Which Acuity parts needed to just remove lateral slop on shifter?

The OEM boot is indeed designed with some forward lean to it, that's probably why you're having issues with the odd gears. If you reverse it you'll have issues with the even gears.

It seems like the taper actually goes the wrong direction. There's plenty of slack in the even gears and no slack at all in the odd ones. I wonder if flipping it around will even it out.

Ordered a gallon of this last night:

I am happy with the performance of the OEM Honda fluid in cold weather. I've also been really happy with Redline MT-90 in cold weather (in my truck) so I'm going to give MTL a shot. If I don't like it, ACDelco Synchromesh FM will be next up.

I also got the Acuity bushings to do "while I'm in there."

I am running MTL and like it a lot. In the summer I plan to swap it out to MT85 (and go back to MTL next winter). Two flushes a year might be overkill, but at least the trans won't fail from under-maintenance

I mean it's not necessarily overkill if you're tracking it.

If you aren't tracking the car, I'd probably just run one weight all year long and extend that interval.
