Re: Tranny Swap

(assuming you have an automatic transmission) Use Honda fluid. Its a bit more pricey but thats what honda recommends. Your transmission will run much smoother with Honda fluid than with any other brand.

Re: Tranny Swap

i've also heard that syncromesh leaves wax in your motor when it goes bad. and royal purple is better for engines and redline for gear oil.

I have an automatic, but I use royal purple in my engine and tons of my friends use it in their manual transmissions and love it.
