Honda NSX NA1/NA2 Maintenance Schedule
The Honda NSX is a mid-engine exotic requiring specialized maintenance procedures. This comprehensive maintenance guide covers both NA1 (1990-1997) and NA2 (1997-2005) models with specific attention to the unique C30A/C32B VTEC V6 engines.
Critical Maintenance Notes
TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT: The timing belt service at 60,000 miles (or 6 years) is the most critical maintenance task. Failure can result in catastrophic engine damage due to valve-to-piston contact. Budget $2,000-$3,000 for this essential service.
Mid-Engine Access: Many maintenance tasks require removing the engine cover and working in the rear trunk area. Labor costs are typically 1.5-2x higher than conventional front-engine cars.
Snapring Transmission (1991-1992): Early manual transmission NSXs have a factory defect. Check transmission serial number and replace if in the affected range before failure occurs.
Follow the maintenance schedules below to preserve your NSX investment.
