Should be the same.

Just make sure you don’t mix the different models’ specs. I recommend using the diagrams for torque specs. Far easier, and they contain more information, like tightening sequences and if a gasket needs to be replaced. Mitchell1’s diy subscription is pretty good value. I paid 60$ for 4 years of...

I used a motive pressure bleeder with a Honda master cylinder adapter to do both the brakes and the clutch. Worked great. You can either fill it with brake fluid and pressurize it to force fluid into the reservoir, or do it ”dry” - where you use the power bleeder just to pressurize the system...

I got the part # from dream shop:

I got it at a local shop, but I’m not from the US. I see it’s available on Amazon. It’s known also as loctite 8040.

I’m going to install a TSP downpipe soon. I plan to soak it in penetrating oil overnight and I got some loctite freeze and release (penetrating oil with a freezing agent) to use just before removing it. Heard it works wonders on rusty exhaust studs. I‘ll use the double nut method.

May I ask why do you need to drop the trans on a fairly new car? I’m asking because mine just developed a slight knocking sound on overrun and I’m waiting for Honda to get back to me (it’s done just under 29,000 miles).

Thanks for letting us know. Just put my order in.

Seems to just be stuck on:

The owner’s manual says NGK ILZKAR8J8SY.

You’re looking at the wrong information in the manual, which is far too easy to do with the pdf. That’s partially why I ended up purchasing a subscription for the full manual. So much easier to find exactly what I need. It was 60$ for 4 years of access through Mitchell 1 diy, which I think is...

The manual calls for the cross method. I periodically check the tread depth and when there’s a difference of 1-2 mm I’ll rotate them.

Mine became a bit sticky after cruising down the motorway for a while. But I found that it only happens with the steering in comfort. In Sport and +R there’s no hint of it. Comfort used to be my primary mode but after switching to the ITS ADS I switched to using sport as a default. I haven’t...

There are six jacking points on the fl5: 1-4: The reinforced sections of the pinch welds immediately ahead of the rear wheels and immediately behind the fronts (see image below from the owners manual). Those are where the pinch is thicker with an added right angled plate welded on the pinch...
