Notchiness or crunching happens often between shift from 1st to 2nd gear and occasionally from 3rd to 2nd gear. The transmission doesn't go into reverse sometimes until some clutch play.

everyones complaining and doing the petition thing, but does Honda of America even know about the petition? have you guys even sent it to them? what're they saying?? UPDATES!! because just doing the petition won't change crap, its a waste of time. make sure they get this and fix the dam problem. sorry bout being too serious, but im getting tired of my tranny
Dude, you need to take a step back ok. First off, it isn't a huge ass issue. Like a safety one, where a recall would be in order. Some folks have problems and some don't. When you try or do put her into first going faster than 15 miles per hour like you, then you are going to f*ck all kinds of stuff up. That is how your tranny gets f*cked up. See a pattern ;)Quote:

This petition won't change anything. In my humble legal opinion, Honda of America has made a good faith effort to remedy the situation, to wit: There is a TSB for our transmission (although related to the RSX, it also is for ours). No recall has been made because certain elements have yet to be met. A lil reading for y'all:

From now on, automakers must refer to all "safety improvement campaigns" as "recalls," the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) decreed today. The agency said the change is effective immediately.
It may seem nonsensical but the agency has been letting automakers waffle about whether a campaign to replace or improve a component is a "real" recall. The legal obligations surrounding a recall are more stringent than those that apply to a "fix." For one thing, recalls are immediately released to the press, resulting in negative publicity.
Recalls are also retained indefinitely in the NHTSA database and dealers generally make a more stringent effort to notify customers and encourage them to bring their vehicles in quickly. "Fixes" have not previously been in the database and motorists who miss the initial mailing may not find out about them.
The distinction grew out of NHTSA's 1995 decision to let Chrsyler use an "improvement campaign" to fix about four million minivan rear-hatch latches. Automotive News quoted unidentified NHTSA sources as saying automakers have increasingly been trying to avoid calling their repairs recalls.
Still in a gray zone are the many "maintenance bulletins" automakers issue for problems that are not deemed to be safety-related. Motorists learn of these only if their mechanic tells them or they learn about it through the Internet.
"We are following all accepted practices for our industry and have provided for the customer what the law requires and beyond. The transmission issue does not merit a recall as the problem will be resolved while still under our warranty. As this TSB is for new cars, all new Honda customers have years for this minor defect to be fixed free of charge. Further, this poses no risk to harm of any occupants or fellow drivers."
