we inspect the second gear through the speed sensor hole, if its discolored
because of heat according to a table of pictures, the tranny will get
replaced. if the second gear shows no signs of damage or discoloration, we
install an oil jet kit on ALL trannys that don't require replacement. the
same recall first came out on the odysseys. and its not the same tranny as
the odyssey.
