The reports of DC5 gearboxes actually being a problem are apocryphal at best.

Acura has done some warranty work on occasion, but most of the problems are caused by people who don't know how to shift, or actually mis-shift often enough to abuse the gearbox.

You can find people who claim that there is a design problem with the DC2 ITR gearbox, when, in fact, it's one of the smoothest, nicest things you'd ever want to drive...provided you know how to shift in the first place, of course.

Cant say it better. Drive an RSX and then drive most other cars. Large difference.

The Honda/Acura dealership i work at has done a few RSX's and Ep's on warranty, but they covered it all on warranty

Yeah, all that gear grinding is just a driver thing. My friend was doing that and complained that it was happening every day. After another friend drove it to make sure, it checked out to be fine. Turns out his clutch was a little tricky because it would feel like its down all the way however it still had a bit to go before being completely disengaged.

Awesome. Hopefully someday I will be able to go to the dealer and buy a brand new car like that!

The only difference from 03 to 04 is the heated front seats and heated side mirrors.

Only thing new for the 04 RSX is the addition of a little button next to the cruise control button that activates the drivers side mirror heater. Yep, only drivers side mirror gets heated. haha.

Funny two of my freinds have '03's and Both Mirrors were heated... seems like DRLs aren't the only difference for Canadian RSX's

BTW, Nice ride Ducky!
