For those who didn't see the previous posts:
Basically my shifter was getting chunky, particularly in cold weather it was performing bad. My car has about 15,000 miles now. I got the transmission fluid replaced and I switched back to the stock shifter. I noticed a positive change within a day or two and at some point the transmission felt like brand new again - I was completely giddy.
Well, now that has passed and it is rapidly getting to be the same as it was before. Especially on the first few shifts of the day, no matter how slow I move the shifter, I get a "kerchunk" when it goes into gear and I can feel multiple notches instead of one polite "click". Even when the car is warmed up the shifts are not completely satisfying - I rarely get the one smooth "click" I was feeling before. Downshifting to 2nd just plain sucks sometimes - I have to apply pressure once or twice before it moves into gear. Getting the car into 1st from a complete stop is also harder than it was just days ago. I have a feeling that when winter comes it will get very bad (again), and hopefully I can convince honda to do something serious to fix it.
