Rep Power: 0 I understand turbo means more hp and torque, it is a brand new honda tranny, he said the the valve bodys arent knowing when to work cause of the vafcII saying that it is the ecu making it do this

Get a tranny cooler and put the car in neutral when stopped at a light so it doesn't heat up as much. VafcII only allows you to change fuel and vtec engagement.
That is not an ordinary rabbit tis the most foul cruel beast

If you're are not driving in constant stop and go traffic and stalling the torque convertor to raise the RPMs for launches then there is no reason for your tranny to overheat. If you are doing these two things then yes get a tranny cooler and monitor your temps. Tranny slippage is a symptomn of a possibly going tranny.
And it is torque that kills transmissions (manual or auto) not horsepower.

ACTUALLY, if you want to be nitpicky (sp?), HEAT kills transmissions......

Rep Power: 813 All you need is a tranny cooler. Heat kills 90% of all transmissions that go bad. It's easy to install, and mine only cost $50. Don't waste thousands on a conversion that probably won't work perfectly anyway.
