              I used this to replace the oem Honda fluid in our Honday Odyssey after it began having shuddering problems when locking the torque converter in and out. Switching to a good synthetic ATF fluid was recommended on the forum [@]. We've put about 1,000 miles on the van since the flush and fill, including a trip up to the Smoky Mountains, and the shuddering appears to be gone so far.
