RSX Transmission Defect
 

Anyone having problems with RSX's base model transmission should visit http://www.acuradefect.com/ to join a campaign to have Acura/Honda fix the freakin problem.

Have you talked to the dealer yet?

Yes, they refure to recognize that there is a problem.

What exactly is gear grind?

The gear grinds are supposed to be in the Type S, I was unaware the base had a similar malfunction. :dunno:

i think theres something wrong with the new honda syncros? a lot of people have been complaining about it on the rsx-s and i know my friend is having some grinding problems going into second gear on his 03 si.

My buddy had lots of problems with his same generation civic. Had a nasty noise going into 1st and 2nd. He had tranny repaired 3 times, case replaced once. He ended up trading it in on a new one, figured it was a factory defect and the Honda factory rep was a complete ass about it. He did get screamin deal on a 2004, the dealer knows he has a steady customer and did the right thing
