I Am So Tired Of Honda!!!!my Car Is In The Service Department Again!!!my Clutch Went Out Again And Considering My Third Gear Popped Out Or Made A Loud Grind 50% Of The Time, I Knew This Was Bound To Happen. I Warned The Service Department About This Problem And The Guy Said "all You 08 Accord Owners And Si Owners Come In Here Complaining About Your Third Gear And Its Because You Guys "race" Your Cars.!!wtf!!!wouldnt That Give Him A Clue That Something Is Wrong With The Civic Si?!now They Want Me To Pay 1200 To Get It Fixed. So Then Next Month , Who Knows, Maybe Homda Will Admit Their Is A Problem And I Would Have Already Paid!!

I have filed a complaint with the California new motor vehicle board, have filed a complaint with the NHTSA,have complained to the service dept,GM,HONDA AMERICA,I am about to file a complaint to the BBB, and I am contacting a lawyer. Although a lawyer said if I pay for the repairs, then I am admitting I must have messed up the clutch. I am hoping that Honda comes out with a recall as I strongly believe this is a safety issue and it is very frustrating.I feel like calling the MEDIA to record me as I am leaving the dealership with my car on a tow truck because Honda is refusing to pay for the reapairs, even though I was in there several times with the car and they were never able to duplicate the problem.

You should try using the rebuttal my wife used when the dealer attempted to blame it on us. I don’t only drive in 3rd why is it only 3rd is having a problem. If you were racing your car as the dealer claims, you would certainly shift it in and out of all the gears aggressively, so why is only 3rd having a problem. Of course all us SI owners know the answer to that, there's something wrong with 3rd! We've had our car back a full week now and 3rd is still smooth with no issues.

what is rebuttal? I am probably going to have to go through arbitration because they refused today to pay for the costs. I am in contact with the California New motor vehicle board and she is now referring me to the BBB AUTOLINE

signed and so disappointed.....Not only do I have tranny issues, now Honda is sending a wrecker to tow my car this morning due to a BAD misfire that just decided to pop its head up when I started the car. 4500 miles

Does this transmission problem effect the 08' Si's as well?

I was considering trading my 06 EX for an 08 Si but if it's going to be a problem....

YAH YAH!!!, take that honda...

well when you just finish dropping around $20+k you would expect 2 have a properly working gearbox instead you go to your dealer and flat out are lied to about the issue. Honda just has to fix it in the quickness.:wai ting:

[SOLO8thGenSi]

we need 1000 to make any sort of impact... lol i wish.

this is prolly all falling on deaf ears i think. but good to have it documented anyways. never EVER hurts to try at the very least.

[thechuck916]

I have a question. Does this relate to the 07 si? i got a four door and i got like 28000 miles.. Every time im in vtech(about 7500 rpm) in 1st gear and i try to shift to 2nd it grinds... if anyone knows please let me know befor my warranty goes out!

[silverspoon1996]

Like Clockwork .. I hit 3500 and It did it for the first time.. I looked down like i did something wrong and ive been drivign stick for years.. no signs leading up besides the fact its kinda "Klunky" in the morning when its really cold in the AM in the NE.
