I've noticed that I've had to shift sooner now that my car has 11000 miles. Used to be I can take 2nd gear to 80 and 3rd gear to 110. Now I have to shift around 70 and 100. I hope that a transmission fluid change will fix this. Anyone notice this? Can someone with a decent amount of mileage on their car, and no transmission fluid change, see where their shifting point is? I'm kinda woried it might be the tranny. Have already check everything else. At first I thought the second intake runner wasn't opening up, but checked that and sure enough it does. I do drive pretty hard and like to race my friends (M3's, SC's... etc.)

 

Yes, you are due to the "dealership" at 15K. That is when they change the "special" honda tranny oil. Don't fu*K around with that tranny or you will regret. My car shifts much better now after the service at 15K !

Hey Fabvsix how much did you pay for your 15k service?

 

It is included in the 15K service. The list is from bumper to bumper. They check everything, so don't tamper with the service checks ! Change your own oil etc...but don't mess with the service requirements esp. under warranty. Est. good rapure with a dealership. It is well worth the long term investment.
Just my 2 cents !

Well, probably too much in your book, but they gave me a brand new RL ! That is correct RL baby ! I had it for 3 days, because, there was a leak in the air filter box, that they had to order a new one and that took a day or so ! $389.95 I believe ! They could have given me a tired POS rental, but I like to build relationships with a good dealership and make them kiss ass !
