yeah ill show ya on friday... is your car still under warranty?

dont know whether its placebo effect, but 1st gear now seems easier to get into... used to be a bit of a pain when moving...

Nah, it's not a placebo effect.

The new MTF 06 is good.

YAY! lol yeah i think my 3year/80,000km old trans fluid had finished its life... Glad i changed it now instead of waiting for 120,000km or another 3years!

im gonna start doing the same... its not expensive, and it gives me something to do on my days off

I change mine every 15000kms...

MTF 06 really does makes a difference.. Try it... Nothing to do with the Butt-tester LOL!

I assume my May 06 plated Euro would have the good 06 MTF that you're all talking about as my gearshift is quite smooth.

What do you guys rekon about introducing tuflon ect additives into the manual tranny?

Would it make any difference?

**Suntzu** · 18-09-2007 06:53 PM

I have the Nulon G70 manual gearbox diff treatment but I havent put it in. Im waiting for the dealer to look at my box under warranty due whine and stiff shift.I'll also put in new MTF and run it for a while.

See what happens. I may never add it. I cant see it doing any harm regardless of what the paranoid ones say. i used it in my Nissan and it was brilliant.

No, no and no. DO NOT use additives in MTF. When you pour out Honda MTF and compare it to other brands of MTF, you'll see the difference (Honda's is as thin as engine oil) and there is a reason for that because of the use of brass synchros.

Honda's MTF used to lag behind Redline's in terms of shift smoothness, but the new MTF06 lets Honda catch up a bit. BTW, Redline's thinnest MTF is still 1 level thicker than Honda's MTF.

The Redline MTF is good.

Pity they don't have MTF that is compatible with the Euro.

sorry for the epic revive.

im trying to do my mtf change - whereabouts exactly can i find the filler plug?

going through the passengers side wheelarch, i think i've found the drain plug (its the one with the square drive bolt?) which is on the side of the tranny facing the wheel arch.

where's the filler plug with respect to the drain plug? theres like 20 bolts on the damn thing. if theres any pics or diagrams please! that'd be helpful.

thanks

It's a big-ish bolt above the drain bolt.I can't remember exactly, but I think it was a 17mm normal hex bolt.
