[ol][*]Should I attempt to do the transmission change myself with the DIY section to help or have the dealer change it for me?[/ol]

Do it yourself, it is easy. Make sure you havea hose or something to fit into the fill hole. I picked up a funnel with a tube from walmart that works great.

Could always try Royal Purple, I heard that they do make Trans fluid. Just a thought....I've never used it, but a good friend of mine swears by it.

Honda's need Honda oem fluid, they are just picky as hell. If it was any other car I would go with royal purple but not on a Honda.
