Well, it runs better and things are fixed, but I have a major problem.
Ive had (Which it needed) a new clutch, timing belt, water pump put in. Also, I had a crack on my exhaust manifold and they said I needed to replace it. Ok, made sense to me, the symptoms they described were what I had seen but thought less of (white smoke for a bit at startup out of the tailpipe etc. Anyways, a week later, I pick it up today and the shifting feels really nice n all but big problem. When I start from 0, as soon as I release the clutch there is like no power. I had to downshift to 2nd to get it even going to 40. On the freeway it maxed out at about 74mph in 5th gear, I had to downshift to fourth just to get a little more power. Also, when at a stop and i turn my wheel right or left, I hear a grinding noise now? Is there something they forgot to do, do I have a new problem? Im going back in early tomorrow first to the clutch shop. Any ideas!?!?! I am so mad right now, I just want my baby to work!

Be nice to them and ask if they would check for this loss of power. Chances that if the manifold was broken that the cat converter has overheated and come apart and is clogging the exhaust. Noise while steering might be when the shop removed the axles they pulled on the struts to far and accidentally dammaged the ten year old strut top bearings that should be replaced when you pay out more money for new shock struts. And of course if you spent more money at Honda dealership we would not be having this little talk right now
