I have already posted in several threads that I have a noise in my transmission that is extremely annoying. I have already changed the fluid once using Honda DW-1 fluid. I recently got the car and according to carfax the tranny fluid has been changed several times at Acura dealers before I got the car with 106k miles on it.
Now I doubt changing the fluid is going to have any effect on the noise. My best guess is the noise is the gears themselves. The final drive gear is my assumption. Sometimes gears can wear in an odd way causing a noise like the one I have. No fluid or additive will change that. With that said I could be wrong and the noise could be something else. So I am going to do another drain and fill at my next oil change.
Should I use:
1. Honda DW-1
2. Honda Z1 - there is still some available online
3. Redline or another aftermarket fluid
