Where's The Critic?? I think I heard him spouting off that Honda/Acura 5AT's were to be written off and there was nothing to do about ...waste of money...blah..blah.
Time for him to take some medicine
(all in fun

He is against this fix.
To the poster above, I know they redesigned the lube circuit for better lube to second gear without the oil jet kit. I believe this started in '04 but I'm far from a Honda guru. These third generation TLs are starting to show the same third gear failures as the 2nd gen as the miles are put on them. So far, no 2nd gear failures that I know of. Mine was getting very sloppy for a while so much that I would lift off the gas to let it upshift and then get back on it. Now it's like new again.
thanks, do you know any case this is also affecting re-designed 5AT on J35/J37 (new MDX, Odyssey, Pilot, and RL). i also wonder shall i change sensor on my TSX.
That's another question people have been asking over there and no one has answered it yet. So far I've seen no complaints of trans problems with the new unit but it may be too young to know yet. If your TSX uses the same sensors it's not a bad idea though I wouldn't do it until you start noticing some shift quality issues.
(sorry for edit, quote wrong post on last one)
thanks, this is great info!! i spend some time on acura parts and found that TSX does not share these ATF pressure sensor with TL which is good news to me. look like Honda start using those part from 2003 (2004 model year)on v6 5AT model, i also found 2007-2009 MDX and the RL are sharing these same parts with 3G TL, so it's likely other J series are the same.
