They obviously need to replicate the problem for honda to fix it. But i asked him if all the people that work at the dealership that own SI's had theres fixed and he said yes.
Basically they will take apart the trans and replace the 3rd gear and syncros. So it looks like this is for real and they are fixing the problem. I believe that this is on a customer complaint basis only right now. There is not a bulletin or a recall as of yet and supposibly there will be some kind of Honda USA bulletin or recall in January.
There will be more to come as i find out guys. I hope they can "Replicate" it.....

"Flash Program"? Is that just what there calling their plan to fix the problems?
I'm glad to hear they are fixing your 3rd gear and syncros and would love to hear back from you after you get to the car back and see if the problem is gone. But if all they are doing is replacing the original parts with new ones (of the same exact design) I don't see how that gonna fix anything. I really hope Honda has known about this problem and has been working on the redesign of parts to fix it, and isn't just planning on rebuilding our tranny's with the same exact parts.
And as far as complaining to our dealers, I and many others have and they have all said the similar things. If they don't have an official bulletin or recall then they can't do anything for free. I guess we will just be waiting in the mean time...
