I'm due for an oil change this week, so I'm going to bring up the 3rd gear issue and see what they say. Hopefully, they'll have some good insight into it...I'll keep you posted.

i have the exact same problem with my 07 6speed 4 door. i have the "notch" problem going into 3rd gear around 25% of the time whether it's hot or cold. also, it slams/grinds into gear when i'm over 5K RPMs going into 2nd and 3rd gear almost every time. sounds like this has been going on over at least a couple of model years. i won't accept from honda that this is normal. if this keeps up, i won't have any synchronizers or gear teeth left !! i've had two 91 mustang 5.0's and this is exactly what would happen when the synchronizers wore out -- requiring transmission rebuild or replacement. This is why honda won't touch it -- they would have to open up the tranny or replace it which means big commitment. i will be contacting honda customer service soon b/c i simply will not accept the dealership's answer.
 
this is a major issue so if anyone else has their own story, please post it here so we can print these comments and show them to honda !!

I'm another 07 6speed 4-door who is experiencing this problem.
 
It also happens whether it's hot or cold.
 
I can now recgonize the feel of when it's not really in 3rd, so I don't grind the tranny anymore. But it is annoying to have to reset, and attempt to shift into 3rd again.
 
I'm going in for my first service at the Honda dealership. I'm going to bring it up.
 
And otherwise the transmission is a joy to use.
 
If found a post on the Honda website indicating they had addressed the problem. But they said it was addressed for all 2007 models, so I don't know why I'm having the problem.
 
Honda Genuine MTF: It’s Even Better Than Before
In case you haven’t heard yet, Honda Genuine MTF has been improved. It offers better overall shift quality in cold weather (especially in freezing tempertures), and it’s got better friction reduction for improved fuel economy and longer
transmission service life. This new MTF (P/N 08798-9031, H/C 8429094) is
the factory-fill on all ’07 M/T-equipped Honda models, and it’s backward compatible with older models. It comes in a 1-quart bottle that wears a new label and a white cap.

Another tidbit I found:
 
The transmission is commonly overfilled at the factory and that can result in some of the 3rd gear problems.

Automatic Transmission Malfunction? by lindawashere

I have an automatic transmission on my 2004 Honda Accord Coupe.
 
When I am parked on a hill, facing downward, and put the car in reverse, if I don't have my brakes on, my car will roll forward on down the hill til it runs out of momentum.
 
Most cars, you put it in reverse, it might roll a little, but then the transmission catches and you stop.
 
I took the car into a local dealer, and they told me the car was designed that way.
 
I've been driving now for over 25 years and I have never put an auto in reverse and had it roll forward 50 feet downhill.
 
Is is because I'm a woman with a warrenty about to expire?
 
Or is this just a dumb design?
 
When I go to pick up my car I expect to test drive some others on the lot to see if this is true, but honestly, it's just seems like BS to me.

I too have an '07 4dr. with a 6-speed that 3rd scares the hell out of me when it's cold. I think it's in 3rd and then let go ....grind or pop out of 3rd!!

..........this 2-3 gear sometime glitch seems to be for real.
 
...my 6M coupe infrequently feels ropey going into 3rd gear also.....
 
The GM Synchromesh goo solution appears not only here, but also on DA and TOV.
 
I reckon nothing is truly perfect.............
 
best, ez....

Yes, I've seen those solutions, but is it really the solution?
