So, is it a computer programming type of thing? He claims the clutch packs didn't look bad at the end.
truth is, with the way that Honda designs their rather unorthodoxical A/T, the clutch friction disc will starts to slip with accelerated wear as time/mileage progresses, so even if there' still a bit of friction material left on the rings, chances are, it's already slipping in an obvious manner.
no, re-programming will not help in this case (IMHO). but a seriously beefed up transmission (with more friction discs in all 4 gear drums, better fluid flow into those areas (to cool/lubricate) shall prolong the life of the Ody 4spd A/T gearbox nicely.
My 2c's worth.
Q. (done 2 Honda A/T repacks so far...yeah, PITA)
