I suspect that the faulty syncro is present on all 2006-2007 (and some 2008) Si models. Why some of us have problems and others don't is utterly beyond me. There are so many potential reasons with no definitive answers.
My feeling on it is this: I think Honda started manufacturing the 2008 Si models (after the TSB's VIN range) with the new parts. This effectively tells me they know the part is faulty. I think that right there warrants ALL 2006+ transmissions being ripped apart, whether its problematic or not. They've admit, through action, that there is a fauly syncro in 3 and 4 (gears).
The process has not, and I doubt will, change. You have to go to the dealer, get them to replicate it (easier said than done, it took me almost 20 visits and much frustration), and then they will take care of it.

20 visits! How did you finally make them realize the truth? Can you tell us what happened in your mult-visit adventure? i.e. did you leave the car there, take a drive with the tech etc?
thanks.
