change, as in change, run, change? or just change once? if you change
once, you arent getting all the old stuff out of the torque converter.

try changing it out with stuff (honda ATF) from the honda dealer. for
some weird reason, dexron, etc seem to cause rough/abrupt shifting.

if you notice a change for the better, change it AGAIN with MORE of it
in about a week. goal is to try to get as much of the old stuff out as
possible. clear the codes, see if they come back.

but at close to 200k miles on the original tranny, i dont know how much
longer itll last.


cant help ya with the codes, but hopefully the honda fluid will clear a
few of the problems up, if not all.
