what the others have said....

I've tried redline MTL.....it was nice when i first put it in, but I'd stay away from it. I'm currently using the GM synchromesh. Feels the same as when I had Honda MTF

ive been using redline MTL for about 25K now and have had no problems with it. shifting has been smooth as ever, especially under hard driving.

HONDA MTL is not necessarily the best. its good for everyday driving with occasionaly WOT's. But if you're pedal is to the floor all day, everyday, you would want something designed for that kind of driving style.....REDLINE MTL

honda only has one type of MTF for b-series motors, so ask for that

you can pour the fluid in from the speed sensor hole if you dont feel like doing the less that scientific "pour until it begins to spill and get the bolt back in as fast as you can" method haha

to drain your fluid all out all you need is 3/8" socket wrench to crack the tranny drain plug loose
