2008 Honda Fit 4dr Hatch

Front axle sheared off close to driver side end. |

Replacement of transmission's third gear sensor (CEL code P0847). |

Transmission was sticking and a valve had to be replaced. Shifting was sticking and check engine light was on. Per forums, seems to be an ongoing problem. |
2008 Honda Fit 4dr Hatch
109-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD
| 111600 mi C $800 |
Oil leaking from transmission. Replaced seal. |
| 158260 mi US $1700 |
Full clutch replacement. Normally I'd consider this a wear item, but this is more than just a pressure plate and throwout bearing. I was told the entire assembly, including the flywheel required replacement. |
| 32000 mi | Dealer previously did not properly torque transmission oil drain plug. Drain plug subsequently fell off of car on highway and caused transmission damage. |
| 33000 mi | Transmission still whines and dealer stated that "they all do that". |
