Problem after Honda MTF change..

samx109 · 04-12-2007, 11:18 AM

okay so after i changed my MTF 3rd gear became smoother without grinding and popping out

BUT, now i kind of have problems with 2nd gear.. like when i'm shifting 1st to 2nd it grinds but it engages fully..<-- its not bad as old 3rd gear problem yea.. does anybody have problems like this?

What did u change to?

samx109 · 04-12-2007, 11:20 AM

new honda MTF

i was going to get Amsoil MTF but i just decided to go to the dealership and get MTF changed for free..

I changed to the new Honda MTF, and life has been fine. I also have the short-shifter, BB, & CB setup.

whitecivicsi · 04-12-2007, 11:24 AM

Well is it like that all the time or does it happen only when the car is still cold?

I've notice something similar also when the car is cold but nothing big. Hope its not a big problem.

I actually have the amsoil in my car and its nice man. GL fixing it

Well looky there...that seems to be your problem. Improved fluid my ass, same Honda crap that was in it to begin with.

samx109 · 04-12-2007, 11:28 AM

i have shorshifter, base and cable bushings but it still grinds and stuff..

well 3rd gear grinded once like couple weeks ago (i got my MTF changed like 2~3months ago)

i dont think the temp matters cause 2nd gear grinds randomly (cold temp high temp)

i mean it really fixed 3rd gear but i just dont like how 2nd gear feels.. esp when i'm trying to shift fast

is it okay to change my MTF again?

Will06SI · 04-12-2007, 11:54 AM

I had the same issue with 2cd gear yesturday it grinded at wot when i went in from 1st gear which has only happend to me once or twice before. My 2cd gear is notchy alot even on downshifts its complete BS but i know if i take it in they will jerk me anyway. I guess i need the amsoil or honda mtf upgrade good luck with yours.

samx109 · 04-12-2007, 10:36 PM

hmm.. i want to try out amsoil one..

blueroadster · 04-12-2007, 10:55 PM

Have you noticed a consistent pattern for the grinding when shifting into second? Does it still grind after the transmission has warmed up?

I've got several bottles of Royal Purple tranny fluid (bought too much) if you want to give that a shot.

samx109 · 04-13-2007, 11:18 PM

yea sure man for how much? can you PM me for prices?

I'd have to find the receipt to check on the price...I'll sell for whatever I paid. Come to think of it, I have a huge box full of stock parts and other crap as well so let me know if you need anything more on the 28th.

***Zeuceone*** · 04-13-2007, 11:23 PM

the new honda mtf is better than the old one but not much of an improvement.

yea it sucks man.. i'm really disappointed but oh well.. it was free..

***Zeuceone*** · 04-13-2007, 11:29 PM

well the good things was it was free.

blueroadster · 04-13-2007, 11:35 PM

No problem...I've got five bottles of the stuff. It won't take long at all to change out. I've also got a bunch of Motul RBF600 brake fluid, case of Royal Purple oil, etc. (I have a bad habit of collecting tools, parts and supplies).

samx109 · 04-13-2007, 11:37 PM

hahaha alright we'll see about those fluids and stuff, but i doubt i'm going to buy those =P

Not trying to push you to buy anything...I'll use them eventually, but wanted to let you know that they are available.

samx109 · 04-13-2007, 11:44 PM
