Hi all
I bought a Type R GT with 2,100 miles (approx) in June this year. 2.0l petrol, 65 plate, registered Jan 2016. Since then it's gone to the garage twice with gearbox issues. These issues have included: gear lever completely jamming between neutral & 5th, unable to select 5th, and changing in/out of 5th is very stiff. After 2 months the first visit resulted in replacing the 5th & 6th gear synchro hub assembly and bearings, and 6 weeks after its return it's back with the garage with 5th unavailable once more.
Has anyone had a similar experience or related problems?

Ex-demonstrator car from @Honda_UK suffers 2 gearbox failures in 4 months, but they say it’s “my driving style”. Utter nonsense. #ThePowerOfBadDreams #ThePowerOfNightmares
