SERVICE INFORMATION
In the June '05 issue of ServiceNews , we gave you a complete list of tools and equipment you need to replace Honda A/Ts (see the article "REQUIRED SPECIAL TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT FOR A/T REPLACEMENT "). Here's something we really need to emphasize: Always use the transmission adapter T/N VSB02C000012. This piece of hardware securely holds the A/T to the transmission jack. If you don't use it, and the A/T falls off the jack and gets dinged, your dealership will get dinged a $1,000 core loss charge. Ouch!
