Manual Transmission Problems of Honda Accord

The third gear in Honda Accord 2007 v6, manual transmission pops out that can be a potiential safety hazard. Upon investigation found that this problem is present in all 6 speed manual transmission Honda civic, Accord, and Acura fom 2002 to 2007. My research found that this issue has been a probem with even brand new Honda. Honda has issued a TSB, but it refuses to fix the problem the moment warranty has expired. This can cause potential rear ending in on ramp.

@120000 the transmission in our 2004 Honda Accord went out with no warning at all. If the traffic was not light at the time someone could have been hurt. Honda did not tell us of a transmission problem. We replaced the trans. And 50000 miles later the 2nd trans. Went out. (same problem). Honda knows they have a transmission problem,but want step up and make it right.

I had a 2010 Accord, after 400-600 miles I started getting the clicking sound when turning left everytime. I took the vehicle into the dealer the first time and they did not fix the issue. The second time I took it in around 1200 miles. This time they found the issue to be the reverse gear fork. There was an internal spring that had broke. Thankfully it's under warranty, they put a new reverse gear fork in and no problems since. Noise has gone.

I own 2003 Honda Accord, which I just recently discovered has history of transmissions problems, but did not know that at the time of purchase. I was driving the vehicle on busy highway about 45 miles per hour and without any warning whatsoever the vehicle felt like it had been hit in the rear and then rapidly decelerated. I maintained control of the car and managed to get it off the side of the road, but was quite fortunate that there was no vehicles immediately following me otherwise it could quite likely have resulted in an accident. Since this initial incident, it has occurred, though infrequently until quite recently. I am quite concerned that one of these times I will be less fortunate and will be involved in an accident of one or more vehicles. After the first experience of this nature, I brought the 2003 Honda Accord in at a local dealership for its most recent oil change. I asked them if they had any other reports of similar incidents that involve a "hit" feeling along with rapid deceleration. They of course said no but would check into it while going through the standard oil change and inspections. After waiting a considerable length of time, the dealership service representative told me that the transmission needed to be replaced, and they would be in contact with Honda corporate to see what type of compensation they as a dealership could get. I was just informed yesterday that Honda estimates the replacement cost for the transmission to be over $3000 and they have offered to compensate about $1000 leaving the balance an out of pocket expense to myself as the owner. I suspect at this point Honda does not fully understand the safety hazard this is causing myself and the passenger of the vehicle. Only to make matters worse, I have my daughter driving also a 2003 Honda Accord, nearly the identical vehicle, and she just informed me that her Accord which she has at college has been building engine rpms and then jerking through gear changes.

Third gear constantly pops out of gear upon slower/normal acceleration. The fluid was changed at approx 12k miles, third gear synchro was replaced at approx 15k, and now around 19k it is happening again. . Major safety concern as car wont accelerate in neutral.

My car is Accord 2004 ex - 4 cylinder - approx 86k miles - manual transmission. My car started jerking about a month ago when I switch gear to 4th and 5th gear. I brought it to my mechanic who said that it is a transmission problem. I thought he was joking because I thought it was a fuel injection issue. . Read more...

The contact owns a 2002 Honda Accord. While driving 45 mph, the transmission began jerking and the acceleration was gradual. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that the transmission needed to be rebuilt. The repair was completed in April of 2008. The failure mileage was 58,900.

