Hey guys,

I have a 98 accord v6 and its time for a tranny oil change. I was wondering the car has 190k on it with its original tranny (knock on wood) and its kinda of hard shifting now on the gears 2nd and into 3rd. But this has been going on since about 125k, since then I have changed the oil at 130k and at 160k with Honda ATF oil. Is there another kind of oil that might be better off to use?

Also i heard that the shift sensor or something are bad on these trannies. Has anyone ever changed one or are they in the tranny it self?

Thanks for your input guys much appreciated.

Only Honda ATF on a Honda Auto Transmission. I think if the shift sensors were bad, the sensors would set off a engine check light.
