3rd gear trouble?

Does anybody have any issues with getting into 3rd gear with their manual gearboxes? I have an 07 tl-s 6sp and sometimes it does not want to go in or pops out. Same thing with my friends civic si, could be a honda thing. Any comments?

Most every one that had this problem used GM syncromesh friction modified fluid.

Get that MTF out now, and use the GM stuff!


the GM magic juice cured my 3rd gear pop out.

if you want more testimonials, just search for the term "GM syncromesh"

There is also a Acura Service Bulletin on this. Check the "garage".
