So, just got back from the Honda service center. My friend works there as a tech and I made friends with the service advisor. Got my oil changed and had these switches installed, and he went ahead and swapped out my transmission fluid for free.
I was a little skeptical as I usually am on seat of the pants stuff like this, but because my car was shifting harder and sloppier lately I thought I'd go ahead and do it. Wow, this made a huge difference in the driveability. VERY noticeable. I stomped on it after the car was warmed up and I couldn't "feel" the car shift like I could before, it just jumped a gear and smoothly rose back through the RPMs again. No more jerkiness on partial throttle shifting either, just very composed I guess is the word I can think of.
Highly recommend this for anyone with high mileage A/T Hondas, night and day difference.
