I've never heard of these but have been reading about them over on V6accord.com It is basically a radiator hooked to your auto tranny to disapate heat. Neccessary?

I don't race or go WOT from light to light but i do drive 80 MPH or so on the highway and they claim tranny heat is the number one cause of failure.

Comments?

 

if you drive in a lot of stop and go traffic or work the tranny hard or just would like the tranny to last longer then add a cooler

 

someone please clue me in...i always forget what WOT stands for..please help a person with very few brain cells left. thanks

tappin' a little hard on the moonshine hunh?

 

I have a Hayden 401 on my car. It doesnt help performance much, but it is a preventative measure for longer tranny life. Yes, heat is the number one cause of auto tranny failure.

 

thanks man....nah not tonight

 

get it, the v6 auto tranny needs one...bad

 

that **** will void your warrenty. Keep it stock untill your warrenty expires. If the tranny is going to blow up, it will blow up before 15,000 miles.

 

i may get one as a precausionary measure but what brand and model should I get and will it void warrenty if the tranny does fail?

 

YES. YES. YES. Dude, hold off, trust me. Ive seen enough blown up odyssey/accord v6 autos come through to warrent me giving you this type of caution.

 

yes

 

really humm. i don't see how it could kill the tranny but i know how dealers and their warrenties go. Maybe i should wait till my 36K is up. Thats when the warrenty runs out right? or does powertrain go longer?

Anyhow are you a honda tech?

 

36K unless you have extended.

I work as a service advisor at a honda dealer.

 

thanks. no i didn't buy extended. I'm banking on Honda's reliability record thats why i got one **Fingers Crossed**

 

Youll be fine. Just dont do ANY aftermarket stuff while you are in warrenty, just in case.

 

I could never resist the temptation.

 

I can.

 

Brian, if you can resist VTEC, then I think you can resist modifications. I however, cannot.

 

I can resist a lot of things that society has labled "necessities" of our demographic.

 

So have I.

 

One other reason i bought an accord is so I won't mod it. I spent way to much money and headache modding my last car. Not to start a war here but most all mods i see for the accord are in poor taste and IMO engine upgrades are a joke. The I4 is horridly slow and the V6 being an auto is not much better. Its a family car not a dragster. 1/4 discussions make me laugh. So no temptation to mod here, the tranny cooler is just a preventative maintance item for me.

 

to each his own

 

and I don't think its the moonshine thats slowing him down... its the homegrown.

 

damn straight. the good ol greens.
