I have a 1999 Acura TL... I just hit 100K and the car is starting to shift a little hard from 1st to 2nd and 3rd to 4th gear. Sometimes the car shifts really smooth, but im not sure if these cars are suppose to shift hard after 100K or is my tranny going to go out? I flushed and filled the tranny oil from the dealer at 89K.
I feel like after they flushed and filed the tranny it started to shift harder.
Should i not flush and fill the tranny fluid. Some people are saying not to and some are saying i should. Please help!

should shift smooth
hard shift after dealer atf change of 3 qts can occur if a lot of crud was in fluid
Might try 3 qts new honda dw1 fluid or redline atf to make it better

a lot of dealers wont do atf changes on early gen2--too risky if they never had fluid changed in 10 years!
