3rd gear MTF change

adamhoud · 02-28-2007, 01:24 PM

Just wanted to let everyone know 2 days ago I took my car to the dealer to have them change the MTF after explaining what it did.
The lead tech listened, did not argue with me, said that he did not find any TSB's or other reports BUT there was an announcement that there was a newer fluid that helped shifting in cold weather(the new honda MTF) so he said he changed it and it felt a little better.

It feels much better to me, haven't popped 3rd gear yet, thumbs up for Ron Meyers at concord honda

How much did that cost you?

Agreed. I just did the same and it made things much better. It cost me one hour at the dealer & $0.
