Wrong, they will not replace any electronic component on the SB. Only the
SB for safety reasons. Per Honda USA.
I didn't take it to the dealer either. Cost close to $200.

Right. The dealer replaces the entire seat belt mechanism. It's not
rocket science.
And Honda warrants seat belts forever. They just replace the whole
thing. The dealership puts it in for warranty pay.
> I didn't take it to the dealer either.
Maybe that's why you had to pay out of pocket.
Trust me, the mechanism that dealers have for paying for things like
this is well established, and the fact that Honda warrants seat belts
without question is well known.
Honda doesn't want to be caught on the end of any trouble, having
refused to replace a simple seat belt.

Hi TeGGeR
I am sorry. It was actually CAN$ 25.5 for 0.30 hours. Slip of eye or

My concern is not the catastrophic failures but the (much more
wide???) sticky shifting that does seem to be temporarily
relieved by new fluid.
Of course it's far from a fix, just a crude backup, way to get by.

Hey Elmo!
Do you think that Honda will replace the slack seat belts in my '83 Civic?
