Is this the current Type R? If so there's a known issue with third gear, fixable under warranty.
The previous Civics (EP3s) had an issue with the syncro wearing on 2nd didn't they?
My FN2 can be a nightmare getting third as well sometimes, better get myself down the dealers whilst i still have warranty left
Dealer will just want a test drive. My local dealer admitted it had the issue straight away.
They then fill out a warranty claim to Honda and the bits arrived about 10 days later.
Mine's going in a week on Monday to get it fixed. They might need it for two days so I've got a courtesy car off them included as well. :smt023
Spoken to my Honda Service Centre last week, today they tell me that they or Honda know nothing of this problem!!! Annoyed now, guess i will have to contact Honda myself and see what they say. If there is a problem why don't all dealers acknowledge the fact?? Any thoughts folks??
Wow!!! Gordon's Honda were fantastic, really helpful, new about the problem and asked me to take the car in for a look! If i didn't live 5 hours away i would have done so!! They provided me with fault ref number and everything my service centre needed to know about claiming etc and where to find the info on their database. Passed on the info but i'm still waiting for a call back!! Fingers crossed i will get a result soon. Thanks to Gordon's Honda, awesome service and thanks to Loxy for the contact info.

Thanks again.
Cracking!
I've only had the 3rd done but I think I'm going to have to take it back for forth, it's popped out a couple of times in the last few weeks.![]()
