Honda's official word on "flushing"

------------------------------------

The shop manual says you can just run it through the gears for a few
minutes, sitting still. If you drive it until next weekend you get more
magnetic particles (fuzz) on the recently cleaned magnet due to more
exposure. I like to get as much out as I can, partly as a diagnostic.

'Curly'

 

in my experience, /any/ ordinary dexron in the transmission messes up
the shift quality big time. avoid, avoid, avoid.

i recently changed the fluid on my 89 after about 50k of hard charging.
the magnet was so clean, you could still see bare metal. indicates
that lots of the metal fragmentation occurs in the early miles.
