I've never come across snake oil that works yet.

Have you swapped all the fluid in you auto box, dropping the fluid 3 seperate times?

Have you done the normal thing of changing the tranny fluid with Honda fluid?

Yeah ive changed fluid but it still hesitates from 2nd to 3rd for about 2secs an it revs high while its doing it so thought maybe seals or something going

No nothing about it, but surely anything has to be worth a try if it saves having to swap the box? What more harm can it do?

If you've tried all the obvious stuff, and your only option now is to ditch the transmission, then yes - go for an additive. But before you do, make sure you've given your new Honda fluid a good long time to work its way in...

I've had excellent results with Prolong (now called Synionic, I think) gearbox treatment. It has rescued some really rough Rover and Jaguar autoboxes in the past, for me. But generally I'd use any additive as a last resort, just in case it makes it worse...

Thanks its beginging to get annoying now as wen you have ur foot half way down an it changes u get chucked forward then back in ur seat im just not sure to let it bide for a while as it still drives every day or try this as a last resort
