Try a tranny flash at an auto shop, not ATF change by yourself cuz that's incomplete. If no results within a month, u might be up for a tranny swap..
Honda ATF would be nice but hey, going to Honda = $$$

Actually, typical dexron3-mercon fluid will make the shifts a little firmer which I prefer for mine. And I can tell you that a tranny fluid flush and change will most likely be a waste of money. your trans needs to be rebuilt or replaced I am 99% certain without looking at it. By the way I am an apprentice transmission builder at a local shop. Sorry man, I know how you feel. I just shelled out $700 U.S. for mine.
