dextron III chevron has never done me wrong.
if u want to pay more go for the above, but i have tried honda atf and i did not like it.
my car has been drinking dextron III since the first day, and till today it still shifts great.
honda atf is super smooth but for me it sliped between shifts for some reason.
mine just has a small nudge when i shift...just a little...What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.
You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

I just got my honda, and it has a heavy shift. Would adding some tranny fluid help out with this issue?Comment

actually just change the fluid..you should be better off with that.
buy 3 or 4 quarts of atf and then drain and then fill.What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

Is it easy to drain the fluid? I'm not any pro...this is just my first car
Would it be worthwhile to just take it to the dealer for them to drain and add the fluid for me?Comment

jack up front end, remove passenger front wheel, there is a drain plug that you'll need a 3/8" wratchet or breaker bar on, and drain. Replace ATF fluid with Dexron/Mercon III, Honda ATF, Royal Purple, Redline...whatever you want. Fill through the dipstick check in engine bay...the yellow colored dipstick (at least it is on our 91 SE). Fill to recommended capacity.
Turn on engine, let it warm up ...then hit brake, shift through all gears & back up to park. Check level again while idling still and fill more if you must.
don't take it to dealerComment

OK...thanks for the help.Comment

you dont need to remove the wheel to drain the fluid. Ive done it twice without removing the wheel. You just need to get the car jacked up and reach around the wheel.Comment
-
Dont even screw around with jacks.....just drive the passenger wheel onto a bigass brick....and dont be a dumbass like me and burn your ass off, let the engine cool before you try to change the fluidComment

with 180,000 miles i want to change the tranny fluid and filter but is that more trouble than its worth? i know you have to remove the tranny pan to do it but other than that i dont know. any directions or should i just have it done somewhere. i dont like anyone i dont really know working on my car (espically the transmission) that is why ive done everything myself and with my stepdads help but ive heard its a pain to do and im willing to just bring it to a respectable shop not the dealerComment

um my car is near 80k, i want to bump this back up, the guy that last posted was about trans filter as well. i wanna know more bout it ... anyhow i have a few questions.
is there s specific weight for honda atf? about how much should i buy and what price is decent?
what do u mean by slipping?
thanks..hahahahahComment
