I replaced everything that needed it. yes it's a lot of money but it just didnt make any sense to half-arse it. already in the hole for £2200 (Xtreme clutch+all labour), so throwing in the cost of parts with gearbox repair seemed almost trivial. close enough £3k all in.
i had 1st/2nd synchro & 2nd gear done in gearbox. Dealer thought the clutch didnt need replacing but my heart was set on SMF when it's out of warranty and i'm paying for replacement - that just happened 3years earlier than i expected.
I'm not getting the notchiness in any gear now either so i'm sure there was a clutch fault. Same symptoms as April17 clutch replacement.
Old parts are sat outside in the conservatory waiting for me to take a look. Nothing visually obvious stands out on the clutch side.
Thats kinda my story on the car - wear items have worn out/replaced quicker than anticipated (tyres, brakes, clutch/gearbox). Almost anything i've tried to do has ended up with delays (Remus catback, winter wheels, 4months on this gearbox issue), or just plain bad luck (3 seperate faults with audio upgrade). Joys of this typeR i guess - low build numbers and needing quality aftermarket for track use to make reliable makes quick parts a bit of a nightmare. If parts come in less than a month then i'm doing well...
if i were in your position, i'd be looking at how much longer i have on warranty. if a month or two left is it really worth getting honda to do the work vs a trusted indy shop? If i knew the warranty outcome of my gearbox then i'd have gone indy and saved a few hundred quid however I had more to gain by attempting warranty so that was the deciding factor.
