3rd gear problem makes the news!!!    (Score: 1, Normal) 02-08-2008 19:14

This aired recently in San Diego, just more ammo to show the dealer if you need them to acknowlege that there is a problem. Also in the March issue of Road and Track there is a mention of the 3rd gear being 'lazy' on their long-term test vehicle. Just some more ammo for you boys and girls.

That's the exact issue I discovered the 'knotchy' 3rd gear during my test drive of my fuji blue si. I was convinced there was a issue and immediately test drove and purchased the 6 speed Accord Coupe instead. After seeing and reading about the issue here, I'm 100% satisfied with my decision.

One of those popping out demonstrations was a 6MT Accord V6. Are they also having issues?

3rd Gear Solution Under Way from the 8th Gen Civic forums. Sounds like it's being acknowledged at the highest levels.

B18, I am glad to see that I was not the only one who saw that too... I have a customer who has put 45k on her 06 Carbon w Black!!! and she has never complained once??? but that video was pretty convincing.
