I don't know Honda's price for their fluid.

I've been fine with Mobile 1 ATF and a bottle of B&M trick shift...
Though who knows if I'm loosing any power... I don't think using hondas fluid would be that big of a difference.

BTW where did you buy a B&M rebuild kit for the Transmission?

[PogiLXI]

I didnt Buy it. The people that Rebuilt my Trannys. I belive they used B&M products.

Just thought I'd let you know.

hmm, I dont know If I have any use for the Tranny cooler, I thought our trannys already had a cooler.

[A20A1]

Yeah, the stock cooler is a skinny pipe that runs thru the bottom of the radiator... I think that was a bad idea... but oh well.

[PogiLXI]

AHHH I see. If I put a Tranny cooler, Will It need a inline pump???

[A20A1]

nope... just pull off one of the transmission lines from the radiator... possible the one closest to the passenger side since you'll need less hose to reach it... connect one hose from the radiator to the cooler and the other from the cooler to the transmission.

Sometimes they give you a smaller diameter hose then the size you need and you'll have a really hard time sliding the hoses on the hard lines, I don't know what size hose you need for the transmission though.

right now I'm running 2 B&M coolers without the stock cooler... but one of the coolers is fan assisted, since I leave my radiator fan always running.

I'm not sayin go out and buy one... but if you're willing to lay down $50 bucks for a cooler then go for it, just cause you get some free trick shift to go with it.
