Everyone who uses amsoil or syncromesh and all have problems after a while. I don't know about the RP but I haven't had 1 single problem in 10000 miles and my car was BAD. I couldn't get it into 3rd gear at all when it was cold.
Well while I agree trans fluid can virtually change a feel of a gearbox and in this case drivability.
It should not be on the owner's arms to play R&D for American Honda.
If the fluid honestly can prevent syncro breakdown Honda should be have it manufactured.

I mean honestly, go in and tell your dealer your transmission problem and tell them GM Syncromesh will fix it.
They may know it would but, they could never use it as a solution and nor should the Honda owners be required to.

Time will tell.
