Default Should I get the extended Warranty (already used search)

Well my factory 4yr warranty is almost at an end, I have about a month and a few weeks left. I was thinking about purchasing the extended warranty (7yr/75kl) I called a few dealers and it looks like its going to cost me $800, and can be financed for 12 months without interest, which come to a mere $60 per month. My car is basically stock w/ the exception of the AEM CAI (which can be taken off if there needs to be warranty work done). I dont plan on spending big money on the car because im saving up for a bike., maybe a set of comptech headers in the near future, but thats about it. Do you guys think i should just go for it to be on the safe side or not?
Thanks in advance

Don't get it.

Dealerships don't need any more of your hard earned money.

If you are planning on selling the car within 75k miles, it will SELL a lot faster if it has a warranty. They are usually transferable with some processing fee.
On a Honda, you won't really start to see problems with them which the warranty will cover until 150k miles or so.
Also, warranty is usually something to help protect consumers from "faulty" manufacturing. If there was something faulty in your car, it would have showed already.

Basically the thing im afraid of is that i had my syncros replaced under warranty a few months back, But now the tranny feels wierd going into 2nd. It doesnt happen all the time, but sometimes it seems as if there is something blocking its path into 2nd, and other times it flows like it cutting thru melting butter. Im afraid that once the warranty is over ill have to get some costly trans work done..I may be wrong, hopefully i am.
