My real world experience is I have several hundred Honda owners that have had just the opposite experience as you, along with the Honda Dealerships I sell to, so there is a good possibility it could be driver error.

Are you serious dude. I love that. When your all mighty product fails it's always driver error. So then I all of a sudden learned how to shift my car when I installed the redline MTL? And I was running my motor wrong with the Amsoil oil in it and that was causing the oil to burn off like crisco? Dude, I've been driving manual transmissions for 20 years and have NEVER had a clutch or a transmission crap out on me. I've had a manual 95 Mustang GT, a 93 Accord 5speed, and used to drive my fathers 92 Porsche 911 turbo regularly and I've never had an issue with shifting. Plus it's a common issue with these cars. So nice cover with the driver error. Amsoil blows ass.
