I've been sitting in crappy Sydney traffic lately. 2 Weeks ago it took almost 2 hours to travel 20km. In this driving conditions I've notice with the tranny on Honda DW1 is that it would not respond as precisely and hunts and shifts are slightly harsher - you can feel the difference. This is with a tranny with 30k on the current DW1 oil change (I do a 3 x 3 dump and pump plus in line filter change every 30k). In flowing traffic the transmission shift like its suppose to be. Bumper to bumper traffic is killer on the trans fluid so I can only assume the DW1 is breaking down due to constant heat stress.
