I reported the problem during the first free dealer oil/filter chg. They said they could not duplicate the problem. Second oil/filter free dealer's, I was told that there was a TSB to change out the MTF. It was fine for about 500 miles when the problem came back. Third dealer O/F chg two weeks ago at 15k. I reported the same problem. My car was scheduled in for tranny overhaul last week. Last Friday they called and said replacing the third gear and synchro did not correct the problem. Disassembled a second time and added a shim but made it worse. They ordered a new tranny; put it in today. Happy to report, problem is gone, third gear smoothly engages as with all other gears. The part number of the original defective tranny is PNN4-1013621. The new tranny installed is PNN4-1015503. Good luck to everyone.

Did anyone skip over this post? It just seems everyone went right by this ... any one that works at Honda that can look up that part number and give us the details?
