Disadvantages of the Honda MZHA gearbox
- This is a very reliable and durable transmission, but only with regular oil changes;
- Dirty lubricant quickly wears out the solenoid valves and valve body channels;
- Those who like to make sharp starts often experience damage to the third gear drum;
- After 200,000 km, the pressure regulator bushing often wears out;
- Weak points of the automatic transmission include the overrunning clutch and bearings in the rear cover.
