Dual Pump Fluid is for the Rear Differential of the CR-V and the Element
and the HR-V. You need Honda Z1 ATF.

Not sure why you used Dexron (I'd be curious to see a Honda factory
manual that says you can use Dexron for anything other than TEMPORARY
service).

You'll find a big difference when you drain-n-fill your '88 twice, or
more, with Honda Z1. It's the correct fluid for the job. It might even
fix your problems, but I expect you've reamed out the friction surfaces
because Dexron doesn't have the friction modifiers that a Honda tranny
needs.
