07 Si sedan having trouble with 3rd gear
Is anyone out there having problems with shifting into 3rd under moderate to normal acceleration? It doesnt go into gear all the way and sometimes not at all. Its pissing me off to no end 
. I only have 8000 miles on it. If anyone has had this problem could you let me know what it was and what was done to fix it. It would be appreciated. Thanks alot.

Let your car warm up. hold your clutch and shift into all the gears a few times. That should take care of it. People hear are so rude sometime, so search for thing you need.

Re: (FlatlineSI28)
I know the RSX has had a 3rd gear issue as well. I'm wondering if it has to due with the tranny only holding ~1.6 quarts of fluid versus a b-series that holds a quart more.
it interesting, especially since the issues with 3rd seem to happen after a period of time and go away almost completely with a fluid change.
just a theory

oh, I was just saying accords have trouble with third gear also, I didn't know how much fluid they held. My manager just got an 06 or 07 (i cant remember exactly what year) accord coupe v6 6spd manual and he was complaining about the 3rd gear grind.
