Changing Tranny Fluid
Ive grinded my gears a bit forgetting to push the clutch in all the way, should I change my tranny oil soon to get the metal debris out of there, or will it be fine untill im ready for suggested interval change?
Also any diff between regular tranny oil and synthetic?
thanks.

Matt, use genuine Honda MTF to get the best feel out of your tranny... trust me. If the dealer says to use 10W30, slap him across his fat mouth, and tell him you didn't come for advice, you came for genuine Honda MTF. Ohhhhh, but you should be okay for now... wait a couple of months when you've gotten all the grinding out of your system
Diff't trannys use diff't materials and processes, so one MTF is not good for all trannys, that's why we use only genuine Honda MTF.

Depends on how bad your dealer wants to screw you... mine didn't even stock Honda MTF, so I got stuck using 10W30, but it feels so notchy... now I know better so I'm gonna order ahead, but it's like $10 a liter, and you need under 4 liters I think?? Last time I got a 4 liter of Castrol GTX and I had a little bit left, so about 3.5 liters I guess...

the fluid is about 21 dollars i think for 3 liters. what what i paid, three bottle for my d16y7. and it was easy just take off the drain and fill plugs, drain and then get a funnel witha hose attached to it to refill it. oh, don't forget to put back the drain plug before you refill. and when the trany doen' hold anymore then close it up and take if for a short drive, (like down the drive way and back) and then cheack the fill plug to make sure that it's topped off.
