Honda Gl1800 2004 Power Train Manual Transmission Review #10287011
HONDA GL1800 2004 car safety problem was reported on May 01, 2009.HONDA GL1800 2004, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION . 2004 goldwing october 2003 build date. at roughly 12,000 miles spring 2005, third gear engagement, up or down, would occasionally result in a single loud clunk as throttle power was applied. by the time the bike was at 55,000 miles summer 2009, this condition of clunking (skipping a gear dog) was 100% likely. i have in that time been mindful of third gear and generally skip it or only apply moderate throttle when i know i am in third gear; but by 55,000 miles even slight acceleration force would result in the transmission skipping a dog and clunking. in that intervening time, i recall three incidents where i thought i was in second or fourth, applying power through a turn and the clunk would result in a short skid or the loss of temporary power and would require me to quickly find a new turn tilt equilibrium. i did not loose control, but i did have to take emergency corrective action. in fall 2009 honda agreed to repair the transmission under factory extended warranty, still at the repair facility. honda's warranty policy is to keep all replaced parts. *tr.Mileage was 53000 miles.
