I'm not interested in doing this to my Civic, I have too many hills in my area. I just think it's interesting technology to discuss.
They introduced it in the 70s and it was all mechanical (thus heavy, tedious to work on, and unreliable) now GM are using it through an electrical application with solenoids. I am kind of curious how the Accord works, probably the same principle, but eh.
Very interesting stuff.
