why would i do that if i will probably run into the same problem again? might as well build the tranny so it can take abuse... from what i heard i messed them up from "shifting too fast"..

the answer to your problem. in 01 there was a TSB sent out by honda that the 3rd gear shift fork was bent at time of install from the factory. it worked for some time till there was wear put on the trans and on its internal componets. i also have an 01 it has done it for the last 30k miles i have been driving it. there is no recall do to the fact that it is not a safty issiue. call your closest honda dealer or even better stop by and ask them for a print off of the TSB on the 3rd gear problem. it will tell in detail what you need to do to fix the problem. hope this helps you. dont waste your money on a used one it will happen again.
