thats the hundred thousand dollar question
ever change your fluid? No- then stay with 3 qts honda fluid

replacement trans with under 50kmiles- get on the redline

any current trans issues?

whats the trans current mileage--original or replacement unit- date of replacement

100kmiles would be high without a fluid change--should do those every 15-30k
some are doing 3 with every engine oil change!!

I changed from Z1 to Redline D4 synthetic and found a considerable improvement in my shifting at all rpm's. I bought a whole case of it and I came out paying cheaper per quart. I also changed over to Amsoil synthetic engine oil and it is holding up alot better under prolong periods of high rpm and speed as is the Redline D4.
