I almost traded in my CR-V for it, but it has more miles than I want.
I'll have to check it out. The trans is gonna be way sloppy compared to yours for tons of reasons.

1. age/miles
2. softer mounts
3. looser ratio/no short shifter
4. it's got looser tolerances as well... slop.
5. clutch


but it could be bad so if I drive it I'll for sure pay close attention to that.

Short blocks are cheap for dealerships. The heads pretty much double the expense so if they don't need it they won't change it. I mean that short block would run us about $1600 I think so I'm sure the dealership cost on the short block was probably $500. The heads would cost every bit as much.

I'm really interested in this one out in CO. I'm gonna have someone look at it for me. It's under 60k miles and has some good mods on it already. I hate buying modded cars but if it checks out it checks out. There's on in Arizona I"m interested too and one out in Delaware. If the DE one was on the west coast I'd buy it. But DE is a long haul. Gonna add $700 to the cost and I don't have anyone I trust in DE. In CO I do. LOL! Mess with me in CO is bad idea. haaaa.
