Is there a TSB out for 3rd yet?!

Its all over the net, this forum, Acura forums, but you have to know what you are looking for. Read, read, read. Then believe. You have found the souce of the information you seek, and the result will blow you away.
Your (permanent) solution, if you still have low miles (say less that 10K), is to change the Honda MTF to a GM product (yeah, I didn't believe it either, but again, read, read, read) called Syncromesh with Friction Modifier. Did it in mine, and 3rd gear is smooth, and back with a vengence. After 3rd, my 5th started to show similar behavior, and now all gears are smooth. Read, read, read, and then you will believe what I (am preaching) because the lord (new fluid) is truely our savior.
I s you not! I hope this help you, because it sure did me, and now I can truely say, I love this damn Si. Love it.
