mines in today getting fixed fingers crossed #

just picked it up said had to strip the gearbox and replace 5th and 6th which was causing the prob .....

big test is 2mo morning dam should of slipped him a £10'r to fit me an lsd

I've had the new gearbox fix for just over a week now and it seems to be ok. The shift from 1st to 2nd is a lot smoother now, even when the 'box is cold! Hopefully it's a long term fix this time.

cool...

yeah mine now works fine !! past the test this mornin and on way home from work

What dealer is that?? Have you got their number??

THANKS

No difference I think mate??

[boobster]

going give my local dealer a call and see if their aware of it.

[typerboy]

Apparantly nothing. It's just a new model year but the car stays the same.

[boobster]

Booked in for the Dec 15th. There's actually a bulletin for the fix. The guy in the servicing department double checked the bulletin while i was on the phone. What a friendly chap he was as well. Can't wait to get it fixed.

[JamesTypeR]

cars goin in tommoz for a couple of bits, so will have remind them about this issue, and that there is a fix

[RichE]

Will be getting this done myself shortly, was reading the official bulletin today at the dealers.Apparently Honda are expecting to have to replace 2nd gear on high milers.

[boobster]

Just got a call from the dealer. Car's ready. I'll let you know how it is.

[boobster]

Seems ok. Don't know how long it had been ready so i'll have to check it from cold in the morning. i'll keep u all posted.

[boobster]

Guys,

Tried it this morning. It's not as clunky as before but 5th and 6th seem a little stiffer. Oh well life goes on.

[RichE]

They will loosen up apparently, i think they are whats actually replaced or worked on with this fix.

That's good to hear . Thought I'd caused more problems!!

[RichE]

I think the exact words the mechanic used were "5th and 6th were a bit sharp for a while".

[CDN-SiR-02]

You guys have the technical bulletin number for this problem? I have the Canadian SiR and 1-2 is notchy until it warms up too. Are the gear boxes the similar between the Type-R and SiR? Mine is a 5 speed.

[Fife Flyer]

CDN,
not sure if gearboxes are similar, had 3 previous Civics which were all 5 speed - the CTR as you are now no doubt aware is 6 speed
