01 Rubi making an awful grinding noise while coasting, usually 4mph and less. Other than this it runs great. When its doing this you can goose the throttle and it will catch and stop making the noise.
I'm guessing its the hondamatic, or the oil pump.
My neighbor had an 01 also that we nearly bought at the same time, his did the same thing a couple of years ago. Cost him $2600 to have it fixed. He told me to get rid of mine then.
My rubi has only 225 hours / 1500 miles so I am a bit upset.
Oil changes every 30 hours with Honda products.
Has anyone had any luck getting Honda to help fix these out of warranty, it seems like every forum I read the Hondamatic has problems, especially the early models.
