Have a look at the Type R owners website, there is a lot of new information. The key points:
- The fault seems to affect a few random cars.
- There appears to be a fix out.

" Just spoke with a nice lady on the number listed above who assured me a fix was out 4-6 weeks ago - in the form of a new 3rd gear synchro. She took my details, established my local dealer was City Honda in Basingstoke and is phoning them to get them to call me to book may car in to have the fix applied.
Couldn't be simpler! All that fretting about having a fight on my hands for nothing
I suggest anyone who has the same issue does the same as me and let's hope the new synchro fixes it once and for all.
No mention of freebies yet though.......
**UPDATE**
Have just had City Honda on the blower - the fix has been out in Japan for the Civic Hybrid for 4-6 weeks, however, the part is not on general release via honda tech in the UK. Hence the disconnect between some people saying there is a fix and some poeple saying there isn't one over here yet. The tech at my dealer told me to take my car in tomorrow, they'll fill out a report and then using that and my initial call to Honda UK, they will request the specific part for a fix to my car. Let's see what happens - I just hope their courtesy car isn't a Jazz!!!! "
