And yeah, I had it fixed when it first came out. It popped out on me two times the first adn second day I had it back. It hasn't since, it's still pretty notchy, but I've come to expect that from this transmission. As long as it doesn't grind or pop out anymore, I'm fine.
But Honda still won't address second gear grinds, which are pretty frequent in many Si's too.

Every manufacturer has trouble like this. Go surf GM truck forums, or Ford or Dodge truck forums or any other auto forum you can think of.
My '07 Avalanche has a transmission that is effectively a 25yr old design that is still about as likely to have problems as yours. It already has a delayed, harsh 1/2 shift when cold. Look at all the problems GM, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota and everybody else has had over the years. This is TINY compared to some of the things that happen.
For instance....we install an average of 2-3 sets of sway bar links and bushings on the Chrysler vans per week. Same with steering racks, shift packs. We also replace a TON of u-joints, ball joints, steering shafts, evaporators and radiators on the Dodge trucks. They've been having these problems for many years. No updated parts, no TSB's, no recalls and no warranty extensions. It was the same at the Ford dealer I worked at and it is the same with GM.
