MZKA 2005-2006 Honda Element 2.4L AWD/4WD – Remanufactured 4-Speed Automatic Trans

Description

Across grueling 14-hour urban logistics shifts demanding 200 stop-and-go curb drops, internal friction plates hold 142 PSI clamp pressure without slip inside the Honda MZKA Remanufactured Automatic Transaxle engineered for 2005 to 2006 Honda Element utility fleets with 2.4L engines and real-time four-wheel drive driveline configurations.

The die-cast A380 aluminum casing incorporates reinforced web sections, dual internal oil passages, and precision CNC-machined valve body cavities with hardened sleeve inserts. High-temp friction discs withstand continuous cycling without friction material degradation. The unit weighs 181 lbs dry, holds 7.2 quarts of automatic transmission fluid, and utilizes standard 3/8-inch fluid cooler tube attachments.

Key Features of Honda MZKA

Fleet operators choose to buy Honda MZKA automatic transmission packages to end shift flaring and eliminate internal hydraulic pressure bypass during high-temperature summer routes. Every transaxle receives comprehensive mechanical remanufacturing to factory standards.

• 4-speed mechanical gear sets transfer engine power with high driveline efficiency under loaded conditions.
• Sonnax hard-anodized valve bore sleeves restore hydraulic line pressure to factory specifications.
• Precision balanced torque converter units prevent engine idle shudder and driveline vibration.
• Pulse-width modulated solenoids undergo flow bench matching to ensure predictable gear shift points.
• Honda MZKA utility transaxles incorporate micro-polished clutch drum journals to reduce seal friction.
• Heavy-duty casing output seals maintain leak-free operation under severe axle joint angles.
• High-retention magnetic drain plugs collect steel wear particles from internal gear meshes.

Hydraulic Line Limits Dynamic Ratios

Internal fluid pumps maintain 132 to 144 PSI line pressure to support 160 lb-ft continuous input torque at 4,000 RPM across severe fleet operations. Auxiliary heat exchangers dissipate 920 BTU/min to hold sump temperatures below 185°F. Mechanical reduction ratios provide 2.68:1 first gear, 1.53:1 second gear, 1.08:1 third gear, and 0.74:1 fourth gear overdrive.

Transfer Spline Interface Center Bearing Tolerances

The four-wheel drive transfer drive gear connects via a 28-spline output interface designed for exact transfer case alignment. Radial runout across the front differential outputs remains under 0.001 inches, halting oil seal weepage. The bell housing flange features precision dowel holes matching Honda K24 engine block dowel locations.

Fluid Verification Negative Conversion Warning

Verify line pressure at transmission test ports and complete a stationary shift adaptation relearn before fleet service. This transmission is not engineered for competition vehicle conversions, deep mud crossings, or towing equipment exceeding factory vehicle load ratings.

• Examine transmission fluid levels using the factory dipstick during each scheduled service.
• Drain and replace automatic transmission fluid using DW-1 fluid every 30,000 miles.
• Inspect all-wheel drive transfer housing bolts for correct clamping torque every 12 months.

Fleet Guarantee Package Crate Details
