Project: TL Type S

[WRXtranceformed]

I picked up three auto transmission pressure sensor switches and corresponding gaskets to go ahead and swap them out at my next oil change. One of the Acura forum guys has a built GNX that he drag races, his transmission builder took apart his DD A/T TL and found that the transmission is actually fairly well built and could handle a lot of power. What has been failing for a lot of people (mostly 04-06, 07+ was fixed) was the pressure sensor switches were going bad and frying ppls transmissions. My car has been a little jerky / sloppy on gear changes lately in auto mode so it's just a cheap bit of insurance to keep my transmission in good shape.

I still plan on doing some oem mud flaps and chopping out the mid-muffler, potentially a-spec kit if I have some more cash burning a hole in my pocket.

The parts are number 12, 13 and 17 in the pics.


Any of you guys with autotragic Hondas may want to look into replacing these. The guy's builder said he would recommend replacing them every 60k miles or so for peace of mind. I also spoke with a service tech / friend that I trust at a local Honda dealership and he said they replace these very frequently on Accords and CRVs.
