I am bringing mine to Stevens creek, and I spoke with Manager of the service department there, and he was saying its a good idea to wait a little while and dont bring it in right away because, really do you want your car to be one of the FIRST transmissions to be disassembled? He said he would order the parts for me and call me when they arrive later in the week, and he'd let me know how the cars that have the service run and make sure he would get me an appointment with someone with the experience of doing the 3rd gear service. *SHIT that was long sorry!*
lol but anyways, yeah go to Stevens creek and ask to speak to Dave the service manager hes really nice!

i'll let you know how that turns out. i'm talking with him on wednesday for the same issue. i had the "new" MTF fix, but the problem came back. i talked to Ray at SC honda, and he said honda frowns on aftermarket fluids (i have royal purple)... they're gonna get an earful from me. they haven't ordered the parts for me yet, because they wanna "reconfirm" my tranny grinding.. what a load of BS..
i'm gonna be there around 11-11:15 hopefully.
and from past experience, i've been treated like sh!t there.. maybe it's because i'm only 20? regardless it's unacceptable..

Did you get the mtf tranny oil tsb applied to your car and did it stop the 3rd gear issue? I did and it 'masked' it.. But I now want the fix? I don't think a tech could reproduce as the new tranny oil is masking the problem currently.. I didn't see the 3rd gear issue until like 22k miles on my car and on my oill... Hmmm, I have the slip showing that they reproduce the 3rd gear issue.. etc.. Hope this and some convo works out.
You present a good point about being a test dummy. I agree and will wait a bit. Thanks for your lengthy response and info :). Look forward to hearing from everyone else..
This is the last issue I have been having w/ my Si and I hope to get her fixed up so she never has to see a dealer again.

my problem came back.. my royal purple MTF is masking the problem pretty well also, i'm gonna have a tough time proving the grinding again.. wish me luck! looks like i'll be the test dummy, hopefully. you might have to "reconfirm" the problem also.. so messed up, i was already documented there also..
i hope this is the last issue also, but i doubt it..
by the way guys, i'm brandon from cupertino.
