Well I went over to Honda in NJ today to get a fresh oil change ( wasn't due by wanted to get one anyway & had the trans flushed and put in the new Honda MTF..


Just pulling out of the dealership was Feels like a brand new car and the shifts are ULTRA smooth, i could barely even feel the form of the shifter zero notchiness. Dealership was about 20-30 minutes from my house so nothing crazy in terms of getting on it . But If it was a pepsi challenge you'd totally notice it.

And get this


if you call your honda stealer and want a flush... its 99 bux

if you walk to parts... buy the trans fluid & washers its 12 dollars & 50 for service to do it ... so just by going to parts.... followed by service u save 30ish

 

 

they charged me 69.99 for the fluid and flush

gotta love lower cost of living in the southeast

really does make a HUGE difference though

 

thanks for the head up Mike

 

whatd i tell ya man...like a brand new tranny...should have tried to get it warranteed!

F that I'm just happy the supercharger went under the radar

 

ha ha ha ... im sure the tech noticed it when he moved it from the shop area.

 

I should definitely get on this...

 

Since we're on topic...how do I verify if they've got the new fluid? Part #?

Not when the Tech is from Honda-tech

 

We only charge 59 for a trans service. i did mine like 2 weeks ago and i couldnt agree with you more mike...

 

With my other FI Hondas I had to use slightly heavier synthetic oil to help it last. The tranny runs hotter and is under additional stress. Prob have to change out the MTF more frequently now.

 

I changed mine awhile back with M1 Syn. Big difference in shifts. I had read that they were overfilling the trans. That was the cause of the notchiness and 3rd gear grind

 

Is this for 06s SIs only or will it help on the 07s also??

 

Depends on mileage of the car and driving conditions. Should not make a diff between 06 and 07. Hes FI though, thus more strain on the tranny and added heat.

 

When you went to parts to get the trans fluid and washers what specifically did you ask for?

 

Will this stop the 2cd gear grinding it happened again to me today and i wasent even punching it when i went into 2cd gear it dosent happen often but when it does its so depressing i was at 3500rpm and it still grinded.

The part numbers are in the FAq that TRE wrote up on how to flush the trans.
I was fortunate enough that John(michael bolton) picked up fluid last week and grabbed me 2 bottles.

Nothing will 100% completely remedy it..

however... it will decrease it from happening substantially.
