Anyone else have this problem?

it rarely ever does it, but I don't like it doing it at all.

anyone have any idea why it's doing this, and anyone have any idea how much it would cost to have made right?

 

How many miles are on the car?

You might want to start with changing the MTF first and see if that helps.

Most people go with the Honda MTF and it does seem to help.

i have the same problem???
44,000 miles
bought it used

 

is it a random gear each time it kicks out? or is it the same gear the shifter gets kicked out each time?

 

mm 1st gear (once, but i guess it was due to not fully inserting the gear)
& 2nd sometimes if i dont keep my hand on the knob

 

On 2004 and early 2005 model, there's a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) for popping out of 2nd gear under deceleration while in gear. The TSB # is 05-009.

I had mine fixed under warranty.


05-009
Transmission Pops Out of 2nd Gear
SYMPTOM
The transmission intermittently pops out of second
gear on high RPM deceleration.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Replace the countershaft 1st gear and the 2nd
gear set.

It's done it with 1st, and 4th that I remember - it seems like there were other gears that did it also.

 

Mine has about the same mileage on it...

 

Has the MTF been changed in the car? Start with the basics. Change the MTF and see if that helps the issue. There are many here that have just changed the fluid and the problem went away. Here is a DYI https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?act=S...22&t=565855&st= . Its easy to do yourself and it only cost about $12 for the MTF.

Try it.

I think I will.

I wanna get my hands dirty more with this car than with previous cars I've owned.
