Who has good and bad things to say about the oil jet kit. I have 35K miles on the trans, it feels fine but i'm wondering if I should take it in for the inspection.

 

I don't think it does a damn thing. I was at the dealer the other day and the service mgr told me he has seen at least 3 come in 1,000 miles after the kit was installed with failures. The only thing I would worry about is if you don't do the recall and it does go out on you down the road a bit, they may not honor the tranny failure, or least give a hard time about it anyways..

 

you guys need to do a little searching before you start posting (sorry for saying it) but this has been discussed MANY times

there are 2 issues with the tranny. the oil jet only fixes 1 of them. the other one will not benifit from the jet kit, and is teh reason they upped the warranty to 100k. you would want to get the jet kit. the part that that protects from failing, is a major one. if it fais the tranny locks up (no downshifting to other lower gears) LOCKS UP due to failure and breakage (its the 1-2% failure rate that was found to be bad tranies in their report)

 

take it easy batman

 

its the 3rd gear clutch pack. its the most common problem

 

my tranny broke 2,000 miles after the jet kit

 

mine broke 4 miles after i drove off the acura dealership lot after getting the jet installed.

 

The oiljet bolt on does nothing but cause a tranny failure. Me, my father, and 3 of my friends (TL and TL-S) all had tranny failures within 1 month of this lovely "fix". Mine lasted 1 1/2 weeks, my father's lasted 2 weeks. My 3 friends' lasted from 2 -4 weeks after that oiljet crap was bolted on.

The replacement tranny supposedly has the oiljet built in instead of bolted on.

 

i had the oil jet installed 10k miles after my first tranny was replaced, then i drive about another 6-9 k on it with the jet kit on it and the tranny was still goin fine when the motor decided to die at 65k

 

Listen to da man!
