New V6 6 speed-total replacement
 

Had a problem with first gear popping out into neutral when using engine braking to go down a steep drive. Of course, could not show mechanic when he went with me.
Left message with svc. mgr. , knowing full well it was just a matter of time until this showed up elsewhere.
Sure enough, I got a call that Honda wanted the trans for a looksee. They acknowledged the problem on 04's, but mine was a late '03.
I have not driven it yet, but I am sure it is fine.
It is a great car, and the general public doesn't even know it exists.
Very happy............Pud

I go down a hill (gravel, less than 10 mph) in first all the time.

i put mine in first going down my driveway (pretty steep and gravel) and i have no problems

ahh im not familiar with these things you guys call hills... lol

I usually down down shift into first at all. I just put it in neutral and let it go.

sorry about the spelling it was supposed to be I usually don't down shift.

never heard of the 6mt having problems yet, let's hope i don't, one of the guys at work got to put a clutch in one, 200 miles on it and the salesman decided to learn stick on it, overheated the pressure plate so badly the spring permanently collapsed

I don't ever downshift into first, but I start in first and don't shift out of it :)

The posting was for information for those with 6 speeds, and obviously Honda knows of the problem. It was not meant as an opportunity to learn how to drive from some meatheads.

then next time post it in the accord section where us "meatheads" wont even bother looking.

hey! theres an idea. BTW pudthetree, im glad you were stupid enough to post something stupid, ive been waiting to use this pic for ever. Thanks. you get

lol dingo.... nice one

Wow...3 posts in and he's throwing around insults. Sorry man...you've gotta be a little better established before you start burning bridges. F@ck this guy.

The Domestic Meathead

lol... im glad im not the only one a bit shocked by some new guy insulting this board

hey, i was shocked :) i gave him the gayest member ever award :) he is a doche, but what can you do?


*edit* And pudthetree your an asshammer for using first gear to brake. Try using your brakes instead:hmmm:

The town i live in is all hills. Alot of time i just turn the car off til i get down to a stop sign - saves gas, oh and pudgy butt dont be an ass;)
