Bone, is that a shot of that RSX tranny you've posted before?

I know you've never been a fan of the Red Line gear oils but I've used
them with great results in a '90 Integra and my '95 Civic Coupe.
Combined, those two cars racked up 220,000 miles with me as a driver
and another 100,000+ with others at the wheel. Great shifting, no
problems.

If you're right about the MTL eating a plastic seal, that's pretty sad
for Honda. They should know better than to put such a finicky seal in
their tranny when so many people use the Red Line synchromesh fluids.
They've been around for well over a decade.

But if I had an RSX, I'd rather be safe than sorry and use the
not-particularly-impressive Honda MTF. Oh well.
