Which ever direction you guys choose, let us know how things work out.
When Honda was looking at my transmission, they refilled my car with old Honda MTF without asking me. For my car, that stuff doesn't work.

Whenever I get around to it, I'll switch to the new Honda MTF..if that doesn't work, then Amsoil.

I'm a happy customer of the New Honda MTF fluid. Make sure you guys get the white cap as those are the '07 bottles. It felt great the first day.... second day I gotta say the smoothness went a little rougher but still smoother then before. All in all I'm very pleased with it and it makes shifting a lot easier. Thumbs up for new honda MTF

Report back in one month...your review will change. I agree GM is good, but wears off VERY quickly, and the feel becomes worse than stock. I switched to amsoil, and couldnt be happier.


I couldn't agree more... as you can see.

You can buy the GM stuff for $20 (for two quarts), or you can buy the generic syncromesh stuff for $12 from autozone or pepboys. As long as you can change your own fluids (not hard at all), it would be worth it to try at least once.
It is not generic it is the same, as long as it is the Penzoil brand

I change the trans fluid every 6000 miles. By the third change I let it go for another 3000 miles and it still felt great. I think that it may work well for one trans but not for another I say find what works for you and were you live.

When I put gm syncromesh in my tranny it made it feel brand new. Also don't buy the stuff from a cadallac dealer, it cost like $10 more per qt.

I'm doing my tranny tomorrow with the 07 Acura fluid. HTG ran out of the Honda stuff, so he sent me the Acura Additionally, I am changing the diff fluid with Almasol LE-607 90W.

(giggles at idea of buying manual transmission fluid at a cadillac dealer... yeah I know they have some, but it's still funny)
