wow they called me and said they will order the parts for 2nd gear pop out problem and also said they will fix everything else.

 

Wow! Congrats! Did they say they were able to get it to pop out for them?

 

i dont think so, I have CHANGE THE FLUID WITH GM SYNCHROMESH FRICTION R. AFTER I WAS HAVING THIS PROBLEM ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO AND AFTER THAT IT WAS OK NO MORE POP. but i said what the hell i saw this thread and i said might as well try it. after 4 hours he called then he said he will order the parts and it will take about 3 to 4 days. everything under warranteeeeeeey yehey for me.

 

Fixed the thread title, it's a TSB not a recall.

 

Wow, mine hasn't really done it since the first week I had it (and that might have been me not putting it in all the way) but I'm wondering if I should try to get it done now.

 

i think you should, make sure to point out anymore problems that you have. i was surprise when he said he was going to fix the problem. At first he look at me like what the a little kid driving the s2, by the way im 25 and i look like 16"drop off the car he notice i was wearing a suit, well i was ready for work, then he started asking me few question about where i work? what do i do? then after that conversation all of a sudden he mentioned so do you get grind on the 2nd and 3rd gear i said yes all the time. at this point hes inputting everything i say about the problem, he also include the grinding part that i never mentioned. so anyways i think anyone have this problem or thnk that you have this problem just go and try it make sure not to be an ass.... dont forget to mention its still under warranteeeeeeeeee........ free of charge

P.S. at first i was thinking i wasnt putting it in all the way but nah.....
just try it, it doesnt hurt if they say no.
you got a 50/50 chance right?

hey who know he might change my tires, 10% left on them hehehe

 

so i pick up the car today around 5pm and the service manager said they were going to fix the tranny next week wed. and thurs. 2 days work. anyways while i was waiting, i notice they have another black s2 the owner was there so i started chattin with him.. nice guy

btw hes tranny was gettin fixed hes gettin that pop out and a lot of grind in 2nd...

 

I'm going to try it, thanks!

 

The only thing I would add is that I recommend bringing in your car only if you're having the problem... it seems that if you don't see it by 10K or so you're tranny is probably within spec and okay.

Think of it like this... they have a production spec tolerance where the gear must be between 5 and 10 units in width. Well it turns out that it really needs to be between 7 and 10 units or it destroys the snycro's. If you have a tranny that fell within the 7 to 10 range, of the 5 to 10 spec, you are fine... it's the folks that have the 5's and 6's that are having trouble.

I know that is all general, but I don't think the Honda tech knew the exact measurements, but just that the parts were not in spec.

Anyway, if you don't have the problem you'll be replacing your tranny parts with identical parts (check out the part numbers)... only this time you'll have some 18 year old Honda tech putting those same parts in instead of having it assembled in a controlled production environment. If you already have gears that fall within the new spec range I don't understand why you would want to tear down your tranny to replace them with identical gears

Does this help or just make things more confusing?

 

good point well just bring it to honda only if your having this problem .........
