Most Hondas are front wheel drive. The gear shifter doesn't go straight into the gearbox like it does in a RWD car so a lot of that mechanical feel is absorbed by the linkage.

 

U guys don't appreciate the f1 experience Infiniti provided?

 

F1 circa 1988? That's when paddle shifters started taking over for pure manual gearboxes. Lol.

 

Actually, in his case, a lot of mechanics would not want to change out the fluid. Reason being that something might actually be messed up but it's holding on just fine still. Draining the fluid will move things around and something can fall apart.

It's like old tires which have not seen an alignment track for a long time - to prolong the life of those tires, you are better off leaving them alone.

I'm not saying it's necessarily the best thing to do, it just depends on how much money you want to spend.

 

I would avoid anything Redline for the G. This car seems to like Motul a lot though.

 

This theory doesn't make any sense at all for a MT. I think you're referring to flushing an AT that has never had service done on it since it can dislodge debris which then plugs up fluid passageways. In a MT the oil basically just sits in the bottom of the transmission housing and the gears dip into it as they spin. It's not pumped up anywhere like in an AT so there are no oil passages to be blocked by dislodged debris or buildup and most certainly nothing mechanical getting moved by the fluid change in an MT.

 

I don't understand how people can still be using the terms flush n drain n fill interchangeably.

 

Nobody did that here. The only mention of a flush anywhere here aside from me mentioning it with an AT (where a flush is a legit different service from a fluid change), and the other guy mentioning flushing his clutch fluid which is also a legit thing.

 

Dofu is referring to a flush I believe. My understanding is other guy talking bout drain n fill
