Recall fixed....(with a question)
I had my recall repaired yesterday with no issues, broken clips or anything. Now mind you, I have no idea what this spring does and it may be a figment of my imagination but when in "D", is seems to shift at a little higher RPM. Is it possible? What exactly does the spring do? Is it just my imagination?

Higher shifting may be a result of the battery being disconnected and ECU being wiped out. May take a few days for it to get back down to normal while it learns your driving style all over.
I believe the LMS is tied directly into the i-VTEC system so likely impact of the springs wouldn't be noticeable during normal driving. (given that your normal driving doesn't include much time upwards of 4500rpm )

Yep, your imagination. There are 4 LMS in the VTEC valve train. They keep tension between the rocker arm bridge and each of the secondary intake lobes on the cam, so the secondary rocker arm always follows the cam lobe profile. When engine speed goes over about 4000 rpm it's the secondary lobe that takes over operation of the 2 intake valves on each cylinder. There is no relationship to the shift points of the transmission.
