finally changed the trans fluid
sorry, no pics.
finally got to drain out the old fluid, man was it dark! did the ol' drain and fill process until the fluid was that pure cherry syrup color. my car rides so much smoother and shifting in the sport shift is almost like keeping it in auto d5 it shifts so smooth.
after every drain and fill i ran through the gears r n d5-1 then repeat the other way and drove it for a while.
the guy supervising was a transmission guru, he was trained by the richard petty school and worked for The King and knew almost everything about cars so i trusted his judgment and knowledge.
anything i should watch out for now?

only need to do the up and down thru the gears a few times.. within 5 minutes driving-
thats per acura
keeps the under car temp down so you can work, and lessens old and new fluid mixing
