Default Having problems with my trannie

Hey everyone, I wanted some input. I have a 2000 that I have had for 4 months. A couple months ago I noticed that I was having problems with 3rd gear, it would grind alot. I took it to the dealer, and they checked it out and they said there was no problem with it. I told them about TSB 055, they said that it didn't apply to my vin. Two weeks later, I was driving and I noticed my gears were staring to feel kinda sticky. The didn't want to go in properly. Then after a while, it wouldn't go into 6th at all. I decided to take it to the dealer. A different one this time. They ended up replacing the synchros in 2nd, 3rd, and 6th. No I feel like the gears are sticking again. I get grinding in fourth even with the clutch all the way down. Please advise what I should do now.

Jackie,

If I were you I would just take it back to the dealer if its under warranty. Just let them know whats going on. Its obviously something in the tranny causing the problem that they didnt fix before. Why both guessing you know.

If its not under warranty, I would try and find a reputable honda shop...

Thankfully I have a 10 Year/100K Mile warranty, but I am just tired of taking it to the dealer and wasting my time. I want it fixed once and for all. Besides the trannie, my driver's window doesn't go all the way down when I put the top down, and it doesn

I am beginning to realize that mine is slower than others that are bone stock too. What is the best and/or cheapest way to fix that other than getting a new one and talking my chances? How about a chip? I have big plans for my car, I don
