Ok, anyone else having this problem? If so, how'd you get it fixed. Whether I shift in or out of 5th gear, it feels like it's almost stuck, but it's not. Basically, you have to pull or push harder to shift in or out of 5th gear.

 

I have the same problem too, but only from going to 4th to 5th gear not 6th to 5th. And I have done the tsb 55.

I actually feel like it's harder to shift into 5 gear, and almost makes me wish I could skip 5th gear and go straight to 6th (I don't, because I remember a TSB that recommends that all Honda cars be shifted sequentially, 1,2,3,4,5,(6)...) I never go from 6 to 5 so I couldn't say about that. Any acceleration I do on the freeway means going from 6 to 4. Hopefully that's not what's causing the hard-to-shift 5th gear?

 

Well, I'll find out in a couple of days what's going on, when I bring it to the dealership and let my friend check it out (He's a mechanic there and my personal mechanic outside of his work).

 

seems like the gearboxes are different in europe and in the usa, because I've never heard of any euro user experiencing neither the 1-2 grind, nor this problem...
or maybe the way to use them is different, just
