I don't know about ep3, but if it is and RSX and it was made before half way in 05 it might be the synchros. There is a deffinite problem with alot of them in that tranny. If it is that you are looking at big money.

Yeah then you have to trust the tech to tear apart your tranny and pray he puts it back together right. It might be different in other places but I know more about my car than some of the techs at the damn dealership close to my house. It comes down to who you trust.
