I can link you if you really want to read about it. The tranny failures in the 2G and early 3G Auto TL is related to the amount of FM (Friction Modifer) in the DW-1 fluid. Honda has been trying to keep it quiet as they no longer support that fluid and released Z1 as its replacement. Im also very anal about my cars, and doing this as preventive maintenance.
