Change transmission fluid. Use Honda manual transmission fluid.

I agree with changing your fluid, but don't use Honda fluid. Purchase this, it's what majority of us switch too

I tend to disagree with Mr. Francesco. The Honda MTF is actually very good and specially-formulated for this car.

I also would disagree that a majority of us use that Syncromesh, though I haven't heard bad things about it.

No you can't. Some GM dealerships sell it, but its just easier to buy it online.

thanks guys.. and also, i hear a lot of noise inside the car.... i think its coming from under the shift boot not sure, but it sounds like this.. its a 15 min video so i broke it down so you dont have to listen to the whole thing...

as i rev up i think its gets louder...

0-2:50 revving up to 5k
2:50 - 3:09 revving up to 9k
14:30 car parked and revving up
15:20 car parked and listening from engine bay revving up
(that tick sound is the virbation from my phone in the cup holder)

it sounds like a chatter sound... anyone know what this could be?? is it normal? my friend has a s2k and he just says its just how it is... its loud lol...
