You guys are misunderstanding something. The Amsoil will not "fix" the problem. The synchros are rough when they engage due to design and manufacturing; they are working the way they are supposed to, it's just that it's not as good as we would like. Yes, it's a shame that it happens in a Honda, but they've always had a bit of trouble with transmissions in the past.

The Amsoil will help with the symptoms, but it is by no means a "fix". As soon as the fluid shears down through use, the roughness will come back. Just change your fluid more often and enjoy the car for what it can do!
