I'd say the clutch if it were doing it with other gears (esp. 1st gear). Maybe synchos?

honda should cover it if it's still under warranty

also how many km's had the car done

also check the transmission/gearbox oil/fluid levels

They won't cover clutches though, since they're a "wear and tear" part
