Great find, thanks for the post! Are there any TSB's for 2nd gear shift? I've got more problems going from 1st->2nd than I do going from 2nd->3rd

Oh and update: I just called my dealership. Bringing my car tomorrow morning for the TSB fix, they said it should take a few hours I can pick up my car in the afternoon. I also told them to look at the 2nd gear.

Hopefully they won't do any BS on me and pull one of those "We can't replicate the problem sorry we kept your car for a day while you hitch rides" move, because I'll never buy a Honda again if that happens...

Great, what if we're starting to see an occasional slight grind in 3rd gear and our 08's vin is out of the TSB's range......

I just took my car to the dealership today and brought the TSB with me. The tech. took my car for a drive and then took another SI for a spin to compare the two. The service manager said that they would order the parts and give me a call once it comes in. It was an easy process. Can't wait!

Pir8pete · 04-15-2008, 05:54 PM
