Sound like part of a late night google image search ?? Well, it's not...

Some of you may remember my 3rd gear problem, and subsequent replacement...
well it's been shifting smooth ever since and I was sure things were on the mend. Saturday as I left a friends house I noticed a strange whining coming from the trans.
The sounds got louder as I proceeded home and eventually became a grinding and the shifter began shooting out randomly. I had to nurse it home and by that point it sounded like rocks in a dryer anytime I let the clutch out.

So, for the 5th time in 3 months I'm in a loaner car from the dealership waiting to hear about how bad it is this time.

Well, it's settled; I'm done with Honda. From the rattles, poor trim quality/fitment, suspension noise and of course the 3rd gear, I'm fed up.

I expect more form a company that markets itself as a reliable carmaker. I think I'll just go back to Nissan...
