I picked up my 2010 M200 last October with 17k miles and since the day I picked it up 2nd to 3rd gear and reverse have been quite 'crunchy' regardless of rev level and engine warmth. Sometimes its fine and other times it just won't go smoothly into gear.
Like others I put this down to a new car and not being used to the gearbox. Since then it has mildly improved but not to any kind of acceptable level - especially from Honda.
So basically I have it booked into Honda this week and I have made them aware of the issue. Having read a large chunk of this 32 page thread it seems most of the issues were with 07/08 plate and it came down to 3rd gear syncro hub.
If anyone else had issues with a 2010 plate and if it was the same fix please get in touch and let me know. Sad to say it is going to Honda with a snagging list of other things too. No way near the build quality of the 54 plate I had before. Shame asa the gearbox on that model was superb for the 7 years I owned it.
Thanks!!
10 plates were not effected by the product update on the box as the this particular model year had the updates applied.
