Thumbs up Honda ATF is really good.

I finally gave some of the Honda ATF a chance in my T56. Right away I could tell a difference. The shifts are WAY smoother and seem quicker.

Not bad for $3.30 a quart.

I also threw in that Honda ATF-Z1 a couple days ago. It's really good stuff. Right when I made my first shift to second down my street my only words were "holy ****."

Mine took just over 3.5 quarts and AFAIK the only place to get it is the Honda dealer.

it's non-synthetic ATF. and isn't dexron GM specific??? You don't need it but I'm sure somebody is getting paid to have a little dexron II sticker on the tranny. My tranny has never shifted better than this honda ATF and I was using dexron GM Syncromesh.

I think you guys are just giving in to your desire to be ricers! Thanks for posting, it's about time for me to change the fluid in mine and I may give it a shot. Ford injectors, Honda fluid, I wonder if I can get something Mopar on this thing.
