overfilling was i BIG BIG reason y it was notchy but i have been through a lot of diff. tranny fluid in this car and amsoil is the only thing that has fixed it. i went to royal purple and it worked great and then took a crap and went for worst. then i went to the new honda stuff and it was just average. amsoil has held up great for the past 3 weeks. you are fine to change the tranny fluid.
