bAmBiNo10, if you have just purchased your Type-SH, I recomend you do not delay in having the ATTS system flushed and refilled. It is not unlike an automatic transmission with a - you guessed it - torque converter. I believe Honda recomends the system be flushed and refilled every 30k. Also, if you have a flat front tire, never put the spare on the drive wheels. That can cause the ATTS light to illuminate, and send the ATTS computer in to a frizzy. Transfer a wheel from the back and put the doughnut on the back.
