Honda MTF:thumbup:

If you read you manual, it says use Honda MTF, only use motor oil if Honda MTF is not available. I can tell you from experience and that is that motor oil will make your trans. shift like crap. I have a 94gsr and did the transmssion change first with 5w-30, shifted HORRIBLE, was not smooth, and felt like crap. I then did it again with 10w-30, it was better but you could still feel it not being smooth.

So I finally did it with Honda MTF and it shifted excellent, very smooth. I paid $4 a qt. for the Honda MTF, but I have seen people pay up to $8. I would call around, the Honda and Acura dealer carry the same Honda MTF.
