At 48Kmi ATF drained and refilled. Same at 90Kmi. Both times no flush,
but genuine Honda used.
Now tranny has 105Kmi. Never had any problem. I suspect that when my son
was installing new battery
he must have hit the dipstick and bent it. For some reason it was fine
for a week and then was sucked
into a gear.
