Hi All, I replaced my transmission fluid with Amsoil for it’s second change. The first change at 30k was done with Honda fluid. The stock fluid does need to be changed out every 30k. You can tell certain gears seem to be less smooth and more notchy. That being said, I felt my transmission had pretty great shifting once broken in. My main interest for switching was increased protection and longevity of the fluid. I was also curious if it would feel different. I will say that yes it makes each arrival in gear smoother. However, my car feels noticeably more sluggish in terms of throttle response and engine response. It’s as if the gears are being dragged through molasses and there is noticeably more resistance in the drivetrain. I had just changed to lighter wheels prior to this and a portion of the gain I made in acceleration response is now gone. Has anyone else noticed this?
