what on earth are you worrying about? if honda transmissions were
failing due to excess wear product load, don't you think there'd be
fewer instances of automatic hondas with 300k or 400k miles on the
clock? the /modern/ hondas with reliability problems are due to
mechanical design issues, not lack of filtration.

same goes for honda fuel delivery - there are multiple filters between
the tank & the injector, not least of which is a fine mesh filter built
into the injector itself.

you're like a guy worrying about the wings falling off the plane. sure,
it /can/ happen, but the fatigue characteristics of aluminum are /very/
well known and if you're within the "safe zone", you stand more chance
of being struck by a meteorite while walking through the passenger lounge.
