What Happened:
I spoke to a very friendly guy who took down all of my information, registered my complaint and spoke to me for a coupe of minutes about his experience. He said that they had been receiving a lot of complaints about the car, and that several of his co-workers who had Civic Si's were also experiencing the problem.
He told me about the TSB to replace the MTF, and I explained I had heard of the switch but was very cautious to switch after hearing everyone's problems come back. I said I would rather have the car fixed outright than have a temporary solution.
He specifically said that Honda of America is aware of the problem, but he has only heard by ear that there will be a TSB release within the next few months specifically regarding the 3rd gear. He indicated that it would be targeted at the transmission itself, not the fluid.
Very pleasant, helpful call. Honda is aware at the very least, and recognizes the issue.
