The moral of the story is, check the fluid, drain it, check for metal, then refill it with something a lil heavier, say 20W50 motor oil, since some tranny's take motor oil, or some manuals take ATF, and some take gear oil... I wouldn't use gear oil in a honda... it's too thick... and they are more precisely put together than the older ones were... basically figure out what yours takes, then put something just a lil bit heavier in it.. if that don't stop it, go one step heavier, and if that don't stop it, it just ain't gonna happen...
Good luck with it though, and he's right, it will last forever with the grind, but it's just a lil annoying.

so your saying that you put a shifter that was 70% shorter than stock? um...wtf?
let's do some round numbers.
so if the shifter stock was 10 inches long and yours is 70% shorter than that means your shifter is 3 inches long.
and someone explain to me how making your shifter an inch or two shorter is going to cause your engine and tranny don't got time to spin down? that makes no sense.
and putting heavier oil in huh? wow, why don't you just go get some lucas and pour it into your tranny. it will work, however, it comes out the bottle slow as shit. that's no joke.
and the term sts is used for the turbo system. who makes the short throw shifter into an acronym? but you should look up the sts. it's a really cool system, completely eliminates the muffler.
