Re: Transmission Fluid

Im using Amsoil MTF in my manual tranny now. Noticed a HUGE difference from the previous fluid. However, the previous fluid had 45,000 miles on it so Honda MTF also would have made a huge difference.

Re: Transmission Fluid

So there's all sorts of opinions on to flush or not. I had it flushed two years ago and shifting improved quite a bit. Although my tranny was overhauled once before and didn't have gunk in it. And i plan on doing it again soon. My question is when a flush is performed does it flush the cooling lines and the magnet?
