Well, after a while of putting it off, I finally have some spare cash to change out the fluid.
According to some local shop's I've been calling, some of them do full flushes w/o cleaning the pan or changing the filter, some wouldn't even recommend a flush at all but instead cleaning the pan, new filter and new fluid, letting it run, then doing it again. What would be the best way to make sure my car is safe? Should I go, new filter new fluid and clean pan? Or should I go flush and hope that any gunk just goes away? All the prices seem to be around the same ($110 - $150~) so I'm just looking for the best option for my car. Any thoughts? -------------------- Brand new 6gc owner! (sort of 2011)

there was another thread where people were praising synchromesh as it got rid of their shifting problems and made shifts feel a lot smoother. i'm using synchromesh btw.

QUOTE (azian_advanced @ Sep 2, 2011 - 7:44 AM)  there was another thread where people were praising synchromesh as it got rid of their shifting problems and made shifts feel a lot smoother. i'm using synchromesh btw. thanx azain.. but thats for MT right? yeah ive had alot of honda friends of mine LOVE that syncromesh (by redline right) but i was refering to an AT, specificly the A245E (out of the ST).. i have done some digging around, and will be giving Royal Purple's Max ATF a try. which i just found for just under $10.00 a quart (need 8) and thats alot cheaper than advanced ($13.00 on special $14.00 regular price) depending on what the shipping is from APtuning (hope its not much) could still make a big diffrence in total cost.. the royal purple stuff has never failed me yet and you can actualy tell when its in your car, all of there products are on the pricey side but IMO (thus far) you get what you pay for. this will be my first try at the Max ATF so i hope the results are as good as the oil. i will be turboing that car asap, and i know OOBE has said that he never had issues with his auto.. but i would still like to be on the safe side.. i figure a top notch fluid, and a good trans cooler (w/ a t-stat fan for added securety) should last me MANY miles of harder abuse on the trans from running auto-x and later on down the road with a turbo.. as soon as i can i will post results and total cost.. may be a few weeks though.
