That said I own a 2000 Accord EX V6 with a over 103K miles. I bought this car new, drove it for a few hundred miles to break it in properly and gave it to my Dad as a gift. He owned it until his passing in 2011 when it had only 32k miles and inherited it.
By the time I traveled to LA to bring it home in 2013 it sat in the garage for almost 2 years little driven with the exception of my sister who drive it too work occasionally.
One of the first things I noticed after I arrived to retrieve it was how poorly the transmission would shift. It felt terrible. Each shift felt like there was mud instead of transmission fluid inside it. Shifts were more akin to slipping than shifting.
I picked up a case of Honda transmission fluid from the local dealer and several drain plug crush washers and drained what I believed was fluid. Instead some thick gelatinous goo came dribbling out, the smell was awful.
After refilling it with new fluid I drove the car and immediately felt a major improvement. I continued to drive the car for closer to 100 miles before repeating the process not once it twice but 3 times. After each interval the shift quality improved until by the 3rd flush it was just about normal.
When I reached home about 400 miles later and repeated to flush it once more and added the
Hayden Automotive 697 Transmission Oil Cooler. Installation was pretty straightforward but necessitated some DIY skills. Removing the radiator simplified the install greatly. Once I determined the best location for the cooler to be installed was in front of the radiator on the driver's side it was just a matter of splicing in between the transmission cooler and transmission coolant lines. Rubber tubing, zip ties and a few hours of time were all that's needed. I could see why non- DIYers would choose to have Mechanic perform this if they feel it's beyond their comfort level.
When the install was completed I choose to spray the cooler with high temp flat black paint in order for it to appear less obvious through the bumper. Very simple to find (try BBQ spray paint) only necessary if aesthetics matter to you.
Finally one more refill of transmission fluid and everything was complete. It's been about 5 years since I installed the cooler and despite frequent stop and go traffic during Phoenix long blistering summers I haven't encountered any more issues!
My best advice to anyone owning a Honda or Acura with this type transmission who maybe experiencing some slipping or similar problems is get it inspected and if necessary rebuilt before putting this cooler in. It won't fix a broken transmission. But it will prolong the life of a properly maintained and working unit.
Last piece of advice if you do perform the installation and everything is working well remember these transmissions need some extra TLC if you're in it for the long haul. I HIGHLY recommend regardless of where you live, to ignore the owner's manual recommendation for transmission fluid changes.
I say go beyond the "severe condition maintenance" schedule of 24 months and change the fluid at least every 12 months preferably with Honda Genuine ATF DW-1. It's a small premium to pay compared to the cost of transmission repairs or worse!
I know there's other brands of fluid available but I still maintain Honda ATF is the better quality...
