About 2 weeks ago. The parts are in, I just found out today. I am going to take my car in next week. I dont have time with the big meet coming up. TO much shit to do.

Im not really worried about it. The dealership I go to tkes care of me. I told them about the 3rd gear issue when I had ~ 1000 miles on the car. They realized the problem and replicated it at around 26,000 miles. Though I was the first person to complain about it, I was not the 1st person to bring them the TSB info. They are doing my car befroe anyones so I will be the first person getting it done there. Cant wait to see what it feels like.

I brought my car in last Friday to Ed Voyles honda in atlanta and they had the gear set in stock and had my car done in 3 hours! Could not say enough how great that dealership is and how surprised I was to have a new 3rd gear set installed in less than a day. And What A difference. Car Drives like it should, its finally fun to to rip through the gears without the worry of sheering a syncro! Thanks Honda for listening

WTF?!?! i keep getting told that the damn parts are on backorder and yet there are dealers that have them in stock. youre lucky that your dealer's cool like that. i had to beg and plead for my damn dealership to get it done and now its been 3 freaking weeks.
