Dec 2015 77000 mi US $150	3rd gear was popping out and grinding when shifting. This is a common issue that affected 8th gen manual civics. A TSB was issued but only covered a narrow production range. My car was technically out of the range but affected by the problem. The dealer in my town replaced 3rd gear under an extended warranty I purchased. This repair otherwise would have cost me >$2000 but my warranty deductible as only $150. I also had the dealer replace the clutch at this time as it was nearing the end of its life.

Replaced with newer used OEM.
Jul 2018 170500 mi C $200	A/C failed but compressor was fine, so I suspected a condenser leak. replaced rad (was still in good shape, but thought it would be a good idea since I was replacing the condenser anyways) replaced condenser, replaced coolant recharged A/C
