Just change it more often. 15k miles or less. Less if you track it.

I change MTF every 10k... if you want to try something different, the only thing other than Honda MTF I would recommend is BGSynchroshift. Good stuff... but Honda MTF does just fine for me.

thats what it was bg , i said b&m . . ooops. aight, illchange it with honda stuff again and see if that helps. i just feel soo bad for this tranny they suck as it is and mines is taking one hell of a beating . all kinsd of wheel hop, hard launches and hard *** shifts. i dont see it lasting too much longer. im more pesamistic since the syncros already went and 5th gear at like 6500 miles or so . and the clutch was rocked right about then too .

If you drive your R like you stole it, then maybe you should change your MTF a lot sooner than 10k miles.

Here's a site that popped up using google (search words: BG Synchroshift)
