depends on your funds yo ucan do a tranny cooler or just wait and do the TCI auto master overhaul kit. it sales for about 240 I believe now then have in installed and also change your fluid to Red line it or purple power it makes a drastic difference with the auto.


do your research and make your choice on quality parts for the turbo kit. I still have mine for sale if anyone is looking.

redline or purple power is better fluid to use after upgrades or you can get a tranny cooler sometimes they help but it does not last as long as upgraded parts will.

according to the part numbers and all that I found they are the same so it might just work. Double check with TCI on the parts that come with the kit.

this is what the site say

Our Racing Overhaul Kits contain the housing & cover gaskets,filter,
o-rings,checkballs,gear shaft locknuts, lock washer, sealing washers
& metal clad seals. The Master Racing Overhaul kits also include
Alto Red Eagle hight-performance clutches and kolene treated steel
for all clutch packs.

i agree with you i think the auto transmission of a 01-05 are the same

well according the the honda parts guide they are the same from my research if anyone else can chime in on this then its a go and get the TCI kit to help you poor autos out. I know I enjoyed mine under boost and miss the sound of the BOV but I can't help but love my 6 speed rsx-s more.

the 01-03 are the same I replaced my warped tranny from a 03. same bolt up etc.. as for the kit I guess you might have to wait or see if its the same . As far as I know so far its all the same parts, if not I know the discs are the same atleast.

they are the same trannies, all of them

I bolted a 2004 tranny up to my 2002,

what I did noticed different however is the 01-02(possibly 03's too) have trouble and shift hard.

the 04 tranny shifts a lot better and more smooth, all of the parts are the same, or should be the same for the 01-05 tranny.

i would call and talk to someone who knows for sure not just speculating that because the outside is the same then the inside must be the same!
