Well what I think the service manager meant when he told me about it is that this is in fact an official Honda response to the 3rd gear issue. I mean, he was on the phone with some corporate guy while I waited, then he checked the computer and then he showed me the bulletin he was seeing. Then he explained to me what will happen but that the parts are still being manufactured and won't be ready until sometime after the new year. These parts are entirely newly fashioned transmission parts to replace the old ones. It is basically like overhauling your transmission, but not replacing the whole thing entirely. I do not think they are going to be the same exact parts, because what will the point of that be?...And about the wavered service and parts fees - I guess it all depends on who is running the service department at your dealerships and how well they treat you - but my guy assured me that Honda will take care of this for me without me having to worry about the expenses. Whatever the case, I'll update later with new information. I understand the skepticism, but I'm hopeful it will work out.
