Your assumption would be correct. Where I live it gets cold and I have corrected hard cold shifts, and harsh flare ups on more than a few BYBA transmissions with a 3x3 drain and fill. I have a 2002 W/255K, with a J32A2 Type S and I'm not always nice to it in 3rd, the gear that tends to grenade the trannies. That said, I would not condone using a TES-295 fluid. I use it in my Allison though.I assume:
Thicker fluid = higher line pressure = harder shifts? I could be wrong.
Accords, 06The Accords and TL's switched for the 07 model year I think it was. Not sure about the Oddy's, and I think the Ridgeline was always a 4 shaft unit, but I could be way way off on that. I don't know as much about the Ody/RL's.
Odyssey, 05
TL, 07
The rest, IDK, but the Odyssey was first, then the Accord, the Acura line was last, or at least the TL was last.
The 05, Oddy, and 06, 07 Accord transmissions will go into the 1999/2005 TL's. The gear ratio's are not exactly the same, but close.
