A/T Oil Jet Kit Installation
1. 3.2CL and 3.2TL models: Detach the engine harness clips from the ATF oil line.
2. 3.2CL and 3.2TL models: Clean the area around the ATF filler bolt, the countershaft speed sensor, and the ATF filter lines. Go to step 11.
3. * '04 TL models: Remove the left side and left rear engine compartment covers.*
4. '04 TL models: Unbolt the air cleaner lid, detach the battery cable clips from the lid, then remove the air cleaner lid, the intake air duct, and the air cleaner.
5. '04 TL models: Remove the two 10 mm bolts from the under-hood fuse/relay box.
6. '04 TL models: Detach the engine harness clip from the fuse/relay box, and pull the box forward.
7. '04 TL models: Clean the top of the A/T around the ATF filler bolt, the countershaft speed sensor, and the ATF lines.
8. '04 TL models: Remove the A/T ground strap.
9. '04 TL models: Detach the wire harness from the ATF filter line bracket.
10. '04 TL models: Remove the metal vacuum lines from the two clips on the A/T cooler hose assembly.
11. Disconnect the ATF hose from the ATF filter line, and discard the hose clamp.
12. Remove the ATF filter line bracket bolt(s), then remove and discard the ATF filter line.
13. Assemble the A/T Oil Jet Kit outside the vehicle, but do not attach the oil jet onto the oil jet hose yet.
NOTE:
^ Each hose clamp has a retainer to hold it in its spread position. To install a hose clamp, slide it into position (7 mm from the end of the hose), and use pliers to pull off the retainer.
^ Use clean ATF to assemble all metal-to-rubber lines and hoses. Do not use grease or any other lubricants.
^ Make sure you slide the oil jet hose onto the T-fitting on the oil jet line.
14. Install the oil jet line onto the ATF hose with a new hose clamp.
^ Use clean ATF to lubricate the oil jet 0-ring and the ATF filter 0-ring before installation.
^ Make sure there are no kinks in the oil jet hose when you install it onto the A/T.
15. Install the other end of the oil jet line onto the ATF filter. For 3.2CL and 3.2TL models, torque the filter line bracket bolts to 12 Nm (8.7 lb-ft); for '04 TL models, torque the filter line bolt to 28 Nm (21 lb-ft).
16. Remove the harness bracket bolt.
17. If not already done, remove and discard the ATF filler bolt.
18. Install the ATF filler plug adapter with a new sealing washer. Torque the adapter to 44 Nm (33 lb-ft).
19. Insert the oil jet into the filler plug adapter, making sure the oil jet is flush. Position the oil jet bracket over the harness bracket bolt hole. Reinstall the harness bracket bolt. Torque the bolt to 27 Nm (20 lb-ft).
20. Check if the oil jet has a white mark 34 mm from the end of the pipe. If it does not have this mark measure 34 mm from the end of the pipe, and use a paint pen or marker to mark the spot.
21. Slide the new hose clamp onto the oil jet hose, and then slide the hose onto the oil jet tube up to the mark on the tube. Make sure the hose is not kinked. Position the clamp 7 mm from the end of the hose, and release the clamp retainer.
22. Attach the oil jet line bracket. Torque the bolt to 12 Nm (8.7 lb-ft).
23. Attach the wire harness to the oil jet line bracket.
24. Clean up any residual ATF that spilled when you installed the kit.
25. Start the engine. Move the shift lever to D, and then to R. Move the shift lever to D and then to P. Raise the engine speed to 1,500 rpm, keep it there for several minutes, then turn off the engine.
26. Check for leaks where you installed the kit. If you find any leaks, make sure the ATF filler plug adapter, the oil jet, and all hose clamps are correctly installed.
27. Check the ATF level, and add ATF if needed.
28. When topping off or refilling ATF on vehicles that have an A/T Oil Jet Kit, do this:
^ Remove the oil jet hose. Avoid kinking or pulling on the hose.
^ Remove the oil jet.
^ Add the ATF through the ATF filler plug.
^ Replace the oil jet 0-ring, P/N 91301-P7W-003. Use clean ATF to lubricate the 0-ring.
^ Install the oil jet. Torque the bracket bolt to 27 N.m (20 lb-ft).
^ Slide the oil jet hose onto the oil jet tube up to the 34 mm mark, and then install the clamp 7 mm from the end of the hose.
29. * Reinstall all removed parts, then go to COMPLETION PROCEDURE. *
* A/T REPLACEMENT.
Follow the IN-WARRANTY EXCHANGE steps in S/B 90-009, Automatic Transmission In-Warranty Exchange Program, to order a remanufactured A/T, replace the failed A/T, and return the failed A/T core.*
NOTE:
If you order a remanufactured A/T for a 3.2CL or 3.2TL, you may also get an updated PCM and may get a new fuel pressure regulator (shipped separately). Make sure you complete the repair by installing the updated PCM, the fuel pressure regulator (if sent), and the remanufactured A/T at the same time. New fuel pressure regulators have a black dot on top to help you identify them.
^ Remanufactured A/Ts do not need an A/T Oil Jet Kit; they have been updated internally.
^ When refilling the A/T, always use Honda ATF-Z1.
^ Make sure you do the idle learn procedure. For '04 TL models, make sure you check the front wheel alignment, and adjust it if needed.
^ During the road test, you do not need to check the shift points with the HDS.
^ After the road test, recheck the ATF level, add ATF if needed, and check for leaks.
* COMPLETION PROCEDURE
Center-punch a completion mark above the 12th character of the engine compartment VIN.
