I've posted this in another thread, but:

The best mod for shifting, in my experience, is using Specialty Formulations' MTL-P. I have the '06 Si, and it's smoothed up the shifting to the point of eliminating my 3rd gear notchiness. Currently, I only have the Comptech SS, and the combination is heavenly! The synthetic fluid (100% PAO) makes a huge difference in shift quality. I suppose any synthetic lube will have a similar effect, but the SF-MTL-P is for Honda trannies and works very well. There are brass deactivators to help protect the synchros, and it's many, many times better than Honda MTF.

Don't think about it. Just buy it. You won't regret it, I promise. I didn't think a fluid could have so much effect on shift feel until I used it.
