Manual transmission fluid change?
What kind of fluid do u guys used in your changes? 3rd gear sometimes grind on cold days. Does anyone used a redline, royal purple or gm's? Which one is the best for our tranny? Thanks in advance.

over on the 3rd gen TL side, we use GM syncromesh modified fluid.
no one has figured out what specifically makes the GM syncromesh modified fluid so much better than the honda fluid.
the GM stuff cured my 3rd gear grind/pop out.
in fact, I'm about to do it again, as its been about 30k miles for me.

I had a 2008 Accord with a 5MT and had the same issue with 3rd Gear pop-out. I never got around to changing the fluid, instead i changed the car lol. Now the 6MT on my TSX also does that too so i'm thinking of changing it.
I have heard the GM is the stuff to use in Honda/Acura MTs. Anyone done this change themselves? and how'd it go - Any tips?
