How often to change?

Better to go with AMsoil if an option?

Magnetic drain bolts? Yay?

TIA!!

Cheers

- Sun Feb 24, 2008 7:49 am #43622 Car is starting to get harder to shift.

Might need to readjust my clutch pedal. Master Cyl was just replace a month ago.

maybe my pressure plate is going out too?

Not sure.

- Mon Feb 25, 2008 6:23 am #43673 If the car is getting harder to shift, Changing the Oil would be a good idea.

I have yet to change the fluid in my Tranny since I put my current one in. Its been in for 6-7 Months or so now, So its probably okay. I put in Normal 10-40 Motor Oil in my Tranny when I swapped the transmission In.

Changing Tranny Fluid is a cheaper thing to test then replacing the Pressure Plate . Hope that Solves the problem, Realistically it probally wont be the end of the Issue though.

Also I believe that manual D trannys already have a magnet inside them. But if a magnetic drain plug gives you reassurance, then pick one up

- Tue Mar 04, 2008 6:32 pm #44712 I also use MTF3 oil for the tranny, only since we swapped the clutch though.
Before I always used 10w40 motor oil, but I like MTF3 better.
When cold you benefit most from it, as it slips easier into gear, especially first or reverse.

- Wed Jun 30, 2010 3:05 am #202549 bring this thread back alive. Since most have Manual on this site, I want to find out if anyone got a Auto that uses Amsoil ATF (universal) as they should lower the temp compare to Honda ATF.

What do you think?

- Thu Jul 01, 2010 12:11 am #202714 NO! Don't use anything other than Honda ATF on an AT.

For MT I use Honda MTF or Torco. I've tried others ie synchromesh. But I've never experienced the miraculous tranny repairs that others have experienced with a fluid change.

- Thu Jul 22, 2010 8:28 am #205743 well, if you have extra dough, then go with a magnetic drain bolt. (it works well) ive tried redline tranny oil with my eg, so far so good.
