There are hundreds of people on that site that did what you recommended and got the shaft. Don't know what to tell you, you don't want to listen to anyone but yourself. Enjoy YOUR world

 

Intersting, I didnt know that. I agree with the Honda tranny's though, they're pretty ehh. Even the S2000, I have second and third gear grinds, its notchy ass hell, and it's hard to put into gear at times. I need to take it to the dealership.

 

i am just pissing around to a degree, but........... I can almost guarantee that if I took my car in and proved that it popped out of gear they would fix the car.

If the car had drag radials on the front a NOS bottle in the trunk and a bunch of other aftermarket shit they would tell me to go away.

These cars by nature are probably living a tortured life in the hands of younger owners, so misshifting and abuse is not covered by warranties.

How many Honda Civic Si's have been sold? so 1% (100 out of 10,000) have had problems? and of those 100, 2/3 of them are from abuse.... so 33 out of 10,000 have a legit problem?

 

No, that is just people on that site. You think everyone that has the problem is on some forum? Get real dude. It's an issue, and Honda need to correct. i was amazed, myself, at how many people on that site report having the problem. I've never seen such a large problem on a Honda. I'm not on that site all the time so me saying hundreds is a guess at what I've seen. I do know there is some new thread on the clutch in that car, on a regular basis on that site. It's a problem. And yeah you are just pissing around, you don't know what in the hell you are talking about on this unless you have one of these cars or read that site on a regular basis so piss off

 

I have a friend who has never been on that site who has trouble engaging third gear on his '07 Si. He doesn't drive like an idiot and is bone stock. I'm going to help him replace his transmission fluid and hopefully that will help. So 100% of the people I know with Si's have this problem.

 

Well Scot will tell you it's just your buddy with his logic.

Order some Amsoil MTF or the GM synthetic solution and it should help or cure the problem. I had this issue with 3rd gear on my Si. After I swapped in Amsoil MTF, the problem is gone. On 8th civic a lot of people found out that the Honda MTF (not synth) was overfilled from the factory.

 

maybe show your buddy how a manual transmissions works.

 

Mine is a 2003. Was this a common issue?

 

FWIW some of the 04-05 STi 6spd's have synchro problems, esp. from 4th-5th gear....such as the 05 6spd i have in my car

my Evo tranny on the other hand was perfect in 30k miles. and i beat the shit outta that tranny lol

i think when it comes to tranny it's just a matter of luck. at least that's what i keep telling myself.
