96 Civic transmission fluid and timing belt
I'm going to be changing the transmission fluid in my 96 Civic as it hasn't been done for sometime now. I read that you must use Honda ATF for this transmission. Can I substitute the Honda ATF for a good quality Dexron III? The Honda ATF is more than twice as expensive as a good quality name brand ATF. Also, I'm going to be changing the timing belt, tensioner and water pump since I don't have any records of it being changed recently. I would like to get a kit that includes everything I need. Someone suggested Contitech and they have a kit for around $100. Is it any good?

I used max life valvoline -- for atf fluid.
For the timing belt.... Id get the OEM one. You can find em on ebay with tensioner and water pump, for like 60 bucks last time I looked...

OEM timing belt and water pump. It can be found on ebay for $149 w/out tensionor.
I bought one it came with all 4 belts, water pump, cam seal, and oil seal. $149 shipped. The tensionor can be found for another 40-50 bucks for OEM as well.
