The Superior STL-HO5-388 is a valve body upgrade kit engineered for 5-speed, 6-cylinder Honda and Acura automatic transmissions. This kit aims to eliminate or reduce numerous common complaints, including lockup codes, clutch burnout, torque converter slip or shudder at low RPM in 3rd gear, lockup clutch drag at idle, and various shifting issues like delayed engagement, double bumps, shudder on light to mid-throttle shifts, and erratic or bump shifts. The kit features the state-of-the-art TransLab engineered SURE-Cool Pressure Regulator system, which provides steady stream, progressive rate, dual pressure regulation with extended range. It also includes no-stick CPC valves with no-leak plugs and recalibrated springs, a special R-D orifice plug, and accumulator re-calibration parts. Easy-to-follow instructions and technical guidance are provided. By installing the STL-HO5-388 kit, users can expect reliable converter charge in all ranges, leading to longer converter life. It also provides increased cooler flow with an improved lube system, resulting in shorter, better-feeling shifts with increased clutch capacity and improved engagement control. This upgrade is specifically designed for 6-cylinder engines and features .388" CPC valves.
