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!
