You are in the Honda Accord Coupe Forum. Your Host is claires
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 4:11 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 8:47 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.

Replying to: icyou812 (May 02, 2009 10:50 pm) Really good idea. Also use a search engine (I use DogPile) on GMSFM;note the positives........... best, ez (works on my 6M)
