Have you checked to make sure the wheels are on tight?
Sounds stupid yes but i've been fooled a few times before thinking it was the diff (mainly because i was aldready having issues with it (this was in an mx5)).
And in the euro i thought it may have been CV's because i had just been to a track day the day before.
these were the first things i thought of too
the car goes to the Honda shop on Monday and they're going to strip it down then let me know what the problem is and the cost of parts and labour
the honda dealer has finally found time to pull my gearbox apart (what a struggle that was)
also some paperwork has been sent to Honda Australia to see what they can do about covering some costs (maybe parts but prob. not labour) cos even though its out of warranty the dealer believes a 4 yr old car with only 43000kms shouldn't have gearbox problems
YAY!!!!
finally got my car back.the problem was found to be "teeth missing off diff crown wheel and off most gears,also metal fragments throughout gearbox". They ended up replacing the whole gearbox. Honda decided to pay half the cost of gearbox as "good will to customer" ,although i had to pay for labour as well.
11 hours? It doesn't take 11 hours to replace a gearbox, unless they charged you for the initial disassembly to determine the cause of the problem. Even so, it won't take 11 hours to remove a gearbox, disassemble the casing and look at the gears.

it's like how lawyers charge. I'd bet my next pay packet that 90% of labour charged at dealerships is overstated. If you total num of hours worked for all their mechs, vs what was billed to a customer on a particular day, you'd find latter will definitely be higher.
