You are in the Honda Accord Coupe Forum. Your Host is claires
I am looking at a 2005 accord coupe 6 speed. I am aware of the shifting problems and have test driven one that had the problem.the one i am looking at now drives fine and is being sold as Honda certified,the salesman says if i should have a problem after i buy it would be covered under warraty(as long as i can duplicate the problem) I told him about the tsb for 3rd gear set but he said they wont fix anything if its working fine now.I love the car but would not be happy if i had a problem down the road,Anyone have opinion or any experiences that might help me? Thanks for any help

I also have a 2005 Accord coupe with a third gear notchy/grinding problem. It is just barely out of warranty, and my dealership here in Vegas (Honda West) claims ignorance of the problem. This is fairly normal (the problem and their ignorance) from what I've read here. They will not fix it on their dime, but thier service rep was able to replicate the problem. Honda will fix in under the extended warranty I purchased when I recently bought the car. I will be bringing in the car for repair in a week or two once the holidays are over. Just posting here so my situation can be added to the list in case Honda ever wants to own up to this pervasive problem. Great car other than this!

Great car other than this! ......also drive '05 6M coupe with 3rd gear snag now and then. Also have Honda Care Extended Warranty. (Will try GM SynchMesh Friction Modified manual transmission fluid before any dealer work..............under the EW). There is a TSB out (08-020 April 12, 2008) which has the "symptoms can be intermittent" wording. Please post your impressions after your 6M goes under the knife!! season's best, ez.... |

i have a 2009 v6 with a auto trans and how do you know when you are in 3-cyl mode or 4-cyl mode? i know that the eco light is on in this mode. my 09 accord coupe w/ the v6 auto "chug's" at 65mph like it is hunting for a gear with the eco light on. is the trans going from 4 to 3 cyl and back again when it is dong this?

Replying to: chcjunior (Mar 13, 2009 5:11 pm) .....it's a tough choice - - others have reported positive on TSB 08-020 synchro replacement for the 6M. I see online (AcuraZine.com;DA) big time good about the GM SynchroMesh Friction Modified trans fluid. I picked up 3 quarts from our local Chevrolet dealer; the 6M coupe in my garage is paid for, gets really great freeway fuel numbers and the 3rd gear issue - random notchiness - apparently isn't anywhere near as bad as your is (was).................. Again, I feel your pain - maybe not as great. After 4 Hondas/one Acura, your chagrin must be huge. best, ez....

Replying to: ilove2drive (Mar 14, 2009 9:47 am) ......GMSFM replaced OEM fluid 10April2009.......... Like you said IL2D.....'worked immediately'......... Other folks have reported 35/40k on GMSFM - - with no return of the random 3rd gear shift glitch.............. Works for me!! (big time) all the best, ez............... |

Any of you 6 speed manual coupe owners hear of anyone with a 5 speed manual Accord sedan having basically the same issues with third gear notchiness, popping out and grinding on the upshift and occasionally grinding on the downshift into third (while the clutch is still depressed)? My 4cyl. 08 LX sedan has been doing this randomly since we bought it last Aug. Idiotic service department told me I wasn't depressing the clutch all the way while shifting. I asked why only third gear they told me it was at that "certain" speed. Well, I've owned countless manual transmission vehicles over the years and know how to push in a clutch. I was told Honda used to replace third gear when a customer complained about this, but they no longer do unless the service dept. actually gets to observe this happening.This happens so randomly they would have my car for who knows how long before they catch it. Asked about the GM syncromesh but was told no because it's not a approved Honda fluid. Anywho, I just wondered if anyone has heard of the 5 speed having the same issues as the 6 speed.
