About a few months ago, i noticed when trying to shift into 2nd from 1st, there is a slight grind. I have owned this car for 2 months ago and just had the tranny fluid changed with Mobil 1 10w30 about 7K miles ago.
Something isn't right about this sentence

Hint: Timeline



Anyway, try the Honda MTF.

Take that redline trash out. Put NEW honda mtf in. do a full flush given all the crap you have had in there, different oils can react with each other causing separation.

Change the mtf oil every other oil change.

And pull straight back don't pull it over to the driver side at all.

you can use 10w-30 in a pinch, but tranny fluid has extra components designed for a tranny! I have tried redline, GM Syncro, the old honda MTL and currently the new MTL and liked the GM and new honda MTL the best!

every other oil change? overkill if you ask me. unless your changing your oil every 7.5k
