    Hi there,
    I just had my 2001 Honda Accord (166,500 km) in for a fall
    maintenance service (oil & filter change, tire rotationand basic
    inspection) at Midas and the technician showed me a series of surface
    cracks (maybe 30 of them in polygon shapes about 2.5 cm in dimension)
    on the aluminum casting on the 5-spd tranny bell housing (left side
    casting when looking from the driver's seat). He said that it was not
    something he had seen before. I don't know quite what to make of it.
    Is this serious? If it is, how should I approach the repair? Could it
    be a manufacturing defect that Honda should look after?
    Your helpful and insightful comments would be appreciated. TIA

    Balls
