OMG, I couldn't believe how much difference it made after i changed my MTF. My MTF was also overfilled by factory (Approx 2 qts from factory), and after i put in 1.5 qts of new honda MTF, my SI doesn't have any 3rd gear grind or pop problems anymore, and shifting is silky, silky smooth, and now i am able to shift in gears below 1300 rpm without any hesitations coming from the engine like before. I think all the Manual Tranny problem i experienced before was coming from the high pressure in the gear box created by overfilled MTF. If i knew this sooner i would've changed my MTF the first day i got my SI backed in Jan 07!!!! For anyone who hasn't done it yet, What are you waiting for???
