Is "pressure switch" the technical name for that part? I've been looking for it or them and can't seem to find it

This is probably silly, but is "pressure switch" the technical name for the part? I can seem to find only DYI videos and not the actual parts themselves. Also, I assume the 3rd and 4th gear switches are two separate parts?

 

Have you looked at my links?

It shows the exact part number and name for both parts.

 

3x3 but each time you drain and fill wait for a period of 10k miles.

 

Sorry didn't mean to post that twice lol, thought the site was messing up lol. I'm reading those links now!

 

Perfect, thank you Polo!

 

Yeah I'm getting mixed responses on this. Some are saying do 1x3 initially to allow the new fluid to be slowly introduced and some are saying 3x3. I'm just not sure which to go with. I don't have any tranny problems as is and I don't want to incur any by doing the wrong method. This is primarily a PM project more than anything else. Plus, I put on average only 10k miles a year on her anyway if that makes any difference.

 

I felt the same way so I am changing 3 qts every 5k or so. It's almost $35 in fluid each time and I think it is worth it to run it a few thousand miles before just dumping it.

 

Does anyone have the 08' TL Type S pressure switch numbers?? I'm looking to do this along with the oil change in the coming weeks. Im going to do the
3x3 with the Honda DW-1 fluid (found it on amazon Honda 08200-9008) is that the correct DW-1 fluid?

 

As the manual states, I had the dealer replace my trans fluid at 60,000 miles. Even though the level was full, I had been getting the 2nd gear stutter for at least 20,000 miles, intermittently. After the fluid replacement it has nearly gone away completely.

Currently I'm at 86,000 miles, and thinking of replacing the fluid, but reading this thread has confused me. I'm now to replace 3 quarts of ATF every 3 months for the rest of the car's life, or am I reading that incorrectly?

 

See #13 & #14 in the following link for your pressure switches.
