Our "filter" sucks so I think it would help. Anyone tried it what do you guys think?

bebop.fey

nope . . . i did a super ghetto style for a week = )
it actually sucks in more air and growls louder ^^
i got that cloth thing you put in the dryer and got like 3 of them and put it over the intake
removing our stock filter one = )

well it's a big risk but i did it until i got my intake with apexi filter = )

CLTECH

uhhh....he's talking about a whole other kind of filter man....

LOL to bebop...

That actually looks like a good product. I'd get one if I had the 3.0. Not really worried about the 2.3.

CLover210

Anyone tried one though?

40 bucks huh? i think i might save some rim/suspension money n put a bill or so into tranny cooler and one of these

ghost_masterCL

hmm... seems like a good idea. Isn't the filter what ultimately fucks the trannies anyways? Doesn't it get clogged and restrict coolant flow causing the tranny to heat up WAY too much which "melts" the gears?

if that's right then this thing would be perfect.

h2o-pr00f

if thats right looks like im gonna get that and a tranny cooler soon.. im so paranoid about the tranny blowing bc im not sure if its covered under my 3rd party warrantee.. i hope it is.. im gonna end up getting a tranny temp gauge pod too lol

CLover210

^^ thats right ghost_mastercl^^, man.......hard to believe i was a noob like a month ago and couldnt install my aem cai........now i got good ideas........thats right whos the noob now, lol jk. But yeah i think alot of people should invest in this and a tranny cooler. Our "internal filter" is what kills our trannies, we need something else to filter out crap so that we dont have to rely on our "filter" that doesnt do crap. Now that i know someone agrees with me on this product im going to get one and a b&m cooler too and while installing i may as well flush it even though i just got it serviced. thanks guys.

Sounds like a good idea. Wouldn't hurt to try.

3rd party warantee will cover tranny..

just make sure u dont file the claim untill like a month or so after u buy

the warantee, they think its shady.

also, 3rd party warantees are cool.. i just got one from CNA..

what type for u have ?

ghost_masterCL

dammit, someone who knows more about this needs to chime in.

what's a 3rd party warranty? how would I get one? do you get it when you buy the car at a dealership, or do you set it up yourself?

h2o-pr00f

dragon i cant find the stuff its like 230am ill let u know tomorrow... ive had it since i had my car in june/july tho n already got em to cover my new alternator and all new belts n stuff and a abs censor.. all i pay for is the tax and labor ;\

if you are all worried about a bad tranny filter causing excessive heat in the tranny, why not just get a super monster size tranny cooler and be done with it. now if you want to get a tranny filter so that the coolant lasts longer and cleans better, get the filter!

turbocl

i dont know if previous owner changed fluids but i did this preventative maintenance and had problems.Filter on trans?Dealership told me thats only for domestics, not my car.kill them if this is true.So the filter is internally?Easily removed?

CLover210

DrDre1443, why not both lol. Thats what I plan on doing getting a nice big cooler and an external filter, cant go wrong and there both cheap, so why not?

Motohip

Did any of you guys try it yet?

ajtcl

The internal filter is not servicable. It is a screen, not a filter. As for an exsternal cooler/filter, Acura doesn't recomend it, but it really couldn't hurt unless you fuck up on the install and let dirt or debris get into the hoses.

CNA is the warantee company.

go to a used bmw dealer, ask them for a warantee on your acura,

this is what i did.
