Hey guys, a good friend of mine drives a 2000 Honda Accord v6 with the infamous horrible a/t. Her and I went to this (supossedly "famous" around here) known transmission shop 2 hrs away and talked to the owner and techs there. They knew what we were wanting to talk about as soon as we showed up in her car. They said they know the problem well, and that they can remove, rebuild and re-install her a/t for $1000 flat...(she says the owner of the shop knows her dad well). So, she is thinking about having them rebuild her a/t but wanted to try and do as much as we can to help prolong her a/t untill she can afford to take her car to the shop. I have done a little research and read that Honda added a "2nd gear oil jet" where the drain plug on top of the trans is. I have searched but cant find where to buy said "oil jet kit". She wants me to drain and fill her atf 3x, add a decent sized atf cooler and do the oil jet mod. Now, I know how to do the atf drain and fill and know how to add an atf cooler, and most likely can add the oil jet kit, but cant really find out where I can purchase said oil jet kit, or any info on installing the oil jet kit yourself. Do any of you guys have any info on the "oil jet kit" Honda uses?
Also, which ATF would you guys suggest in her Accord after we add the oil jet kit, atf cooler and inline filter?
Honda atfz1 or dw1?
Redline?
Amsoil?
Something else?
This girl LOVES her v6 accord coupe and wants to keep it, especially after I installed her AEM cold air intake and audio set-up.
Please help me help my friend in need!
