Anyone understand the logic of the transmission being drained?
Maybe if the trans was being dropped for clutch plates or something? Otherwise Ive never heard of a trans being drained except for RWD vehicles when you pull the drive shaft it runs out the tail.

Slowly making progress on installing my backup camera. I've got a ground for the camera line hooked up. I just need to figure out a positive for the monitor.

Finally fixed my ac after three years! Needed a new clutch/electric coil thing on the ac compressor, took me all day but totally worth it! Could do it in 1 hr next time (hope there isnt one).

Changed my oil with Royal Purple 5W-20 synthetic and a mobil 1 oil filter.


The last 4 years I've only changed my oil once a year since I only drive about 3,000 miles a year.


I'm thinking about doing it twice a year though since I'm now over 100,000 and the car is slowly getting older.

That is a great deal. Can you confirm that's for all 4?

Edit: Nevermind, I see someone asked that question on Amazon and it is for all 4. Thanks for sharing!

Yup! All 4 and they're decent quality. Not awesome, but not bad. I love that they say "Fit" on the fronts.

Manufacture date of 2006. Just think of how long these things have been sitting around!

Condition was perfect and in original honda packaging and included all of the clips if you don't already have them.

That's funny Hootie! Exactly the reason I picked them up.

Maybe I'll start some kind of thread in the GD section for bargain finds? It would be nice if everyone could share what they find. There's just soooo little out there for the GD's now.

When Lance posted about the Quaiffe I was thrilled! Would love to find more bargains like that.

My heel has literally worn a hole completely through in my originals so I think I might have to pull the trigger on these.

A GD deal thread might not be a bad idea.

After 10 years my Spoon short antenna cracked and now looks terrible. On the hunt for a new one...

If anyone has a spare or a mint one that they're willing to part with, lemme know.
