Six years of this crap and they are just now coming out with a supposed fix. It'd be nice if they had their reps in-the-know, as I've heard some Honda reps say there is no such thing and they've never heard of third gear, some who have heard of third gear but said there is no fix, and those who claim there is a fix coming but have no idea when it is coming.
I believe something is coming, because my technician, who I trust, said ISIS and the Honda Tech Line had something on there, they just didn't have dates.
If there are reps on this site, I'd sure love if it they'd pass the problems that we keep finding continuously onto someone who can do something, because some of these problems are flat out unacceptable and humiliating.
But my biggest question is this: What happens when this fix comes out? Do all new Si's from the factory get this? Do none of them get it and they still throw the same potentially problematic tranny in the car and wait for a problem? If the former is the case, are they doing recalls on ALL Si's for this? I'd have restored faith in Honda if they did that, but I highly doubt any company is going to voluntarily recall 48,000 vehicles and replace their transmissions with better parts.
Still, wishful thinking. It'd make me feel better about the company that, to me, is synonymous with incredibly fun to drive cars, but prone to countless rattles and questionable build.
