Transmission Advice

[CzEcHy]

Alright, I've got hard shifting and what not in my transmission..

It has 231xxx miles on it..

What (minus replace), could/should I do?

I was told adding something may make it worse, any suggestions?

(And I just had my fluid checked and they told me it looked good)

when my auto started to do that , i added that motor up gear up stuff and it did improve shift quality somewhat, a 1000 miles later the trans blew up.
perfect excuse for a manual conversion

mine's been harsh shifting for the past 50,000 miles. No changes since it started.

Just drive until it blows up. Then swap in a 5-speed and forget you ever had transmission problems.

try to adjust the shifter linkage

Use honda fluid.

according to the manufacturer you should be using engine oil, but according to every oil company, you should be using around 75w80 oil as they sort of suggest for every car of that age.

Honda does make a transmission fluid but that only came out once they released the s2000, but that might be a bit of overkill.

Theres heaps of treatments on the market, you should try some, they cant really put your box in much more worse condition than it is.

Use honda fluid.

yes or use a synthetic additive to dexII
also over time as your car drifts out of tune... gradually the accuracy of the TV cable adjustment goes out thus affecting shift quality and points.
Try adjusting the TV cable just a tiny bit.

mine was doing the same thing in my lxi.So I swapped tranny and it still did it I adjusted tv cable a little bit an it helps but do it in small incrments an drive car to make sure cause it dont take but 1 turn to far 1 way or the other to make it not work properly.I have to readjust mine cause I got shifting a lil better but now there is no lockup.

^^^needs a hair more, also make sure it is all lubricated good and the cable housing under the hood is not attached to the other cables, any movement could disrupt the tv lever slightly.
Also check it is pulled up good and lubed at the gas pedal.
