RookieCar will shift once it hits 40 mph and has a sustained humming roaring noise. I feel for sure it is the transmission, waiting to hear back from dealership.

RookieI just had this into the dealer this morning, and they said they test drove it and could not duplicate. It hasn't been fixed. Honda needs to do a recall on 2008 Honda Accords at least, as they are experiencing many problems. I AM THINKING TOYOTA for my next car.

Will not engage on 3 rd gear....It will shift to 3 rd gear but when I released the clutch, it grinds and pops to neutral... Also, car was never driven in two years. It works at first. All other gears work great, 5 speed. Any other way to fix it other than transmission replacement.

Report #12Visitor, 2010 Honda Accord, Manual Transmission, 24,000 mi
Bought used 2010 Accord 4 cyl M/T with low 20k miles. Within a few weeks we had noticed intermittent problem upshifting into 3rd - won't always shift into gear, but double clutching usually works. Local Honda service says it was damaged by previous owner. Selling dealer (non-Honda) says it wasn't noticed by their pre-sale checks and should be covered under Honda warranty. I'm stuck in the middle. Honda TSB from 2008 covers repairs to earlier V6 M/T models, so does this mean they didn't get the design right after all?
