I took my wife's SI to our local Clearwater Honda Dealer.

Car had one week of warrenty left (we've owned it for 3 years, 25k miles)

Dealer fixed the car no questions asked. I've had it back for 2 months now and it shifts perfect.

I was worried about the "we need a tech to drive and re-create the problem"

But my dealer took into consideration that my warrenty was allmost up, and just replaced the 3rd gear set .... no hassles.

I wasn't sure if I was going to take it in or not? The problem was never bad but it was definitly a problem. I waited to the last mintue with my 36 month warrenty but finally decided to take the gamble. (The thought of having my transmission taken apart and put back together, worse than it was before concerned me). BUT after missing one or two shifts every other day...... I finally took it in.... I was ready for war! But they fixed it no problem and its great now!

Point of my story... its all about finding a good dealer. Autoway Honda in Clearwater did a great job for me.
