Disadvantages of the Honda PN3A gearbox
- This is a reliable automatic transmission, but only if you change the oil and filters every 60,000 km;
- Dirty lubricant accelerates wear on solenoids and valve body passages;
- Renew the torque converter clutch regularly, or its wear products will clog the oil passages;
- At high mileage, wear on the pressure regulator bushing is common;
- Weak points of this transmission include the overrunning clutch and third gear drum.
