I second that fellas, have had my fair share of crappy aftersales crap from honda aust, has got me know where. ( my car a lemon :( )

They obviously feeling the pinch of not enough sales, heads might roll so denial denial denial, no leeks, very tight nit group, collaboration btw Honda Aust. and dealerships at it's best...there stories always match ( Even if it's WHITE, they say no it's BLACK !! )

Wish you guys all the best.....

After sales in most automotive companies is quite poor...for instance my mother has Mercedes 4WD and shes had nothing but pathetic service from Mercedes. The people that sold her the car initially don't handle any of the after sales queries and you get nothing but poor service from the service staff. I'm not defending Honda, but it seems to be a problem in most companies at the moment, but then again I am yet to see poor after sales from Honda..hopefully I don't but I can see where your coming from.

LOL, he loves your gearbox. hehehe.
Did you take any vids of your driving?

cheers buddy
I posted a thread in the Gallery section
seeing that this is becoming unrelated to the topic of this thread hehe

Sorry to get back to the topic at hand, but has anyone received any more information on the third gear issue?

Notchy 2nd & 3rd gear is becoming a honda trend these days... Honda Australia have the worst service. You tell them about Honda overseas have notified the problem... and they say we havent heard of it.. I hate how they act dumb. Get the problem fixed before you continue selling more honda's with dodgy gear box's

Hi Guys ... newbie to the this forum.

I came across this forum the night before I went for my much anticipated test drive of the Type R.

I would have purchased the car that day but this 3rd gear problem left me thinking that it would be better to wait till it is sorted out .. especially as I live in the colder climate of Canberra where this could be an issue.

I've been in two minds since, with posts (here and on the UK forum) indicating that it is not such a serious problem while other posts such as above indicating that it is.

The UK forum indicates that a fix is available late Sep to Oct.

I hope they sort it out as I cant wait to get one.
