    8th gen as reliable as 6th?

    6th Gen. Whats this bracket/pipe?

    hi m8y from the looks of it, you may be to late for that :unsure: i would take all the caps off and flush it out with alcohol solution, but compressed air would be ok ;) Also it should be part of Honda dealer corrosion checks and I've made a few claims against Honda on behalf of customers...

    ATF Automatic Transmission Fluid Part Change

    Glad this proved useful :D I would highly recommend changing the external filter on your transmission as well, think its been mentioned on here before. Anyway the dark coloration and excess friction material is a sign of a over heating transmission and the filter could be restricting flow to the...
