Driving on the expressway and the transmission seized up and the vehicle came to an abrupt stop. The vehicle was towed to the dealership and although the vehicle is under warranty the say that the vehicle was abused therefore they will not cover the transmission. Honda has had numerous complains regarding the manual transmissions and the failures that they've had.

I have a 2007 Honda Civic si, since day one I had problems going into 2nd and 3rd gear's. I went to the Honda dealer more then once and they told me there is no problem. . . . Now at almost 48k miles, somethin broke in my transmission while I was driving in the middle of the road and I almost got hit by around 10 cars. . . . I read post all over the internet but still Honda will do nothin about the problem. I even went to the dealer before my warranty was up and still the same thing nothing is wrong. . . . Now I have to look tog et ym transmission rebuilt or look for a new transmission depends if it can be rebuilt. . .

Third gear notchy and sometimes hard to engage and/or grinds, this is a safety hazard and should be addressed. Honda has issued a TSB, but I have taken the car to two different dealers neither could replicate the problem.

Although this defect has not led to a failure of a major drivetrain component (the transmission to be exact), the defect allows excessive wearing of the second gear and synchronizer hub, if the second gear did fail it could result in a crash. The reverse idler gear will contact the second gear while in second gear and making a right turn, this kind of contact will wear the teeth on the reverse idler gear and second gear and could eventually cause one or both to fail.

2007 Civic si is difficult to shift into 3rd gear and grinds. Two attempts have been made to repair the problem by dealer, but the problem came back about 6 months after each repair. Problem started at around 8k miles, was repaired then it recurred at around 15k miles. The odometer is now at 23k miles and the problem has resurfaced. The first repair attempt replaced the 3rd gear syncro. The 2nd repair replace the 3rd & 4th gear syncro and shift fork. I recommend Honda issue a recall for the 6sp manual transmission on the Civic si due to numerous consumer complaints.

2008 Honda Civic si. Grinds in 2nd and in 3rd and pops out of both gears, sometimes under power and others while driving at low speeds. I spoke with the dealer and Honda.

The rpm stays up when you let go of the gas pedal. Some friends that have the same car reported problem as well.

Difficulty shifting to 3rd gear on my 07 Civic si. Some grinding occurs when shifting at times, other times it pops out of gear. I took the vehicle to Honda dealership but nothing was done since they could not replicate what I described the car was doing. Whether Honda dealership can replicate it or not, this is a safety issue particularly while driving in the city were the traffic is heavy most of the time.

My 2002 Honda Civic's transmission went at 95k miles. I have heard that this is a very common occurrence in these cars and this is extremely dangerous and expensive. It cost me $2,100 to get the transmission rebuilt and the part had to be driven from pennsylvania to maine leaving me without a vehicle for a week.

My 2006 Civic si has huge transmission problems. The car has huge issues with second and third gear, at this moment I have no 3rd gear. We have a group of about 2000 people who have signed a petition to Honda for a recall. . Nothing has been done by Honda yet.

My 2001 Honda Civic has only 68,000 miles on it. I drive conservatively and perform regular maintenance. The car's transmission suddenly died completely on a major road in traffic. It was towed to a repair facility that diagnosed the problem. Honda denies there is a problem with 2001 Civic transmissions but I have seen other evidence that this is a widespread problem. It is very dangerous.

3rd gear pops out during normal driving operations. The gear pops out regardless of rpm, speed of travel, or if the gear is actually pushed in all the way.

I have a 2007 Honda Civic si. I have approximately 36600 miles on it and I have been having the 3rd gear syncro issue since summer 2008 (I bought the car 2/2/08. When I took my car in the other day to have them address the 3rd gear syncro issue after they took the car apart they told me my clutch plate was severely warn down and needed to be replaced and that it was not covered under my extended warranty. I asked them if this was caused from the 3rd synchro and I was told "no" but I have been reading that it is a direct result. I am not happy with Honda and they need to include all the gears synchros and the clutch in the TSB. Also the tires wear on inside and I was informed that the si was not included in the TSB because it has a different suspension.

