Default Dont use trans-x in your auto accords

I recently got a 6th gen accord with the famous auto tranny slipping problem,well i did the drain and refill with dw1 fluid it helped it out a lot absolutly no slipping so far for 3k miles, well today i put a 15oz bottle of trans-x in hoping for it to make it last longer and immediatly shifting became irratic and is weird and loss of power and when i stop it feels like someone rear ends me everytime it has like a hard buck,it did that before but not as bad and not as often,i think i just took some life off my tranny and my check engine light came on also which leads me to believe its a tranny code man why did i do it lol but still no slipping its just odd now do not use trans x in 6th gen accords it does not seem to like dw1 fluid and 6th gens lol

That's weird. I used that stuff in my toyota camry v6 auto and it worked like a charm. It sounds like it was already going out so I doubt it was the trans-x.
