I have a huge headache on my hands. I have a 2003 honda civic si with 106000 km. I took it in at 102245 km. I took it in because it was running rough. When I shifted it made noise in all the gears. The Dealer checked it out and said I needed new BRG's in the trans axle. He said it would cost $2000. I asked what is BRG's and he said new bearings for the tranny. He told me I'm racing the car and shifting gears at a very high rpm. That is totally untrue. I take care of the care very much. Anyways, he asked if I had warrenty and I said it expired (the bumper to bumper in april and powertrain at 100000). So I walked away with out getting it fixed. I was originaly there to get the timing belt done which it was.
My questions is . Is there any chance Honda will pay for that tansmission to be fixed? It's only 2245 km over the warrenty. I called Honda canada and told what happened and customer service said they will get back to me in 48 to 72 hours.

What can I do?

Thanks
Sam
