Is there any truth to the old adage, "the grease that holds the engine together" ??
Upon asking him about servicing my manual transmission my mechanic basically told me "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." He said that if I had been servicing the transmission REGULARLY then it would be recommended, but if it is long overdue yet running fine then just leave it alone.
Is he crazy?
Should I put new Honda MTF in the tranny, and should I do anything BEYOND that (have it cleaned/serviced)
Or should I leave it alone? It's running fine.
By the way my car is a 1987 Honda Accord DX hatchback with 140,000 miles, and I bought it 2 years ago with only 119,000 miles on it -- so I'm not sure if the previous owner was doing REGULAR tranny servicings.
Thanks for the help!
