I'm still on the 1st set of pads... i'm on 33000ks with 2 track days and mine are still there! lol

How hard have you been driving?

the markers on the OEM pads extend pretty far in so even when your brakes start squeeling there is plenty of meat left on the pads. just honda's way of getting you to buy new pads ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$)

Your handbrake cable may be too tight. Or you are doing a lot of handbrake turns.

it might be too tight because every time i read my honda service receipts it says, tighten handbrake etc. but no i don't ever do handbrake turns except for 2 occasions, one was chucking a u turn, and the other was me and my friend just wearing out my old tyres before i put on new ones the day after.

Has the auto transmission fluid been changed? If you want to get a 2nd hand gearbox, the wreckers would be your best bet.

Count the number of clicks on the handbrake as you pull it up tight. It should be 6-8 clicks.

Is this the first ATF change since new? It should be changed every 2 years. Hopefully you used Honda ATF. Don't add any of the aftermarket treatment things. Those can cause problems in the long run.
