Transmission Fluid, to change or not to change ?

[cwdc5]

transmission fluid change helped my DC5S with the 3rd gear wall. Good luck

Whats the 4rd gear wall ?

when shifting into 3rd it doesnt completely slide in and it feels like you're hitting a "wall". If you let the clutch out when its hitting the wall it grinds the gear because its not completely in gear, doesnt happen all the time but if it does u have to reclutch and try again

Happens to me on occasion. Fluod change helps.

had my gearbox oil changed at top one, it's sometimes hard to get into 1st and 2nd when cold now....

no idea what was in it before but it was beautiful in all gears.

Wait for it to break in and go through a few more heat cycles :P

never knew that applied to oil...

so i should thrash it a bit to heat it up?

ask them if they used Honda MTF?

Sorry about the comment - no it does not apply to MTF or oil, but I have found that while shifting will immediately improve with a flush, it will slowly get better.

If Honda MTF06 is no good for you - see if you can flush it out with the Redline stuff everyone raves on about.
