That's odd; with new fluids it should work even better (at least mine sure did). I stayed with Honda MTF; did you?

I had my tranny and diff fluids replaced recently. Shifting got much improved, but went back to normal in about 1,000 miles. I'm about to switch to synthetic (Redline). Anyone else have a hard time getting into 6, or is my elbow just shaped wrong? :-)

[B]Is the release point close to the floor?? Try adjusting the clutch release point a little higher.

Bump again.....I'm confused since alot of people say that the Honda MTF fluid is just as good as REDLINE MT-90 while others said the REDLINE product is better.....

I haven't heard people say the MTF is as good as the MT-90. Just that the MTF works well for them and in the owners manual they specifically say use Honda fluid for the tranny. For the diff they don't specify brand.

Of course you can adjust the engagement point and pedal freeplay...unless this Honda is VERY different than everything else. Is your clutch pedal freeplay within spec?
