Hello, I'm new here.

I just put down a 500 dollar deposit last week for an 2008 Rallye Red Civic Si Coupe. Recently I found about this 3rd Gear issue, and I'm very interested in knowing if it has been fixed on brand new cars. I've seen people with 08's complaining, and as I said before, I went last week to the dealer but they didn't have any Red Si Coupes, so I've been waiting. I just don't want to spend 23,500 and see that after a 1000 miles it fails. That's not Honda at all. I love the brand, the car and the fact that the 2.0 liter has V-TEC which makes it incredibly unique and fun. This will be my first new car so, I hope I don't make a mistake.

Thanks for reading me out, and sorry if I sound noobish, but I AM a car enthusiast, it's just I've recently got into Hondas.

ask for your VIN number and see if it falls into this range.

2008 Civic Si 2-Door:
From VIN 2HGFG215.8H700001
thru 2HGFG215.8H701973

Thanks a lot for the info man.

I have a weird update :S, I just called the dude that I ordered the car from and he said it is going to take around 3 weeks for them to receive my car. HE didn't explain why. Maybe Honda IS fixing the issue.

By the way, I'm from Houston, TX and you're from Cypress which isn't really that far xD.


Again thanks.

I've had no problem with third gear on this car. I have missed third gear on occasion if my timing is off but based on my experience with this transmission I find it quite acceptable if not better than many transmissions/shifters I have driven over my 40 years of driving performance automobiles.

If you have a problem with your Honda and your dealer sucks.
the best way to get it fixed is to call HONDA at 800-999-1009
and set up a case with a rep and they will help you.
remember your HONDA is owned by some one who is in it for the
money.

I am number 1299. I am pretty sure there are more than 1299 people in this forum...
I barely have this car for one month, and I have experienced problems since day 1.

Actually no one else needs to sign. There was a TSB released on 4/12/08.

I am pretty sure this thread was created only for the third gear problem...

I don't have that problem (yet) but I still have problems with 2nd and 6th...

This thread calls for a fix to the whole transmission...

I'm afraid of this thing just turning into another extend the warranty type deal and nothing really happens. I wish you luck, but I'm not going to hold onto the car long enough to be of any help, I think. Never will I buy another Honda with a 6 speed though that's for sure.

I'm dropping my car off on June 9th, to fix the 3rd gear issue... Right when I get it back ill let you guys know and ill drive it for like a week and post again an update.. Let's hope it really works

Just got my car out of the shop. Honda had it for about 3 days but everything is well. Before it when into the shop they had to order all the parts which were on national back order. If anyone else is taking there's in I will recommend taking it in ASAP so they can get your parts order which will take a good month or so.........

[lolwtf]

will they provide you loaners if your car needs to be fixed?
