03 5spds...
any one else having this prob?
i have an 03 lx coupe 5spd
every now and then when i shift from first to second, (bout 1/4 way through the shift) the shifter will lunge or push its self pretty hard into nutreul? and the clutch dosnt seem to engauge and dis enguage normally.....
the cars been doin it since it was new and ive had it check twice and bitched to american honda bought it.... (so its on record when the damn thing blows up) and the answere i always get is theres no service bullitens about it and they cant duplicate customer concern................
and my rear bumper sagged inward were the bumper and car body met on both sides.....
my first answere on this one was it was due to the extreme heat in az.... then after bitchen to american honda the dealer told me it was a honda deffect and that all honda will do that because of what the bumpers are made out of,,,,,

Show this to your dealer and dare them to refuse you any warranty service for this prob.

Rep Power: 0 This is an early version of the TSB, but I think if your 03 has this problem, you can use it too.
I don't think Honda has completely solved this problem yet (even for the 03's), based on the number of complaints I see here.
