I purchase this 2008 Honda Civic Si used in May of 2011 at a Toyota Dealer I was working at as a mechanic. Around the mileage mark of 61,090 when shifting into 3rd gear it made grinding sounds when shifting and pops out of 3rd gear. The dealer diagnosed it as a M/T Malfunction in the Transmission with 3rd gear shift synchros. There is also several TSB silent recalls on this problem that Honda is trying to keep under covers. I live in Pa. which Lemon Law on used cars does not apply and my car is now in a shop waiting to be fixed for the same problem. The estimated cost this time is around $3,000.00 the first time the dealer told they would fix it as a courtesy of me working there which I have since left that dealership. I do not think I should pay for this repair since it is something Honda knows about. My issue is how do I go about getting it repaired?

While driving on the 405 fwy going 60, the car just stopped while in the fast lane. We were able to get over to the center divider but had to call CHP to stop traffic to get off the freeway. The struggles when going uphill or downhill. Good thing no cars were right behind us or we would of been hit as the car just stopped even though the car was on.

There seems to be an issue with the transmission. Has anyone had this happen and is this something that would be covered by Honda as they are telling us it would cost over $4,000 to fix?

I'm writing to let everyone know that my 3rd gear on my 2008 civic si coupe pops out gear. its been doing this since i got it never thought about it being a problem until it started doing it constantly . its a problem that's very annoying especially if you get around a lot.. I think honda should do something about this .. if anybody else had the same problem let me know what u did to fix it .. i want to get this solved because I'm fed up with all this.. I'm hoping people speak up because we need to be heard to get this fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
