Transmission Gearbox - Type R 3rd gear

eddie1010 · 23rd October 2007, 09:00

Hi,
Currently an owner of the new type R Gt, I am experiencing some gearbox issues.
I recieved the car 3 months late

.
Whithin 2 weeks of reciept of the car noticed some issues.
The main one being the gearbox, third gear is difficult to locate and keeps popping out. This has been back to the garage, with no fix, only to be told the they have contacted Honda Technical and are awaiting a response?
Anybody have this issue? or heard anything about it?
The Gearstick also fell out at one stage, the door seals have been change, which was a known fault with the old type R, the rear plastic panel seals at indicators has also had to be looked at as it takes on moisture inside the panel.
Regards
Ed

Hi eddie1010 welcome to the forum

The fault you have is a well known issue with the type R's and is well documented on this forum. Have a look through the tranmission section of the forum

In fact try this 3rd gear

Hi Eddie1010

When did you take delivery of your Type R - the third gear problems seem to affect the early ones and there are rumours of a fix - see the third gear thread noted in M4rky post.

I have read on another forum this morning that Honda are working on a problem with the 3rd gear hubs

They think, (only speculation) that Honda will have a fix for this issue sometime next month.

Apparently (and again I can only tell you what I have read) Honda have already tried to cure this problem and failed. Lets see what the next few weeks hold
