i just got done changing my tranny fluid, i followed the diy thread only diffrence is i choose to go with redline mt-90 mtf instead of honda oem. i took it for a test drive it is smoother between gears but goin into gears it still feels clunky or notchy, my s is a 00 with 65,000, any ideas.

 

clutch fluid? do you let it warm up nicely before being judgemental?

 

Meet up with some other s2k owners and see if their transmissions feel any better. The s2k tranny can feel clunky & notchy to folks used to indirect linkage gear shifts common in FWD cars.

 

it's different from car to car, miata people loves the Redline mtf, which i use in my miata with very good result.

after using the redline in my s, i knew it wasn't right granted the SAE weight is very similar.

try the OEM version2 mtf or GMSMFM

 

I've always noticed that with a fresh fluid change, the tranny was a bit notchy. It seems to smooth out after a couple hundred miles. Then starts to get notchy again after 8k miles or so. Just from my experience.

 

also, change your clutch fluid mine seems to go bad really fast

 

Did you try clutch TSB 02-046? After cleaning/lubing the mecha, it feels much smoother.