Vehicle pops out of third gear and acceleration is stopped abruptly due to this defect causing a significant chance of rear end crashes every time it occurs. Vehicle is 2008 Honda Accord ex v6 6 speed manual transmission. This is a serious defect and fits the criteria for a safety recall on both concerns, I. E. , "poses an risk to motor vehicle safety, and "may exist in a group of vehicles of the same design or manufacture, or items of equipment of the same type and manufacture". Honda knew of this problem in 2007 civic manual transmissions and ignored the problem and continued to put the defective transmissions in the 2008 Accords and civics. Finally after a consumer demonstration in California and coverage by the local media, Honda issued a Honda service bulletin 08-020 that replaces the defective transmission parts. I believe this should be a manufacturer recall based on the number of complaints listed here where the consumer writes that they believe it is a serious safety concern and that they were almost involved in an accident because of the problem. Too many near misses to ignore. Also, because it fits the criteria listed on this website for a like defect in a "group of vehicles". I hope it doesn't take a death or serious injury to require Honda to issue a recall for the defective models. We all know money is the determining factor and basis for their decision and if left to them, they would never issue one. I am thinking to burn my new Honda Accord which has less that 7000 miles on it and is currently at first team Honda in chesapeake, virginia with a bad transmission. I am so disgusted with paying over 32 thousand dollars and getting a lemon and vehicle that will need to have the transmission removed already. Honda doesn't care about the consumer anymore, only the $$$. Help for a recall please ! I think I will construct a website to publicize this travesty and gain support for the burning of my Honda. Maybe something like Hondaburn. Com.

Manual shift from 2nd gear to 3rd gear occasionally hits a notch going into 3rd. When you release the clutch assuming you are in 3rd, the gears grind loudly and the shift lever is thrown forcibly back to neutral, leaving you without power. The car has only 3,000 miles on it. The Honda dealer and Honda America say that the transmission is designed to operate this way, that this is not a defect covered under the warranty and that there is nothing to repair.

I purchased a brand new 2006 Honda Accord, with a 4 cylinder engine and 5 speed manual. The car is a lx special edition, with a 2. 4 liter, 4 cylinder. The car has burned excessive amounts of oil since day one. It burns more than 2 quarts of oil between each oil change. At first I thought it was due to the thin oil that is required and that it was just the break in, but it keeps getting worse. I have run the factory Honda oil and filter and the problem keeps getting worse. This oil change I tried mobil 1 synthetic oil in the recommended weight, but it did not help. The oil is at 50% and the car has already burned over 1 quart of oil with just over 20,000 miles on the car. I have done all of the required oil changes at the proper intervals. The cars transmission is also abnormally stiff when it is warming up. A friend of mine was able to insist that they rebuild his manual transmission for similar problems. The excessive oil burning is the problem I am writing about though.

The car began to jerk suddenly and without warning. It would "choke" when the accelerator was pressed or when car was in gear shift change. The car would jerk a significant distance, almost to the point where it could have hit another car. It stalled often, especially after being at a traffic light waiting for it to change. I immediately took the car in for a diagnosis and was told that it was a transmission defect and the entire transmission would have to be replaced. I then called the american Honda service contract corporation to see what steps needed to take place in order to repair the problem. I contacted a local Honda dealership to set up repair. I am currently in wait on their decision as to whether or not they will repair it. I have full coverage under my extended warranty.

I owned a 2004 Honda Accord 2 door coupe. I filed for lemon law because american Honda refused to fix a major transmission oil leak in the car. I have won the lemon law case, but when I found out that american Honda was not going to recall all the cars with that transmission, I felt like I had to do something. The problem is due to a low vent valve on the six speed manual transmission. The manual transmission only holds 2 quarts of oil. I purchased the car in 9/2004. From 9/2004 to 9/2005, I witnessed well over a quart of oil spill out and onto the bottom of the transmission and engine. I have a detailed outline that I can e-mail you on request outlining all of the visits to the dealership and the outcome of each visit. The location where this oil comes out, is also where the clutch is located. I had noticed clutch slippage soon after buying the car. I am assuming the clutch was slipping due to the oil soaking the clutch plate and disk. I would like to see a full recall done on all of these transmissions. American Honda admitted that they have modified the 2005 transmission to resolve this issue, but will not recall the old transmission.

Manual transmission has been having ongoing problems with its shifting very hard into gear, mostly in low or reverse gears. Vehicle was serviced 3 times. Dealership has indicated that no mechanical problem was found. They changed the transmission fluid and lubricated the shifter linkage, but the failure recurred.

Without any warning, my clutch went out my gear shift locked up and the car died in the middle of a very busy thoroughfare in dallas. After the service center received the car they said that the master and slave cylinder were defective.
