I wanna say 800 is right around what you should pay for a brand new one if honda made one and just wanted to sell it to you outright. you could do what Honda did for me; they put in a remanufactured (not by honda) tranny. which means it was serviced with parts that are o.e.m quality or better. I got mine through Howard Engineering 1-800-647-7058 <<<try them if you want to ensure that your 'new' tranny will not encounter the same problem.

Well, I've also had issue with my 5sp. I gotten around the shifting into second issue by double clutching. I double clutch out of habbit anyways. I get bucking when going into 2nd gear most of the time.
My gut tells me honda changed the matels they used in the tranny and didn't compensate properly for how different metals interact under varies temps. I would like to know if there still using brass for the syncros.
I bought a certified used 01 with 20k on it....they gave me a warranty up to 100k. I currently have 85k. I think I'm going to start complaining about the tranny now and get that biatch replaced before I'm out of coverage.
yea, mine has problems going into reverse too! sometimes it takes 2 or 3 times for it to get in there, it will grind, it will go in and then rev but not back up! i want to take it in but from the sound of things the peeps at Honda are b1tches.
i am not too familiar with the tranny...will getting a new clutch help any of ours problems or is there more to it???? i was planning on getting a new clutch so i did not know if it was worth it or if i should go check and see how my tranny is first!

yea, same here, the reverse is a common problem too, just as common as the 2nd-3rd gear grinding, and yea, i took mine in, but its on a 3 week wait, now i have a week left til they look at it and decide if ther gona fix it or not, cuz its out of warranty, but only 42K miles, so honda of america may help me out, i wanted to have a good workin tranny before i trurbo'd it, but if ther not gonna fix it, its gettin sold, and im gonna probly get an integra, they have better trannies

Transmission Rebuilt after two years of frustrations and being ignored by Honda.
p.s. Why don't you send the other post about the tranny while your at it. The one I started. (The huge one!) It explains it all man. Honda needs to pay for this and hopefully it gets them it the pocketbook before it's all over.
I think the moral of the story is 01+ hondas are pieces of sh!t
