3rd Gear snychro for 08' Si 4dr

Luv2Huvr · 11-19-2009

New to the forum here.

Just bought a 08' Si sedan. Felt that the shift in to 3rd was a little tight. When I took it to Honda they told me that it has a service bulletin. In other words its not officially a recall yet...
They have to drop the transmission out and replace the synchronizer for the third gear. Its all being done under warranty and I'm getting a rental car for 2days.

Has any one else had this happen? How did your car run, drive, shift afterword? And have you had any complications since?

Thanks,

Chris

My 07 Si Sedan has the same issue but it's spotty. It doesn't happen all the time but it happens none-the-less. I'll be going to the dealer this Friday for an alignment issue. I plan to bring this to their attention, I'm sure they'll deny it as well.
