Never - bought the car used a week ago, don't know of service records.

Its going to my mechanic tomorrow morning. No, its not a certified honda shop blah blah blah but I trust him very much.

One thing thats interesting - I have read a number threads on this board that discuss changing the tranny fluid when things aren't right. My mechanic said that he was reluctant to change the tranny fluid, he said that it's unessisary 9 out of 10 times with manual trannys.

I have also read (here) that "flushing" a tranny can be major major bad? Something about stirring up spots dedicated for collecting debris? I am going to push to have the fluid replaced - but I am paranoid about flushing.

Thanks again for feedback.
