Good call, good call! Thanks! You know you're never allowed to sell this car now that we all depend on you for knowledge, right? I've adjusted that pedal more times than I care to count now. My general advice is to do your adjustments (if any) after the car's been driven at operating...

Interesting... maybe I'm misunderstanding but I bought the ACDelco Syncromesh 10-4014 everyone swears by and it definitely says "Friction Modified" on the label. I think theoretically friction modifiers could increase wear on the synchros because they're likely ever so slightly more abrasive as...

I've generally heard good things about the ACDelco 10-4014 (though as above, I haven't personally tried it yet). It's one step up in weight from, but ends up being only just slightly above the viscosity of, the factory fluid, with added friction modifiers to reduce the overall lubricity...

This is great advice, thank you! It's a shame they likely won't cover the labor since that's the more expensive part (I think I only paid like $100 for the CMC), but I would definitely like to at least get it warrantied (and documented on the off chance Honda/Acura corporate start taking the...

Okay so a little update on this. I took it to Acura and they drove it but didn't do any further tests, concluding it was normal. I didn't exactly agree, so I finally just took it to an independent shop and had the clutch master cylinder replaced and the difference is... significant. Whereas...

I haven't found a way to reproduce it super consistently, except for shifting into the same gear a few times in a row or really pushing towards the edges of the gates when shifting, but I'd sort of expect it to "crunch" in the latter case. Good call on checking for vibrations, though. I have...

Yeah, not the clutch pedal, that's pretty much okay. I didn't do the bushings as the consensus seemed to be that they didn't make a massive difference and were somewhat tedious to install. I didn't trace the cable, but I wouldn't be sure what to look for. It doesn't seem to be hitting any snags...

I'm almost there myself, honestly. After this most recent adjustment I thought I'd solved it, but it came right back. When my CDC rod is adjusted to the point where the clutch can't fully re-engage, the actual shifting feels GREAT. It's a very satisfying ka-thunk and while you still can't just...

That matches what I found I the FL5 Type R service manual, so glad to know it's adjusted properly (it was around 3/4 of an inch too short from the factory when I measured). I haven't brought it in because I do my routine maintenance myself and the nearest dealership is over an hour away, so...

So it seems to me that no matter how I shift, I inevitably feel what feels like the gear teeth engaging/rubbing (not quite a grind) through the shifter on what I'd say is about 70-80% of my gear changes. I've got around 4000 miles on it and it doesn't seem to have improved over time. Now, I've...

Finally got around to installing the Acuity shifter, Overland center console cover, and a Billetworkz leather weighted shift knob. Also think I finally fixed my crunchy 2nd gear! Even after doing the CMC adjustment and changing my habits, my shifts to second just weren't smooth, so I checked...

Thanks for the video @optronix! After reading what you and @Victorofhavoc were saying, I went back and re-assessed how I felt about the stock exhaust, specifically doing some highway driving in Sport, and I think the "drone" may not be as bad as I seem to recall (I don't do a ton of highway...

I'll check that one out, thanks! I'm pretty happy with how the car sounds as-is honestly, I think I'm just succumbing to the urge to make some changes and thought the exhaust tone could be just a liiiittle deeper, lol.

I think the hardest part about comparing exhaust setups is trying to find videos where the cars are actually driven instead of just revving them in place. To me at least, the exhaust sounds much different when the engine is under actual load, and that's what I'm most interested in hearing. The...

I don’t have much of a preference either way - quieter or louder - for the Sport settings. I am planning to tune once I can get my hands on a spare ECU to clone to (seems to be sold out for a bit at the local dealerships last I checked). How do you like the Borla? And appreciate the insights...

I’ll check that out, thanks! I’d say what I’m looking for is something deeper/cleaner in tone than OE but with minimal increase in volume/drone in the Comfort setting.

Gotcha! I wouldn't say I strictly want the exhaust to always be quiet - I usually have it on Sport or Sport+ when I'm driving twisty back roads - but I definitely want an OEM-like "Comfort" level of noise to fall back on when I'm on a longer highway commute, and then something with a little...

Thanks! Is that only for non-Type S specs? I didn't see an option for the Type S / 2.0 T on their website.

Hi everyone! What are the best options for an OEM-like exhaust, but with more character and maybe a bit deeper? I'm not really interested in making things louder as I have a pretty low tolerance for drone; I typically don't like to drive on the highway in any setting except Comfort. Should I...

Sorry, I meant I was just looking at the bronze ones generally, not that those in particular looked bronze, haha. I can definitely tell they're black (a really nice black, too) and I think the setup looks great; thanks again for sharing!
