Manual Transmission
Many times, especially when the weather is colder, the manual transmission will pop out of third gear/grind/or will not even engage in third. This is dangerous, especially in heavy traffic or when turning a corner because it causes a quick deceleration and the person behind you can't anticipate that you are going to slow down suddenly because there is no braking involved. Not to mention, after this occurs, the…

Slow throttle response since purchase, door glass rattle since purchase, the third gear would give resistance, which is a known problem with the six speed transmission. I patched the problem by changing the transmission fluid and installing a shorter shifter yet this is not a permanent solution. Honda has refused to repair the actual problem with the third gear synchro and at one point stated that it was probably…

This problem increases the chances of being rear ended and also puts tremendous wear on the transmission as the gear…

Manual Transmission
Third gear on my '07 honda civic si coupe is both frequently impossible to engage (every third or fourth shift change) and pops out of gear during driving (typically 2-3 times an hour during continuous driving). This poses potential dangers while driving as there is failure in the application of power to the driven wheels, which is essential for controlling the vehicle. The issue is known to be common in the 6 speed…

Manual Transmission
The manual transmission shifts badly, and there have been occasions when it won't go into gear. Also, when cold, and in lower gears, it is very hesitant and choppy. I believe it's the throttle. There have been a few occasions when i've stepped on the brake and it's tried to move forward. Honda says there is nothing wrong with this car. They treat me as if i don't know how to drive. *tr
