Installation & Conversion Notes

  • Fluid Service: For optimal longevity, flush the transmission with genuine Honda ATF-DW1 fluid upon installation. Using the correct fluid is critical to maintaining the shift quality and protecting the internal clutch packs.

  • TCU Calibration: In some instances, after installing a replacement transmission, it is beneficial to perform a "Transmission Re-learn" procedure using an OBD-II diagnostic tool to clear old shift-point data and adapt the TCU to the new unit.

  • Mounting Points: Verify that your existing transmission mounts are in good condition before installing the new unit, as worn mounts can cause excessive vibration and potential stress on the new transmission casing.

  • Safety First: Transmission replacement is a major component swap. Always support the engine block independently before disconnecting the transmission and ensure the vehicle is stable on a professional-grade lift or jack stands.
