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 |

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.
