Honda TSB 08-020 April 12, 2008 (3RD GEAR) - Page 8

tehcodeman · 04-13-2008, 04:28 PM

it was second gear where the technique arguments came in. hopefully third gear popouts weren't blamed on technique...

***Civicn33b*** · 04-13-2008, 04:35 PM

i guess there is no hopes for me getting my synchro replaced due to my short shifter and such?!

lionelp · 04-13-2008, 04:45 PM

go back to stock?

melomood · 04-13-2008, 04:56 PM

2nd gear is way worse then 3rd, and its not technique it b.c they over fill there trannies with fluid, so how i that our fault.

either b!tch at them, or yeah go back to stock. a short shifter should be ok.. but don't give you stealership more ammo than necessary..

***Civicn33b*** · 04-13-2008, 04:59 PM

i doubt theyd notice really dont you guys?! anyways if they try and blame it on that couldnt i just pull the moss act and say that "they put out this bullitin bc its a problem with all SI's and your saying the SS is the issue?"

dragonzsoul · 04-13-2008, 05:00 PM

just in case... better safe than sorry, you'll save yourself some time from yelling at them. most dealerships frown on mods, certain really awesome dealers actually support them

True. going back to stock would be a good idea.

tehcodeman · 04-13-2008, 05:15 PM

I doubt they'd notice the SS. I have one and there's no way I'm trading it out for stock again.

One thing I've never understood is how Honda (dealership or whatever) can have the nerve to frown upon mods after they release "Honda Nation" commercials that are devoted to the whole tuning culture.

***Civicn33b*** · 04-13-2008, 05:23 PM

well they definately wont like the fact that im boosted =)

Really, at 9? How did your parents allow you to drive cars at that age?

I'm here, trust me. I'm never far away. People on the site may hate me, but they're always ready to come to me when the problems start and they need information

.

It is legit. I called my dealership (who was supposed to call me when this fix came out, hahahaha), and I told them the bulletin number. He pulled it up on screen and said it's right in front of him.

It's going in on Monday.

Lucky you.

But as this is a TSB, it is only for affected models. If your car's transmission doesn't have any problems [that you know of], you're good to go and it doesn't apply to you.

Even though I still think everyone of these cars has a bad syncro for third...
