Well the problem has started to return -- so if the fluid is magic it was used quickly.
I guess there is an inline filter in the line to the cooler. I was told the filter was internal to the transmission and not replacable without disassembly. https://www.hondapartsnow.com/genuine/honda~filter~25430-plr-003.html When I start the car I hear a whine like the transmission pump is starved for fluid. That goes away after warm up. But the level is at the max mark on the dipstick. So maybe the filter is so dirty that not enough is circulating when cold and pressure is too low for good gear changes. Anyway it should be one last cheap thing to try. Allan Allan Streib <astr...@indiana.edu> writes: > Didn't end up driving it yesterday.
