Well... I only have 100 miles left on my warranty. So far no problems - knock wood! But is there anything anyone would suggest looking at just to be sure? I never received a letter regarding any recalls etc, is there a site I can check for that? I have a 98 Base. (No AYBABTO comments

)

I have a 98 base as well, and the only warranty repair i had was the 5th gear synchro...which is a service bulletin, so i'd get the 'free' repair asap...it can't hurt, you get a new 5th gear and tranny fluid.

Yeah... so far I haven't heard a peep from the tensioner... It's probably waiting until 36,001. How loud is it btw? Do you have to pop the hood or is it so bad you can actually hear it in the driver's seat?

I'm wondering if I'll escape that problem because my Prelude was made later in 98. #15613...

I have a late 98 as well....It's loud, can hear it at traffic speeds in the lower gears--it's actually getting louder.

Come to think of it, only one mechanic could come up with a reason as to what I might be doing to cause this....Getting on and off the gas too abruptly!! Ha!
