Any word yet on this topic. mine is in the shop and they say i need a new tranny. i thought hondas ran forever? apparently i bought the wrong machineAny luck on the tansmission noise? I have an'04 Rubicon with the same problem: shifts fine, runs fine, but has a ratcheting noise when decelerating down-hill. I have been led to the conclusion that the oil pump is at fault. I now have the engine in pieces on my workbech in the garage and am looking for answers. Please let me know what you have experienced on this machine.
