but because you said something, I will post a thread in the next few days.

A very good idea IMO. Changing the transmission fluid is just as important as the engine oil. A LOT of people over look that.

I'd change the O2 sensor and make sure the CV joints look good.

CV joints checked out fine, dont know about the 02 so I'll probably change it out to. Thanks.

If your not getting any O2 sensor codes, then leave them. Why change something that isn't broke? O2 sensors can be expensive, depending on which one you buy.

You wouldn't think so, but it does. The transmission more moving parts then the engine and is equally important. With any ATF fluid application, you make a good point. ATF is designed to last much longer then standard oils. But anything that takes normal gear oil or Honda MTF, it is just as important to change as your motor oil.
