i want to take my car to a mechanic for some service (oil change, etc.). that might include changing the transmission oil - the car is a 5-speed manual transmission 1994 Accord EX. i haven't changed the transmission oil since i bought the car in June 2005, and i don't think the previous owner did it as well (he never mentioned anything like that, and i don't see anything like that in the maintenance records he gave me when i bought the car)...so the car is 12 years old, has 88k miles on it, and probably never had its transmission oil changed (as far as being owned by me and the previous guy; don't know about the first owner though).
do you think i need to change the transmission oil? and if so, what kind of oil do i need to use? the manual say the same type of oil being used for the engine is okay, however honda has specific manual transmission fluids... also, it's just drain-and-refill or it needs to be flushed? (i guess it's just drain-and-refill, since i've heard that flushing the oil out might cause bad things happen to the transmission because it brings up all the dirt already in the fluid)
