Same stuff you look out for with any other Honda.

Welcome fellow Canadian and congratulations on the purchase. Not really anything special on the SH, if you are not sure last time your major fluids were changed you could do that as well.

Congrats on your Lude

. Regarding your question, one maintenance item unique to the SH is the ATTS fluid. I got my SH with 130k and I doubt it had ever been changed - I'd think about changing that. I could name lots of stuff I changed when I first got mine, but it's all standard maintenance that should be done over time from air/fuel filters to PCV valve & grommet. It sounds like you're off to a good start though.

congratulations!

i remember when i just got my prelude. i was in a dream. i could not accept the fact the i had one in my posession. i was ecstatic. until i got home and over the next few weeks the realization slowly sunk in that i should have kept looking for a better prelude.

lviii has already mentioned that you have to change your atts fluid. the atts unit is filled with automatic transmission fluid that needs to be replaced every 30k miles. its exactly 1 qt. to do a drain and fill. use only honda atf

Well I have been looking for one for a very long time. I have look at many that were abused and people wanted to much money for them. I got online and started looking and a fresh posting. I was out there the next morning.

First year BB6 type SH Black, Canadian with no rust, Seat Heaters, and Heated Mirros, no wrecks i mean clean the price i paid i stole the car. Like I said I did most seals and all belts guess all I have to do now is ATTS fluid.

I usually do my ATTS fluid and transmission fluid at the same time as I think their change intervals are about the same. Plus while you are under there getting one done you might as well do the other (if it needs it) and it is easier to keep track of it that way.

ok had a strange thing happen to me today upon driving home from work got on the interstate and punched it going from second to third noticed the throttle was stuck open

turned car off then restarted and all was fine had a trottle body service done about 4 days ago any ideas

Was your gas pedal getting hung up on your floor mat? That use to happen to me in my civic.

BB6typeSH · 03-17-2010, 06:43 AM

its possible did notice pedal did not come back up. I will check floor mat and pull cai off and clean throttle and the out side lever for throttle just to be on the safe side. Worked for toyota should have check the mat lol
