Honda MTF is best for the tranny. You can get it online at H-A http://www.handa-accessories.com/ (fluid and crush washers...) or your local Honda Dealer - the plano dealership managed to give me the wrong size crush washer for the drain

I can send you a link to the how to on s2kca if you want it.

+1 for Honda MTF. When I had my RSX, it was the only fluid allowed by the dealership, any other would void the transmission warranty (they would actually send a sample into a testing center for analysis). I didn't have issues with it in my RSX (which I tracked), and I changed the fluid in my S2k with it a couple weeks after I bought the car.

Just make sure you get the Green Label Honda MTF. It is the new reformulated version; well, it was new (and hard to find) last year, but some dealerships might still have the old stuff in stock.

I would just buy it at a local dealership, shipping will negate the savings, but then, I've always had good luck with getting fluids/washers/filters at list instead of retail.

A lot of people recommended GM Syncromesh and after trying it myself, I went back to Honda MTF as well. Nothing beats it.
