I recently bought my 2003 CL Type S 6MT with about 82k miles on it. I think I should be changing the tranny fluid to eliminate some of the notchiness in the shifts. What is your guys opinion? Also what fluid should I use when I change it? The stock stuff is 7 bucks a quart at the Acura dealership, but is there something better?

 

I just went to the honda dealer, and got the MTF.. its been reformulated to help with the notchiness now i believe.

 

I just had the new Honda mtf put in mine, works a lot better.

 

I got the new fluid and it helped. If you dont think it has been changed recently of you dont know change it anyway. Make sure the fluid is the reforlulated version. check out this thread.

Some people have done senchromesh by GM and said it works wonders. I need to do mine. They said it was one of the best mods that they have done.


I ll let you know how I like it when do mine prob. this week

 

The GM stuff works better than the old Honda stuff but the new Honda oil works as well as the GM, some folks say better.

Stick with Honda.

 

The previous owner of my car changed it with the new Honda fluid just a couple weeks before selling it to me. Shifts great.

 

I'm doin this asap.

 

How do you know that you got the new formula? I asked a mechanic at the dealer about it and he didn't know the formula changed.

 

My dealer didn't know either, but when we looked at what was on the shelf it was the new stuff. New stuff is pink, old is gold. Also the part number changed.

 

The tread I linked in my post above has the part numbers and other info.
