Honda issues TSB 08-020 April 12, 2008 3RD GEAR Issue Fix
Hi all,
I am happy to say that my local Honda dealership couldn't duplicate my 3rd gear issues, but thanks to this TSB release on 04/12/08, they are going ahead and applying this fix anyways. =) I've posted this in the other forum area, and it can be found on other sites as well. I thought that this may be a good sticky, if not, I thought maybe a new thread with the Technical Service Bulletin at the top page would help for those wanting a quick view of it. I have posted the link of the PDF file for TSB 08-020 on my personal web site: A08-020.pdf Here are some specifics from that TSB that will interest you: Transmission Grinds When Shifting Into 3rd Gear, Pops Out of 3rd Gear, or Is Hard to Shift Into 3rd Gear SYMPTOM The 6-speed manual transmission grinds when shifting into 3rd gear, pops out of 3rd gear, or is hard to shift into 3rd gear. NOTE: These symptoms can be intermittent and sometimes more noticeable in colder climates. PROBABLE CAUSE The transmission has a faulty 3rd gear synchronizer or 3-4 shift sleeve. CORRECTIVE ACTION Replace the 3rd gear set. VEHICLES AFFECTED 2003–07 Accord V6 with M/T: ALL 2008 Accord V6 with M/T 2-Door: From VIN 1HGCS218.8A000001 thru 1HGCS218.8A003478 2006–07 Civic Si 2-Door: ALL 2008 Civic Si 2-Door: From VIN 2HGFG215.8H700001 thru 2HGFG215.8H701973 2007 Civic Si 4-Door: ALL 2008 Civic Si 4-Door: From VIN 2HGFA555.8H700001 thru 2HGFA555.8H702465 I hope this information helps everyone. =) |
Yeah, I saw this on 8thcivic yesterday. I'll hopefully be taking my car in within the next couple weeks to get this taken care of.

Update: 04/24/08
I got my car back from Pacific Honda after they applied this TSB fix. YAY! 3rd gear feels great. More details to follow. |
I was the first to bring a car in to my dealership regarding this TSB. Still waiting on parts...Apparently some of the necessary items are backordered now. :rolleyes:

Same issue with my friend's RSX-R a couple of months ago.
