hey guys...i was about to get a 2004 RSX..actually have a blue one on order. But anyway..after reading all this..im kinda scared..about the grinding prob..i mean..warranty is coo and all an d i dont power shift or shift like at 7000rpm all the time..but just the hassle and stuff. I still want the car..i have a few others cars that im choosing from..but...im leaning the most on this rsx. I was thinking..after reading all ur guys' opinions and experiences, have u guys tried changing the tranny fluid to something thinner or like synthetic manual tranny fluid and see if that would help? I had a g2 integra and i used to grind but also the tranny has over 90k miles on it..but i changed from honda tranny fluid to (forgot what brand)...but i knew it was synthetic and felt a bit thinner and smoother than the honda tranny fluid..i wonder if that would do the same trick or help changing the tranny fluid...to something smoother..enlighten me please..thanks
