Manual Transmission
I own a 2006 honda civic si, which i purchased new from dublin honda in dubiln, ca in 2006. My car has always had a problem shifting from 2nd gear to 3rd gear, even when it was brand new. It would sometimes "pop" out of gear unless i held the shifter for a moment after shifting. The car now has 67500 miles on it, and two weeks ago, the clutch/transmission abruptly stopped working. I brought it to sunnyvale honda,…

I own a 2006 honda civic 2 door coupe. It is currently in the service shop at the local honda dealer as it requires a new transmission only 5700 miles past the drivetrain warranty. It is my understanding that this is a "rare" occurrence as stated by the service manager and usually happens with cars with much higher mileage. It is a manual transmission that as of 2 weeks ago has been slipping, grinding and whirring.…

My 2006 civic si has huge transmission problems. The car has huge issues with second and third gear, at this moment i have no 3rd gear. We have a group of about 2000 people who have signed a petition to honda for a recall.. Nothing has been done by honda yet. *tr

Manual Transmission
The drive-by-wire throttle system equipped on the vehicle has been very tardy in its response time to throttle-pedal input. This was already a "recall" for this vehicle, and has since gotten worse after the new software was installed on the vehicle. For instance, if downshifting into first gear, quite often will the engine accelerate itself and push the vehicle for extended amounts of time (10-15 seconds) with no…

My 2006 honda civic si has an issue with "hanging revs" that even after the release of the gas pedal the rpms seems to stay steady for 1-2 seconds. The inability of the dbw system will eventually lead to early clutch failure, also there is surging and jerking in 1st-2nd gear. I must say that it makes me very nervous to drive because i can't predict what the car will do. The car also seems to have a notchy, stiff,…

The third gear in the 6 speed manual transmission does not fully engage under higher rpms causing grinding and a mis-shift. Causes major wear on the gears and synchros. Dealer refuses to acknowledge the problem and is claiming it is the drivers fault. *tr

(1) the event leading up to the failure would be while speeding up and shifting into 2nd gear and 3rd gear sometimes there is a grinding noise, and some other times it pops out of gear totally. (2) the failure that is occurring is that sometimes it pops out of gear and then there is also a grinding noise.

Manual Transmission
My 2006 honda civic si has problems with gears one (1) through four (4). The biggest problem is the lack of smooth shifting and erratic grinding resulting from shifting through those gears. Grinding occurs when the vehicle is at a stop and the clutch is shifted from neutral to first (1). Grinding also occurs when the vehicle is in motion and shifted from first (1) to second (2), second (2) to third (3), and third…

1st gear locks out on a dead stop, which means if i were on a hill, i would try to go into 1st gear, and instead of going into first, i roll back and hit whatever is behind me if i cannot catch it in time. 3rd gear kicks back and grinds, which may lead to being rear ended if the driver behind me does not notice this. *tr

On my 06 civic si's 6speed. The third and fourth gear do not engage, when then do they popped out and are rejected. This happens more frequently when it is cold however it also dose it when warm, randomly. The geartrain seems to be very notchy overall and getting worse. I have had this problem fixed by the dealer once but the problem quickly came back. The dealer refused to fix the problem again, claiming that it…

The transmission will not engage 3rd gear correctly and causes the transmission to grind and pop into neutral when you think you are in 3rd gear. This issue is dangerous and could cause a wreck. Honda denies the problem but there are several petitions online about this issue. This issue is the worst when it is cold out and the car is cold. It has been doing this since the car got to about 5,000 miles. *tr

Within weeks of purchase, returned to dealership regarding excessive grinding of gears, lack of confidence in engaging gear change all when shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear. Dealership suggested it to be break in period or that i wasn't used to a performance 6m transmission (i drive a 2003 nissan 350z 6m). Next visit, resulted from more of the above, i cited website research and reference to transmission fluid not of…

I have a 2006 honda civic si. The tranmission has had problems shifting into third gear. On many occasions the shifter has popped out of third gear while driving. I brought the car to honda with this problem. They changed some fluid and hoped it would fix it. It didn't. It's been several months since then, and the problem seems to be getting worse. I hope honda can figure out how to fix this, because it doesn't seem…

1. Problem has been occurring from the beginning. 2. In the 2006 honda civic si there is a grind going into 2nd gear at times, and also 3rd gear does not always fully engage. 3. Nothing was done to correct the failure. The dealer turned a shoulder and stated they were unable to replicate the very obvious problem. *tr
