Slick50 is a teflon additive that you have to shake before you pour it into your engine. If you have to shake the suspension to mix it up before pouring it in, guess what happens when it sits in your engine? It settles and clogs up passage ways. Slick50 has also been sued for false advertisement, and unsubstantiated claims. They lost the case, and paid huge fines. Its a complete waste of money, and it doesnt work.

Honda Accord A/T's shift a little harsh, but routine fluid changes keep them as smooth as they are going to get. Stick with Honda ATF especially on the newer years.

jschmid, I am not sure if this is what your trying to say, but

When parking
1. Apply foot brake.
2. Put car in neutral (from drive)
3. Apply hand brake
4. Remove foot from foot brake
Car should roll forward or backward depending on grade
5. Apply foot brake
6. Put car into Park.

This helps reduce the clunk when you start the care next time and go from Park to D4. I think I learned this from this board a long time ago when I went by another name. Can't remember that name right now either... LOL

Yeah, I should have said "park" not "gear". Sorry.

That's pretty much what I meant, basically saying don't put it in park, let it go forward or back, and then apply the ebrake. But to do ebrake first.

Thanks.
