Default Possible Problem?

I have been noticing lately that my car is pulling to the right (I've been testing it out by accelerating with my hands off the wheel and watch my wheel turn to the right) when I accelerate moderately/hard. It is also doing it a little when I brake. As for the acceleration portion, shouldn't the LSD prevent the car from pulling during hard acceleration? I don't recall this happening before. I checked the tire pressure and all is well in that department. Just trying to get a few ideas before I take it back to Honda. I'm wondering if there is something wrong w/ the LSD.

They had to take out my tranny when they replaced the synchro's when I was having issues shifting into 3rd/4th gear. Just hoping he didn't mess anything up when putting it all back together.

Thanks

It could just be that your alignment is off.

When I bought my new Si, the car was slightly pulling to the right and I took it in to the dealer and they aligned it and it was fine after that.

However, it has been over a year since I have had the car aligned and I am starting to slightly notice the same thing again.

It is nothing major and at this point I will soon be lowering my car and will have Honda align it again once it is lowered.

Did they align it after the transmission job?

Provided you're running stock suspension, take it in to the dealership and describe exactly what you did in this thread... I'm sure they'll get it aligned without a hassle.

Yea, they aligned it after they put the tranny back together. The sales rep told me that they won't align cars under warranty after 6k miles. I have 10k on it now. That's why I was a little hesitant to take it to them was for the fact that I don't think they'd honor another alignment. We'll see though. Thanks for replies.
