Curious who has the highest mileage original 5AT (specifically the 04-06) and what you have done to make it last. I'm a data whore, so the more data points we have the better. I would like to know (1) year and your current mileage and how long you have owned her (2) what maintenance has been done, and (3) what driving conditions your car is subjected to. My goal is to pool enough data together to make this glass transmission last as long as possible. I'll start even though my TL is still a spring chicken.

1) 06, 76,000 original owner - shifts 100% perfect
2) 35,899 - replaced pressure switches and 1x3 DW1
36,276 - 1x3 DW1
36,400 - 1x3 DW1
38,648 - 1x3 redline type f
41,369 - 1x3 redline type f, type f LW, D4 combo
61,730 - replaced trans filter
63,503 - 1x3 redline type f, type f LW, D4 combo
3) 80% highway 20% city
Florida - hot, humid, flat

 

210,000km og tranny. car has lived in northern canada its whole life, regular fluid changes, still drives perfect...

my old 02 type s is still going on OG tranny well over 320,000 kms. Not sure why ppl says these are shitty transmissions and that once over a certain mileage they will blow.

Both my TL's have been subject to extreme temps and no issues

 

I wouldn't call the transmission on 04-06 TL's ' glass ' ...

 

there is a thread here made by a member he had a 04 or 05 (can't remember his user name) he sold the TL with around 240k miles on the clock with original AT. He had a WDP TL.

 

It's a hit and a miss on either the 2G TL tranny or 3G..

 

I'd say more of a potential miss on the 2Gs

 

In the big 3G mileage thread, there's a couple of people with 300k+ miles I think.

Not sure if there's way to verify original 5AT though. Only have to count on words of the poster.

My post is linked here: https://acurazine.com/forums/third-g.../#post15176982

One poster reports 322,000 miles

 

well if the AT give out anytime after 170k miles I would not be bitching at all. Consider most people did not state how they beat on the car without proper maint.

 

Very true. I think most modern ATs should last 250k+ with ease of driving and proper maintenance.

My last Accord I had I put in 280K mi on original AT with little maintenance and I was too lazy and forgot to replace the timing belt and that went so I changed to the TL.

My 06 has 166K and I am planning to get AT LEAST another 100k out of it!

 

proper maint and driving habit play huge impact.

 

I would agree with that but in my case. I've babied my car. changed trans fluid every 2nd motor oil change and changed pressure switches. Now transmission goes at 169k miles.

used oem fluids btw.

i dont speed around or drive hard. Thats what my S4 is for.
So im surprised the trans went at this mileage. Oh well.

 

^^^ did you owned the car since new?

 

I have 200k miles on my 07 Accord V6, which uses the same auto tranny as the 3G TL. 3x3 with DW-1 fluid every 15000 miles. SHIFTS LIKE NEW. Changed pressure switches once only at 150k miles. OE transmission filter changed twice only. No external cooler. You should not even take chances with aftermarket fluid. I read the threads about flaring and "right percentage" for Redline.... what is the point?

 

Purchased it used with 31k from dealership

 

there is a chance that it got beat by the previous owner but for 170k miles espcially if you live in a big city like new york, LA, Houston etc.. where traffic jam is daily... I would say your AT did a great job.

 

About 109k miles on original tranny and first ATF change at 50k miles, 3rd/4th switches at 60k miles, and now a 1x3 change every other oil change. Car driven normally, not abused. Car runs great so no issues yet.
I'm the original owner.

I use Castrol Z1 compatible Multi Import formula ATF and have since first ATF change- I use the high mileage version of this now.
