I will donate you some Motul Ian - seems to have cured it in several cases.

Use Honda MTF as designed by Honda for their own gearboxes

That would be the most sensible option wouldn't it!

Will one bottle be enough?

A few users of Redline MTL across the pond have found it to be notchier than OEM during the colder months.

I'm going to try Amsoil MTF on my next change because it's a direct replacement for the Honda MTF.

You need about 1.5litres.

I got some MTF III, latest stuff from Honda from avondale in coventry. They gave me 2 litres, I had to take two empty bottles though. Not cheap at

Me too.

Every one of the four S2000s I've had so far has been exactly the same. Doesn't cause me any particular concern. Once fully warm there's little or no problem anyway. I also find all gearchanges FAR slicker the higher the revs when changing
