It reminds me of casting metal fatigue.

i used to think they were reliable as well. I use honda oem atf, coolant, and power steering fluid. I honestly don't know if it will make it to 120000 miles. I even change the at fluid once a year like the Honda mechanic suggested after the new trans was installed. Honda customer service stated...

It is about to eat another one. I don't think the auto trans can handle the V-6 torque.

It is good to be a member of this informative forum. For the past several years I have been searching this forum. I like the years of research that has been done on engine oil and engine filters. I had no idea the site has grown like it has until today when I became a member. BTW, do you like...
