Disadvantages of the Honda MGPA gearbox
- If you change the oil and filter every 60,000 km, the automatic transmission will last 300,000 km or more;
- Impurities in the oil contribute to rapid wear of the solenoids and valve body channels;
- Remember to replace the torque converter clutch every 200,000 km;
- Otherwise, wear products will clog the oil channels and reduce lubrication pressure;
- The selector position sensor and overrunning clutch are also considered weak points in the transmission.
