Taking my car back for the Recall for the transmission tomorrow!

[Blackline47]

Well its hard to believe but Honda actually called me and notified me that car is due for a "transmission recall"! I asked was it for a certain gear? and what exactly are you going you do it? I quote what the man said "We are going to look at bearings and synchromesh for possible error. When can you get your car serviced?" I said today! But their making me wait intill wed. But hell yeah! maybe my 2nd gear crunch and 3rd gear issue will be fixed! for having a good dealership. I will keep you guys posted! Oh and i have an 2006 Civic Si. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= UPDATE: Ok, here is the scoop. I did get my car back with this "recall" my Dealership (Bobby Rahal Honda) and here is what happened. I asked the sales clerk or manager what’s the updates on my civic. She told me that there were a couple of issues that were due for your car. 1) The one everyone has known about incorrect mileage reading. That the ECU was recording pre mature mileage. On my paperwork that I have gotten in return says “ECU Mileage Correction” The clerk says it is an ECU adjustment to my car. She sounded like she had no idea what she was talking about… but that’s off topic anyway… 2) My “Transmission Checkup”. I asked her my main concern which was the whole ordeal about this recall for my transmission. She just read it off of my paper work. Which reads “Checking of bearings and synchromesh. No Error.” I highly doubt that they pulled the whole transmission to look at this. Ironically enough a technician walks in and joins our conversation. He was a middle aged man that simply asked me “You the owner of the Blue Si with all of the bolt-ons on it?” Of course I reply yes and ask him was he the one checked my transmission for the possible issues. With my luck he said no I did not. He took part in doing my ECU mileage correction not the tranny inspection. The technician says his co-worker did the inspection which already left for today. I Smell Suspicion. So this is all frustrating and confusing. There was an inspection for the transmission but nothing was done to it! 3) I addressed the Youtube video: To the technician on my iPhone (which I got for Christmas) He watches the whole thing with me and says that I address this link to tech. (Why can’t he take a look at it? I have no idea!) That inspected your transmission at work tomorrow. We will call you when we can. I asked for sales clerk and the two tech’s Business Card. I have all three of them in my wallet. So I am waiting for a call back from my Honda Dealership to this day….. Again I will keep you updated on my car and my fight with my Dealership about this. -Robert Modified by Blackline47 at 7:35 PM 2/11/2008 Modified by Blackline47 at 7:35 PM 2/11/2008

no...

[racerx78]

Do you have a TSB on this?

[IT GUY]

Hey OP, when you say "Honda Called" what do you mean? who called? corporate? the dealership?

they don't normally call for recalls... they mail letters for recalls...

I'd like to know.

My dealership called me! They basically said that we need to service your car for a transmission recall. No Charge to me at all i just had to sign 3 dotted lines.

I just dropped it off and i got a rental 06 Civic LX sedan AT in black. Its kind of trippy to be used to red dash lights and you get a rental and its blue.

I would'nt lie about this... I will go take a picture of my rental with toilet paper on the hood if you dont believe me... haha

I just thought i would let you in my story

[Blackline47]

TSB?

Technical Service Bulletin? Should'nt i get one after i get my car back and other paper work?

Thanks for the beer!

Yeah man it caught me off guard to. I will ask more questions when i pick it up.
I just had my fingers crossed for a S2000 rental car

Again i will keep ya guys posted when the Si back!

[ekb16]

thats weird we havent gotten any news on this yet...these are the current news and recalls we have for the 06+ civics

[fg2si!kid]

i really hope we can get some more info on this my 3rd gear has been popping out on me latley

[EmoHatch]

Mine too but when I've mentioned it to my dealer they pretend they've never heard of the problem before and say they didn't notice anything on their test drive. It doesn't happen all the time but 3rd gear is definitely fukked compared to the others.

[Blackline47]

Its more of a 2nd gear problem than 3rd.

My 2nd gear makes a "crunch" noise and its real knotchy about 50% of the time.
and 3rd feels is just hard to get into some times. and some time is just locks out!

Hopefully they can fix it or help the issue!

Not gonna happen buddy!

That would be like going to a BMW dealer with a 3 series and asking for an M6 as a rental car.

TSB or Recall they should be able to give you an number for it, if you called them. But yes it should be on your paper work when you get your car back. I'm taking my in on friday, and like would like something "official" to reference when i go.
