i need tranny help, as always! Whenever its running in the sun for a while it starts slipping. Its got plenty of fluid and the car doesnt run hot according to the gauge but the enigne conpartment is excessively hot, and obviously so is the tranny ! Im so tired of hondamatics!

B&M Remote auto trans cooler. follow the instrcutons and just connect it in-line with the radiator trans cooler.

Synthetic trans fluid.

check the fluid, if your radiator is leaking water into the trans fluid it will cause slippage

Hmm well I don't get slipage and it seems to pull well when the gear changes... I've got 2 B&M opil coolers.
Both are installed infront of the radiator one is infront of the fan... I actually decided it would be best not to mount the oil cooler directly to the radiator... I also am not using the stock oil cooler since I have 2 coolers... the harder I drive the cooler the fluid gets... once the fan is on, it takes only 3-5 seconds for the fins on the oil cooler to go from hot to cool-to-the-touch.
and on the second cooler which is not by the fan, it takes a little longer and doesn't get as cool.
I think they run from $60 - $80 dollars.
one with a seperate fan just for the cooler runs about $140, but it's not made by B&M

would too much fluid cause overheating/slippage? cuz i have/had way too much fluid in their!

nope, too much fluid will burst a transmission cooling line... the hole might not be visable but it will cause slipage cause the transmission fluid needs to be under pressure

in my old auto whenever i drove it for awhile or ran it hard it'd slip all to hell. i figured it was something due to the leaks, come to find out when i started my swap the ATF looked like 80-90w oil....nice a burnt

When you do put a trans cooler of your choise, I would splice it in on the RETURN line. Why? because you already know the fliuds been cooled inside the radiator right? Its then cooled again before entering trans.
I also suggest going to boneyard and getting a mopar fwd trans cooler. It should be easely adapted to a honda near the power steering cooler lines.
Which One is the return line on a 3-g I dunno take lines off for a second and start engine wih bucket in place and find out.
here is another trick. why dont u spray a good amount of engine degreaser on your tranny and power wash that bitch? I am sure it would add a lot to your cooling effect.
