Difficulty shifting to 3rd gear on my 07 civic si. Some grinding occurs when shifting at times, other times it pops out of gear. I took the vehicle to honda dealership but nothing was done since they could not replicate what i described the car was doing. Whether honda dealership can replicate it or not, this is a safety issue particularly while driving in the city were the traffic is heavy most of the time. *tr

I was shifting easily from 1st to 2nd gear at 15-18mph and approximately 3k rpm. My manual transmission failed at that time, and i lost power-- nearly creating an accident. The failure involved broken teeth of the countershaft and final (ring) gear. This type of failure has been documented previously in many internet forums, but perhaps not formally. Honda should have information about models experiencing such…

I have a 2007 honda civic si coupe. This is not my first manual vehicle. I have had trouble shifting into 3rd but did not think anything of it. Just four days ago my car would not shift at all. I had it towed to the honda dealership and was told that my clutch in a year old car was burned out. They claim that it was not a manufacturers defect so in other words, it is my fault. Upon doing research i see that many…

The car was fine for first few hundred miles. Transmission began to shift will excessive force needed. Dealership was advised to change fluid, which seemed to work for very few miles. Very difficult to shift into second and third gear. Third gear will actually "pop out" at various times. This has caused me to make dangerous maneuvers in and out of traffic. Dealership cannot "replicate" problem is the usual excuse.…

I own a 2007 honda civic si (manual transmission) and 1 out of every 5 times i shift into 3rd gear it grinds and does not engage properly. In 4000 miles it has also fallen out of gear twice under normal driving conditions. When this happens the car will suddenly slow and i will be distracted while driving as it is quite unexpected on a car with 10,000 miles. I have brought the car to honda and they said this was due…
