I wish I could offer some help but I have NO CLUE what the heck you are doing here. Almost every "bad transmission" thread here ends with "go to the shop". Sad because this site is to help one another wrench our own rides when possible.
Yeah, that's what most say. Very few people want to work on an auto transmission. I'm just very careful when working on something that I don't have complete confidence with. And this is one of those cases, so I'm taking my time, observing everything carefully. And taking pics and videos throughout the project.
I spent quite a bit of time researching before I decided to tackle this my self, I'm no expert by any means. Through that research, I've found quite a bit of information on cooling problems prevalent with all Honda transmissions. There are a couple of places that list upgrades to correct these issues. The first, use a kit with Raybestos clutches and steels (the part shown in the second disk picture).
Master rebuild kit: RAYBESTOS POWERTRAIN
PN: 30006
Valve body upgrade kit: SUPERIOR / FAIRBANKS
PN: STL-H05-388
Very detailed information on refurbing and upgrading the valve bodies. Not taking care of the valve body leads to many of the horror stories of shifting issues and premature wear after rebuild.
Lastly, Torque converter.
Torque converter, Honda (121 / 122 Tooth Ring Gear)
Part #: TC-HO79
These parts are for the BAYA and MAYA series of transmissions used in a few different v6 transmissions.
These three groups ran a little under $800, but I haven't shipped my old torque converter back yet. There is an $80 core. So once I ship that back, the cost of the transmission itself should be around $750.
