What are you guys doing to the tranny to grind gears? I am reasonably hard on mine and it has only grinded due to my error, not on it's own. I have a hard time getting it in to go into 1st unless I am moving less than 5mph, but no grinds. BTW, I change tranny fluid every 5K or so.

That's a complete waste... Tranny fluid can go 50k+ before 'needing' to be changed....

It really can go the life of the car in most cases...

I have heard that. However, I am more of a "safer than sorry" person and I'll tell you that I have not had the tranny issues that I have heard others talk about and I know of another Honda-Tech-er that changes his tranny fluid often and he notices no grinds. Might be something to it.
