Every element I test drove had a heavy mushy clutch. The throw out bearing on mine went before the clutch, then replaced with an exedy oem kit and it feels way better.
I don't think so, I've been using High Mileage 5w-30 Mobil 1 year round since 180k miles now at 240k. Though, I have started using the Honda Filter compared to Mobil 1.
My CVT has original Trans at 269K miles, and still going strong. I do change the fluid every 30-40k miles.
i recently switched from bfg ko2 to cooper discoverer at3 and love them. only issue is they pickup alot of rocks. and i live on a dirt road so constantly picking them out. but they ride great great traction in the wet. do ok in mud snow etc. ive had on 3 vehicles one was a honda element. rode like it was on rails. my excursion same and when does slide very predictable even with lsd locking poweslides.
The Toyo OpenCountry AT3 on a Honda Element were my favorite. Superior snow, mud, rain, and pavement performance.
Compressor failed. I went to the junkyard and pulled a Denso off an abandoned boxy boy. Geez it took all day to get the compressor in. I'd give it a 8/10 on the difficulty scale. Mainly for how tedious the work was. I did it without a jack which added to my obstacles.
Took about 8 hours total, 5 YT videos and 3 trips to the hardware store but my cars AC is back. Worst time for it to go out too in Texas Summer.
I'm happy I saved probably 1000 by doing it myself.
I went with RockAuto as well, but went with the AC Delco Gold Reman that was wound to have 135 Amp output instead of the OEM standard (~110 I think) I want to say it was around ~$170 with a $45 core deposit. AC Delco is a solid name in parts, and I believe was reman'd in Mexico.
Also it’s an Exedy oem replacement kit. To be more specific, I know some travel is normal without the slave installed. The issue is that the fork and bearing don’t even make contact with the pressure plate until the slave is almost completely extended.
I just did mine last week with Denso remanufactured , snapped the bolt and had to replaced the pulley tensioner too ????
Bought a Delphi knock sensor in late 2023 to replace failed stock sensor my 2004 Honda Element. I assumed Delphi was a trusted brand. The sensor did not solve the ECU code, even after clearing the code several times, and reseting the ECU. The CEL would reappear immediately or within driving a half mile. Assuming is was a hard to find wiring issue, I drove the vehicle with the Check Engine Light on for a year and a half. Recently, a 26-year Honda/Acura mechanic told me the 2003 and 2004 Elements are famous for failed knock sensors and I should use a genuine Honda part (from junkyard on 2005-later engine) or new from dealer. Skeptical, I bit the bullet and paid the price for the genuine Honda sensor. Cleared the CEL, installed the sensor, and have now driven over 600 miles with no sign of bad knock sensor. Lesson learned.
