Installation & Maintenance Notes

• Fluid Service (Critical): Upon installation, it is mandatory to flush the system and refill with genuine Honda ATF-DW1 (or equivalent high-spec synthetic ATF). Proper fluid level and quality are essential for the longevity of the transmission's internal clutch packs.

• Auxiliary Cooling: To maximize the lifespan of this replacement unit, we strongly recommend installing an auxiliary transmission fluid cooler. Reducing operating temperatures is the most effective way to prevent premature solenoid and clutch failure.

• Diagnostic Reset: If your vehicle was displaying transmission error codes or a blinking "D" light prior to the swap, be sure to clear your TCM (Transmission Control Module) memory with an OBD-II scanner after installation to ensure the system adapts to the new unit’s sensor data.

• Safety First: Transmission replacement requires the front subframe to be lowered or engine support/removal. Always perform this installation on a professional lift using appropriate safety stands and hardware.
