for the entire time i have had my car i have had a problem with the 3rd gear syncro (it would crunch when i shifted into it unless i double clutched) the rest of the transmission was fine.

i did change my MTF to valvoline max life (probably not a good idea) but i was workin on my car and i put genuine honda MTF in and a full bottle of Lucas Transmission Fix (topped off with MTF)
and well i was like okay i bet this wont do shit, and the first time i drove no difference, i waited about 6 hours and i drove again (right before i wrote this) and shit it dosent crunch anymore!!! i cant get it to crunch!! is it true that some addative actually lived up to their claims (or am i dreaming? i dont have to take apart my transmission???)

i wonder if any of their other stuff works mericles? hmm
well anyways if anyone has transmission problems, TRY GETTING HONDA MTF and the lucas stuff before you spend ALOT OF money
(In all it only cost ~$20)!

Ha I am not the only one before I had the tranny rebuilt I had major second gear syncro problems so I tried changing the oil with just plain MTF just got worse. So I tried lucas worked wonderful I could not believe it.. I have also used their fuel injector cleaner and I alaways use their oil stabliser. I suggest using 3 quarts mobil 1 or valvoling max life 5w30 and 1 bottle stabliser.

Yeah, some brands keep true with what they claim. When I first got my 3g, it had a really tiny leak in the power steering lines somewhere and I could never get it traced, and I finally found some Power Steering fluid that could also be used to seal hairline cracks/holes. I bought it just for the hell of it, because I needed fluid anyway, AND it was only $.50 more, but sure enough it worked! I havent had a leak since and it's been 2+ years.

if you are doing the tranny fluid change, how do you get the oil in the little hole?

you do it by using the exciting new and revolutionary invention called the funnel!! Works wonders for pouring fluids in hard to reach places! Get yours now for only $19.99!!

Lol i'm messing with you, but a funnel should do the trick nicely.

With a long funnel, about 1.5 feet long. :) Works great!

I use the lucas stuff it comes in a squeese bottle so after I put it in the tranny I just refill it with honda MTF and use the squeese bottle.