I've had problems with my 2002 Honda Civic ex since day one. Bought it new. Dealer took 3mths. To fix at first. Now, at about 78k mi. , my transmission is not working properly. I'm having trouble shifting to 4th & 5th gear. I don't want to endanger my family in the middle of nowhere. Thank you very much for your concern.

Brand new 2009 Civic si sedan have noticed grinding of 2nd and third gear synchromesh, and also a lot of notchiness while shifting. Brought it to the dealership, they responded that this was normal, under further investigation I found out about a recall on 06-08 transmissions. I feel that the problem that they say was resolved was not. I work on cars so I replaced the manual trans fluid it came out as black as molasses, there is something seriously wrong with my transmission and I dont feel that Honda wants to fix the problem. Now I know there is a problem because I have driven many other sis and the others have an absolutely silk shift. I would appreciate help in posting a bulletin to watch out for the transmissions in the 2009 models they may not be fixed. Please feel free to call me whenever and leave me a message I will get back to you. Sincerely:.

5th gear pops out first the shifter started moving it would move out when I depressed the gas and back in when I released the gas pedal. Now it won't stay in 5th gear on its own it will if you hold the shifter in place. In 05 they replaced components of my gear shift for 2nd & 5th gear because they were popping out this issue started last year and when I asked about it they said it was probably the tranny so I replaced it last August now it won't stay in gear again there are several TSB's on this but none reporting after the repair of the problem continuing the rest of the gears are solid.

I have a 2007 Honda Civic si coupe. This is not my first manual vehicle. I have had trouble shifting into 3rd but did not think anything of it. Just four days ago my car would not shift at all. I had it towed to the Honda dealership and was told that my clutch in a year old car was burned out. They claim that it was not a manufacturers defect so in other words, it is my fault. Upon doing research I see that many others are or have experienced the same problem. I have also learned that this past April Honda issued a recall on vehicles having 3rd gear problems but have not notified all owners of the makes and models covered in the recall. The 3rd gear problem is directly related to the clutch burning out. I am receiving no satisfaction from the dealership and Honda is not owning up to admit that indeed there is a defect.

3rd gear in my 2007 Honda Civic si is hard to shift into. Sometimes the gear pops out of 3rd. This issue has occurred since I've purchased it out the lot brand new. I've made quite a few complaints to the dealership but none have responded to this issue.

I bought my 2007 Honda Civic si on 12/29/07 with approximately 2,200 miles on it. From day one third gear would grind on occasion. On 4/2/08 after having the car 90 days I noticed the clutch slipping. The very next day I left home to go to the Honda dealer to have it checked and didn't make it there. My clutch burnt out. Honda has torn down the transmission and blamed me for "misuse". Honda America has declined any help towards payment. They want $1,400 for a new clutch. I have seen so many people with the same problems as I have had and I think it's about time Honda did the right thing for their owners.

I purchased a 2007 Honda Civic 5spd ex in may of 2007. Ever since I purchased the car I have been having transmission problems with it. At times when I am in first gear and I upshift to second, as soon as I let off of the clutch it will pop out into neutral and my rpms shoot up. Sometimes it will grind when I try to put it into second or third and doesn't want to fully engage. When it does finally go into gear it's real rough and doesn't accelerate at the speed it should, it acts like it doesn't want to go. I have contacted vandergriff Honda where it was purchased, and they said that some of the cars have had that problem and they change the transmission fluid and it's suppose to help, but if it doesn't they might have to pull the transmission out and change 2nd and 3rd gear. They changed my fluid and I am still having the same problem. They are telling me now that it should have fixed the problem and I shouldn't be experiencing it anymore. They also say they can't duplicate the problem. Go figure! I need my car fixed that is the sole purpose of my new car purchase so I wouldn't have major problems like this!! my car now has 15k on it and still has the same problems! please find a fix soon!!.

