Was there a question in there somewhere, or just a statement. Because the third gear conversation has been discussed already. You might want to Search for it.

 

ive alreeady serched an skimmed through all the 2001-2005 civic section i see nothing about 3rd gear

 

I just went through the existing threads, and even in the archived bits, I still can't seem to find the topic. I wonder if there hasn't been someone removing threads, or if there's an automatic removal process, because I see a lot of threads missing. Maybe the database corrupted... who knows.

Your 3rd gear synchromesh and/or borg ring is knackered. Either strip your gearbox and replace the synchro, get your Honda dealer to do it, or bang a new 'bow in and have done with it.
