I have been experiencing trouble changing into 3rd & Reverse. Dealer advised they couldn't duplicate the problem during their test drive, so no solution thus far.

My car makes a horrible noise and shifts hard around 25 mph. Honda will not stand by the problem or offer a solution. Two friends noticed it when driving the car BEFORE I ever mentioned the problem. I went to two dealers who said maybe it will work itself out and its under warranty s bring it back f it gets to be more than annoying. My third Honda and definitely my last. Will go for Toyota next time, Honda quality has suffered and they wont stand y their product.

Accord Ex Coupe V6
- Manual transmission
- 5,000 miles
I bought the car in November 2008 and it never really shifted smoothly into 3rd gear but was told that it would be better by the time it was 10,000 miles by the service tech at the dealership. I had the gearbox replaced and have had the car for one week and now the transmission is kicking it out of gear in 4th gear and it is making a whinny sound so I will have to take the car in again and have them try to fix it. They gave me a crappy Chrysler rental car that has 2 out of 5 crash rating that I drove for two days from enterprise rent a car. This is the 3rd Honda product I have owned. The first a Honday Prelude which was a great car 45,000 miles when I sold it no problems. Acura TL 3.2 2001 had it for 8 years they replaced the transmission gave me a nice loaner car for one month while they replaced the transmission. I sure hope Wilde Honda can fix this car correctly and will be calling them tomorrow. I am concerned that this problem will continue and I will not be covered under the lemon law since I took delivery of the car on November 2nd. The accord v6 is a sharp car but I don't know how reliable it is. At this point I am very dissatisfied with the quality of this car.

I have reported this problem to the dealership at least four times. Each time the excuse is "We could not duplicate the problem." When the transmission is cold, i.e., has not been run in at least a day or two, the first five to ten shifts from 2nd to 3rd gear jam. Occasionally it will reject, or grind when I let off the clutch. Other times I am able to force it into gear. Then occasionally, after the car has been run for over a hour, with lots of shifting (suburban driving), the problem re-occurs when a downshift from 4th to 3rd is called for. Same effect, when the clutch is let off, there can be grinding or gear rejection. This car is not the 6MT paired with the V6 which has a TSB for nearly the same problem. This is a 5MT with a I-4 engine.

Sometimes shifting into third gear does not work. The gear will pop out or grind. The mechanic who test drove the vehicle with me confirmed this.

Unknown what the fix is yet. But the tranny will not engage at this time. I noticed and initially believed it to be driver error. It didn't want to go into reverse sometimes. Now it just doesn't want to go into gear. It gradually got worse. Much worse. I'll find out soon what the problem and repair will be. Very disappointing to say the least when I've had the car for a week and this major problem arises.

Accord EX V6
only happened once, but it's the kind of thing you don't ever want to happen.
the R was lit up, indicating the shifter was in the right position, but engine just revved when i pressed the accelerator. having owned a previous generation v6 auto, this one feels sluggish. slow to accelerate. maybe the extra weight just brought this car down.
sad.
