200k and trans hesitating a little. Considering having all the sensors swapped, flush at fluid and possibly change to a magnafine filter and add a trans cooler. How much am I looking for all the parts and liquids?

I live in an apartment complex that doesnt allow working on vehicles so I would likely have someone do the work for me. But wanted to get rough estimate on parts prices.

 

When's the last time you changed the tranny fluid? I felt hesitation from 2nd to 3rd (50-60kmph), under low load. If I added gas, the hesitation will stop and it will shift into 3rd. Naturally, I blamed the pressure switches and went to my mechanic to get a quote. He advised me that I would be pulling a code if my pressure switches were bad, and not to worry. Instead he said to try a tranny fluid flush, to my surprise it was BLAAAAACK. Well, not really, but it was very dark. I had recently purchased the car so it was on my list of to-do's anyways. And what do ya' know, I've yet to feel that same hesitation since the flush. *knock on wood* Now I'm not saying that it couldn't be the switches, I'm not saying my mechanic is right or wrong, I know we have issues with our transmissions and those pesky pressure switches but I'm just letting you know from my experience. TBH, I'd rather spend the money on a transmission fluid flush and see if that remedies the problem. But, to each his own.

 

Purchased the car and dont know if the previous owner ever had. Its doubtfull, its throwing an ODB code and I need to get it checked to see if its one of those switched. Its just a little bump between 2nd and 3rd. Here in Houston I often drive in stop and go traffic and dont want it to get worse.

 

i ran amsoil atf in mine and ran it hard...service manual calls for it to be changed at 90k & every 30k after that...

even acura told me not to worry about trans filter actually told me that i may cause the seals to leak due to it being closed up and sitting in its specific position for so long...

 

so leave the filter in and change the atf fluid only?

 

I'd change the ATF and switches and probably stop there. You likely don't need a transmission cooler or the special filter. You could do the tranny filter (OEM) as well, and it's actually pretty easy to do.
