahaha... I thought thouse were crank breather holes.

 

I was taking the pics, not doing the pointing..

 

Boy, that is sad!

 

What shop do you work at? I work at Lanier Honda in buford, GA. We had a 2002 CRV motor(block and head out of the vehicle) cuz it had 54 miles on it, and it was leaking oil bad, we had to replace the rear main seal then everything was back to normal.

Im at an Acura dealership in the metro Atlanta area.

 

Would Acura be covering this one?

 

wow how much is that costing him

 

OUCH ..

 

just lovely!!!

 

I sure hope not. It's not their fault. It's driver error, pure and simple.

 

Ouch that looks nasty

 

How the hell do you shift from 5th to 2nd? Was he new to manual?

 

One extra gear, must of goten confused!!!

 

Wowsers...

Seems like there are quite a few people having trouble w/ the new 6-speed tranny. I wonder how close together the gates are for him to have missed that badly...

 

It's not realy a big miss. Thing about it your hauling in 5th, someone pulls out in front of you, you slam on the breaks and down shift to 4th. Since your occupied with the car infront of you, you accidently drop it to 2nd. I did it on my GSR by accident once, luckly i realized before i let the clutch out. But if i was in a rush, I would have had problems.

 

Good kill

 

ouch...now that's what i call positive crankcase ventilation.

 

Ouch...atleast he has a new boat anchor now.
