For a long time I pretty much figured I was a noob(maybe I still am) for not being able to shift properly. It's especially embarassing when your friends are on board all excited and they ask you to do the obligatory iVTEC pull and you grind/misshift. Definitely going to call the dealer tomorrow and see if they try to spin it on me.

I asked this earlier and I'll ask again: Are you experiencing grinding regardless of RPM? I find that it will almost always grind if I shift too soon, and almost never if I shift too late. I'm also very careful to notice if it's not completely engaged, so I've never had it "pop out." The symptoms are almost like the synchros aren't doing their job.

Is this the same thing you're experiencing, or a milder imitation of it?

I was also starting to wonder that as well. If I over rev the engine, it does grab. It is most definitely the syncros. Let's see what happens when they are replaced.

in for the report... Mine has 50 miles on it and I want to be on the lookout for replacements to these problems.

Well it's been about two weeks since my tranny was worked on. They replaced the second and third syncros.

No more notchyness to report. Looks like this is the fix boys and girls.

I'm happy mine was fixed.

i took mines for the first oil change and explain the 3rd gear issue. the advisor advised me he would call and set an appointment and to this day he never did. im not going to be responsible for honda's defect! i want them to fix it!

Ugh, test drove it for the tech today, didn't do it. I guess I get to leave it overnight...

Anyone in Arizona: don't go to Showcase Honda. Their service dept. SUCKS.

^^^ you cant say thaat... they cant fix a problem they cant prove... with all this scare on the net they must get like 10 cases a day that are totaly fake to try and get a free tranny for no reason.

I got mine fixed and like i've said before its the same as it was..., im gonna wait till the tranny grannades my tires lock up and i kill a family of 4, thats what honda is waiting for right?