(a) notchy shifting (b) resistance going into 3rd gear (c) grinding related to 3rd gear (e) transmission kicking out/popping out into neutral from 3rd.

The car was fine for first few hundred miles. Transmission began to shift will excessive force needed. Dealership was advised to change fluid, which seemed to work for very few miles. Very difficult to shift into second and third gear. Third gear will actually "pop out" at various times. This has caused me to make dangerous maneuvers in and out of traffic. Dealership cannot "replicate" problem is the usual excuse.

This problem relates to the 06-08 Civic si's, I have an si) s2000's, rsx's accords and any cars with a Honda 6 speed transmissions. This is in regards to grinding and popping out of gears, along with a general "notchy" feel. This primarily happens when the vehicle is cold, however it still does happen when the vehicle is completely warmed up.

2007 Honda Civic si, complaint is regarding the manual transmissions 3rd gear engagement. At times its engagement may vary from being tight to grinding and may even disengage or (pop out of gear). This may lead to a momentary lapse in concentration and at times a somewhat loss of control of the vehicles driveability when this occurs abruptly and unexpectedly. If this event occurs at an inappropriate time when driving, it is my opinion that it may have the potential to lead to accident's causing injury.

07 Civic si shifting into 3rd gear sometimes doesn't happen causing loss of power at bad times as entering intersection or highway makes grinding sound as in missed shift pops out of gear wont let you shift into gear will be going to dealer to have checked out.

Just recently, my 2001 Honda Civic was having a problem while driving. When I was in 5th gear driving down the highway, the shifter would "pop" out of 5th and go into neutral. I thought that I didn't have it all the way into 5th gear, so I pushed it back into 5th and continued to drive. Just a few minutes later, it happened again, and again, and again. I had to hold it in 5th gear for 2 hours while driving down the road. When I got home I did some research and found out exactly what it was. It was the synchronizer in my transmission that was the cause of the problem. I found out that the only way to fix the problem was to have the transmission rebuilt. This is a very pricey task, and way out of my price range. My car just hit 69,000 miles just a day ago. According to everyone I've spoken with, the transmission should not have problems with a car this old and with this many miles on it.

(1) normal driving of manual transmission. (2) everyday while accelerating from a stop 3rd gear misses, doesn't lock into gear, or pops out of gear and grinds. As a result, the vehicle is difficult to drive and backs up traffic due to the slow acceleration.

Third gear of this car frequently pops out of gear and grinds getting into that gear.

Excessive problems with transmission. Particularly third gear, when attempting to put shift lever into third gear synchronizers grind and on occasion shift lever pops from gear into neutral.

My transmission is giving problems when driving my 2007 Honda Civic si. To be more specific my 3rd gear pops out when it's engaged and it seems dangerous and Honda of America has not put out a recall for this.

My 2006 Honda Civic si has problems with gears one (1) through four (4). The biggest problem is the lack of smooth shifting and erratic grinding resulting from shifting through those gears. Grinding occurs when the vehicle is at a stop and the clutch is shifted from neutral to first (1). Grinding also occurs when the vehicle is in motion and shifted from first (1) to second (2), second (2) to third (3), and third (3) to fourth (4). The grinding is most prevalent in the second (2) and third (3) gears, with first (1) and fourth (4) being more minimal. The grinding is also most prevalent during cold weather and/or when the car was not given time to warm up. In addition to the grinding issues of the manual transmission of my 2006 Civic si, surging and jerkiness can be felt from neutral to first (1) and first (1) to second (2). Notchiness can also be felt within gears one (1) through four (4).

1st gear locks out on a dead stop, which means if I were on a hill, I would try to go into 1st gear, and instead of going into first, I roll back and hit whatever is behind me if I cannot catch it in time. 3rd gear kicks back and grinds, which may lead to being rear ended if the driver behind me does not notice this.

Transmission: shifter sometimes catches (10-15% of attempts) when shifting into 3rd gear. The problem is worse when the weather is cold. The dealer was advised and acknowledged problem but no solution is currently available.
