i would not change the fluid specially if you are still under warrenty. 100,000 miles. just let the tranny die if it is going to. and get a new one. dont try to save a dieing tranny.

but if you still want to get the honda ATF fluid from the local dealer. its 3 bottles ($15) per drain and fill.

might want to get ready to bring it in and they may get a goodwill replacement done. being 17 you may also want to bring a parent. not saying anything about you just saying that having an adult there they may be more willing to work with you.

my tranny has 75k, not original. i just did a DIY flush using regular Dexron 3 compatable but added lubegard to make it compatable. the combo makes it cheaper if you dont mind mixing your own fluid. i think it might be better to buy honda fluid but adding lubegard is supposed to make it compatable, but its up to you. i have a rough shift when shifting 2-3 and a flare/slip from 3-4. the shift is smoother but i think the slip is happening more. it didnt used to slip everytime, not it almost does. just my . hope it helps, and good luck

With that mileage on it you may just want to bring it in and see if acura will good will you a new one. The longer you wait the less likely they will be to do so. At that mileage you very well may get a new one.
