I'm in Melb and bought it from Hondwreck. The dealers didn't have them in stock for another 2 weeks or so but they now have them. The bottles says "Honda MTF 06" and they are made in Australia. The old bottle said "Honda MTF Plus" and those were made in USA. Go for the 06, that's the good one. The fluid is also grey in colour instead of the old gold colour.
It's also good to bleed your clutch fluid a little.
when the car needs warming up of the transmission oil to slide into gears properly, thats when i should change transmission oil correct? (is it a normal symptom?)
Sounds like it could be worn syncros to me. You could always try new transmission oil to bandaid the problem for a while. Not sure if reverse has syncros tho.
Xntrik: this is a common problem in DC2, even i have this problem, 1st and reverse are a bitch.
My 1st gear hardly slot in properly, if im at the lights at the front of everyone, i leave my car on 1st gear and jet off when its green, i never leave it on nuetral in this position.
Bleeding the clutch means getting the air out of the system. You do this for brakes, transmission and power steering. When replacing new fluid you must bleed in the clutch/brakes/power steering, cause they won't work properly where the is air bubbles are.
Anyways replacing new transmission fluid wont eliminate it, you just gotta learn the tricks to avoid it...
He said it happens only when the transmission fluid is still cold though. I think his fluid would be full of fine brass particles by now, making it too viscous when cold but alright when warmed up.
For the 3 yrs i had my DC2, it still has this problem. I replaced the master clutch cylinder earlier this year too. Still same old problem, 1st gear wont go in properly. I have to release the clutch alittle, add abit of gas, then 1st will go in.
