SI and type s transmisson problems ?

[MTuning]

i dunno why but it seems they just can't get the 3rd gear right in any of their past transmission. the recall if i remember correctly is regarding the 3rd gear too.

its not a recall its just a tsb just so a dealer can give diagnosis easier. not all dealers will do the 3rd gear synchro replacement. theres a list of dealers and techs on 8th civic that wont give u a hard time about it.

heres the info on the tsb which is on every page of 8thcivic

yeah its a common problem with our cars... my car has 3rd gear pop out almost everytime i start it up and start driving when its cold... but when i let my car warm up for a few minutes i dont get it.

second gear grind happens sometimes nothing you can really do bout that, notorious problem once again with our tranny

That's bull****, there is a service bulliten out, if you have the problem the dealership is required to fix it. I beleive Scott Honda in West Chester has done a few, they did my friend's 07 coupe no questions asked.

service bulletins are not the same as recalls. the problem has to be mimic with a service tech present and can be denied service.

im telling you now, change the fluid to amsoil tranny fluid. i did at 1500miles, NO problems..

[TunedIS300]

im notchy in 1st at a slow roll and a stop feels locked like hittin a brick wall and wont enage... 3rd and 4th are really easy to get into slides rite in this was rite after redlining and grindin 3rd badly hope theres nothing wrong

[CHR!S]

are you saying that its hard to get into 1st gear when you're rolling? of course it is, thats so you dont fcuk up and downshift into 1st gear going 40mph. grinding once wont really cause any problems, as long as you dont do it constantly

idk. ive been told so many times not to change the tranny fluid unless it really needs to be. but i got to change the oil sometime soon. already have 3500 miles on it.
