Re: Atf

Honda ATF/MTF has some special additives in it that these transmissions were designed to have. If you use some other brand transmission fluid your trans will likely make some funny noises.

Re: Atf

shifting becomes much harder and jumpy using other fluid types. honda atf keeps shifts smooth.
