Don't bother. I took my FG2 to Hinshaws three times complaining about the 3rd gear. Best answer I got was it's normal for the SI's can you beleive it.

I took it to Renton. They rebuilt my tranny. Never had a problem until my accident took my car out.

So far I don't have it on the FA5 but if I do I'll take it to Renton.

Oh if they don't find the problem call American Honda and complain. They will log it in their computer by your vin number. I did that before I took it to Renton. Honda said if they don't find it call back and we will get it taken care of. Believe me Honda knows its a problem. Dealers won't do anything about it unless they can recreate it on their two minute drive. Drive with them for 15 minutes until it does it. Be in the passenger seat and watch and listen. No radio no talking just keep going from a dead stop to 3rd and back down again until it does it.

Good luck.
