FG2 3rd Gear Pop

[tzxsr]

on wat year of the civic does this problem occur? asap reply plss thnks

[phileepae]

This is a problem that plagues the majority of manual Hondas. It's been addressed, if your vehicle is still under powertrain warranty (5 year 60k miles(yes both)) any Honda dealership will fix it for free.

rev the car to atleat 3500 rpm or up shift to 3rd gear when you hit 29mph..this will help you shift better and this what is says in the drivers manual for our car..if you still having problem go and replace your transmission oil with amsoil transmission fluid..

[fourone213]

hey bro...i had a 06 fg2 and i had the same thing happen to me...i thought the first time it happened i grinded the hell out of the gears and that was the reason why it was doing that. unfortunately i totaled the 06 and bought a gti...now i went back to the fg2 2010 model and i don't have that problem anymore. i guess they fixed it in the 09-10 models from what i'm reading...you still have that problem??

[prash08]

I have the exact same problem, Is there a fix for this? I drive a 06 Si

[krazykarlfensley]

I have a TWM SS and RP MTF and I haven't had anymore problems w/ my FA5, so far. I have looked into replacing all the synchros w/ aftermarket carbon coated ones as well.

[krazykarlfensley]

@krazykarlfensley Has a Honda tech that couldn't duplicate the problem that so many of us are having, watched this video or any like videos?

[mjeatsies]

OMG i think i see the problem here.... you're pressing the clutch at the same time as you change gear.... see 2:46

[Dart00Z]

switchd my tranny fluid to amsoil synchrotech and have no more problems with 3rd gear. lol. crappy stock fluid is to blame

[wed3k]

now you have a 5 speed like me!

[stickyfingaz023]

its not a 5 speed....its got 6 gears

[pressrolls]

Hey tard its a joke.... 6 speed minus 3rd gear = 5 speed.

[stickyfingaz023]

just sayin bitch! fuck! get off my nutts bout it

[TheRachelWeinke]

I have a 06 Si and I have the same prob.. i took it to honda while it was still under warranty and they claimed they couldnt find anything wrong.

[Japanorama]

so when it pops out u just pop it back in? thats doesnt seem TOO bad to me...

[crazyquady]

At 1:20 ohh to bad. Funny as hell but mang that sucks im so glad mine doesnt have this problem.....yet.

[zmelli]

I traded my Mugen Civic because of this problem.

[yhen123]

i have problem with my 4 gear

When you switch to 4th gear and release the clutch it pops out of gear This only happens in 4th gear?

[boredouttamind]

i own an si.. this car is designed to shift at 4500-5000 rpm. i was watching you shift, and you should be more deliberate in your shift to 3rd. yes it does pop at lower rpm but not when its near 5000, which is the way you should be driving an si

[KelleyJi]

that's what I tried before.. but it does pop out at higher rpm too.. which sucks.

it is just much less chances poping out.

thanks for your comment. :)

[boredouttamind]

well i just talked to a guy from my gym who just got warrantee repair for the syncro that fixes 3rd gear, plus i talked to honda and they said they fix 3rd gear now if you have warrantee.. if you don't then the 3rd gear kit is $1400.. mine doesn't have any probs but i'll keep an eye on it.. my si is friggin sick .. i love it.

[xxnissansilviaxx]

@KelleyJi did u get it fixed?

[mrblockboii]

@boredouttamind can that apply on any si? i have ep3 and we all know ep3s 2nd gear is not smooth, it doesnt pop out or anything just not smooth.

[razzordog]

Dont buy a shitty honda then fuck!!!

[datboyg90]

mine sctraches wen i put it in third sometimes...its like i dont push the clutch all the way but i do..n its just with dat damm gear...

[tnorm410]

i just bought my 07 honda civic si.

and the third gear would pop out sometimes.

it was fucking aggervating.

but i got a new sycronizer and its perfect now

[babyfresa04]

ya i own a 05 rsx type s n same problem wit 3rd gear grinding until it blew on me...now i own a 07 civic si sedan n same shit wit 3rd gear....waz up wit the tranny on the k20...ended up buying a new tranny for my rsx dealer wanted 6000 for it but got it for 4200 elswhere...ya lemon law states they have to fix the problem....i know this sucks

[otterlakerules]

It's just an overfill of fuild in the transmission that causing the problem of the 3rd gear.

[kingpins9]

No it's not. Honda has a new "gearset" for the 6-speed manual transmission.

[sam1209]

Hi kelly, plz disregard previous posts from other users and have this topic resumed. No doubt started a good one. thumbs up for all civic si drivers. i`ve given honda 1000`s becuase i dont trust any other place

just for oil change, thay charge me 400+ easily which includes front wheel rotations, balancing and couple of other "stuff"

[eggxactly410]

so it goes in nutrel?

[spendarthegreat]

tell the tech's to drive it hard like in the video or they will drive it normal and say they can't duplicate it.

[wahwah714]

is this only for the older si's?

did HONDA fix this problem for the 08's?

[lpma6]

Yeah RSX's Suck

[rr92890]

3rd gear popout...that sux

[krnconnexion]

Yeah, i drive an 05 rsx type s and i have the same problem on the 3rd gear. it doesnt actually pop out but it does grind and go in half way and grind badly. and i went to honda after i heard of the tsb. but they couldnt "duplicate the problem" they just said my clutch was worn out but, there only trying to make some money off of me. very disappointing by honda and acura....

[basharkasperkhan1]

i have the same problem with mine. it blows asshole when ur racing

[jzeville]

I have problem 2nd, 3rd gear. its really sucks.

[gameovamuttz]

yo i see you driving stick just fine ive read several articles about the 3rd gear popping out that sucks.

[mpicon04]

To all those people that ran their mouth, why is Honda now releasing a TSB?

[artinnem]

Do you know what is the reason? Does the dealer accept that 06 si's 3rd gear have problem?

[KelleyJi]

I appologize for removing all comments.

there are some ppl who like to blame others without reason, or without knowing anything.

to those who don't know what I'm trying to show in this video,

go and RESEARCH "honda 6spd MT 3rd gear syncro problem / poping out problem".

and to ppl who thinks i suck at driving MT,

Let's meet up and show me what u've got there.

peace!

[epiksol]

Damn dude. Sorry people are dicks. I was actually following your video to see what kind of problems other people are having...

[sam1209]

now when i took my car to there, the guy refused to help me, instead he offered me a free 2008 free oil change card and at the same time he wanted me to buy winter tires and with all list, he estimated way more then usual. i`m extremely mad and i will be following up with this complaint

[razzordog]

you my not suck at MT but you will lose when your 3rd pops out!
