Just letting you all know (as IF you don't know most of this already!!!) that I just got off the phone with North American Honda, Torrance about my Rev Hang that I've been "formally" complaining about - IN WRITING - since June - even have a "case number" wow!!! The "Chris" that I talked to gave me the same old "Honda Line" - that the programming of the Drive By Wire Throttle is programmed with Rev Hang to "promote smoother shifting between gears"......when I asked him just HOW OVER-revving between gears promotes smoother shifting, he repeated the exact same words to me as if he was a "robot" !!! When I told him that I DID, in fact, get an ECU Update from my Dealer that lessened the Rev Hang - he continued with his exact same "quote" - I pressed him further and he said that he currently OWNS a 2009 Si and it has the "exact same issues" and "that's the way they all are"..............so.....when you guys hear this same explanation from your Dealers on your Rev Hang complaints you should not be surprised..........that is THE Honda "Corporate Response" to this Issue. Now I've even read on here that one of us who sent their ECU off to Hondata for the "Reflash" Program notes that even THAT does not "completely cure" the Rev Hang............one more thing - this Chris said to me that the "exact same DBW Throttle is used with the exact same Engine/Trans in the TSX and ILX" - and they act "the exact same way"................welcome to Our Brave New World.................I give up....guess I'll just "live" with it and suffer thru premature clutch wear and clutch replacement.........IMHO my car is otherwise a great car.............
