Thread bump?
Thread bump, any updates on being the guinea pig? After reading that the #1 cause of death for CVT is literally excessive heat, adding small items like these to prolonge the life would definitely be necessary towing or not.Thanks. My research shows Honda CVTs in Spain/New Zealand, I would presume other countries as well, have a short factory "loop" inlet/outlet hose on top of the CVT, in addition to the so-called "warmer". Unfortunately USA CVTs do not have that "loop" hose.
To attach the Honda stacked plate cooler to the CVT (other countries), the short "loop" hose is removed from the top of the CVT and new/longer rubber tranny fluid hoses, supplied with the new cooler, attach between the cooler and CVT. The "warmer" is never touched.
I would not be interested in the cooler PRL Motorsports sells, but would be interested in that part that replaces the factory "warmer" IF it also fit the CRV CVT. I might have to bite the bullet, presuming PRL would sell the part minus the cooler. Just think, I could be the 1st USA Gen 5 CRV with an auxiliary tranny cooler. LOL
some markets of civic/crv overseas come with them from hondaThread bump, any updates on being the guinea pig? After reading that the #1 cause of death for CVT is literally excessive heat, adding small items like these to prolonge the life would definitely be necessary towing or not.
Found this little gem from TYC destined for the RDX (2009+ - apparently Acura's comes with trans cooler) and wonder how much of a pain would it be to add this to our crv's.
