PN3A 2009-2015 Honda Pilot 3.5L AWD/4WD – Remanufactured 5-Speed Automatic Trans

Description

Across grueling 14-hour municipal patrol shifts demanding continuous all-wheel drive traction on steep grades, internal multi-plate clutch packs hold 145 PSI clamp pressure without slip inside the Honda Pilot PN3A 4WD Remanufactured Transmission engineered for 2009 to 2015 Honda Pilot four-wheel drive fleet utility vehicles equipped with 3.5L V6 engines.

High-integrity A380 die-cast aluminum casing walls enclose a balanced three-shaft gear train, upgraded clutch friction discs, and micro-honed separator plates. Hardened steel transfer drive gears direct auxiliary output force toward the rear differential companion flange. Dry weight equals 215 lbs without fluid, total fluid sump volume measures 8.5 quarts, and casing cooling ports feature 3/8-inch fluid line connectors.

Key Features of Honda Pilot

Municipal support departments choose to buy Honda Pilot remanufactured automatic transmission modules to ensure steady four-wheel drive grip and eliminate gear hunt in mountain conditions. Every hydraulic valve body receives CNC boring and premium sleeve upgrades.

• 3-shaft transmission layout distributes gear separation forces evenly across hardened casing journal walls.
• 145 PSI mainline hydraulic pressure halts forward clutch pack glazing during loaded climbs.
• Precision balanced lockup torque converters stop 45 MPH driveline vibration and chassis shudder.
• Hard-anodized internal valve sleeves eliminate hydraulic fluid cross-leaks across all shift ranges.
• Remanufactured Honda Pilot PN3A transmissions incorporate brand new dual-linear shift control solenoids.
• Heat-treated transfer drive gears route output torque toward rear drivelines without gear whine.
• Double-lip fluoroelastomer axle seals prevent automatic transmission fluid contamination and external fluid drops.
• Magnetic fluid pan drain plugs attract microscopic ferrous metal particles between scheduled drain intervals.

Dynamic Torque Transfer Gear Ratios

Linear hydraulic circuits generate 135 to 145 PSI line pressure to sustain 253 lb-ft peak torque at 4,800 RPM under severe commercial fleet routing. In-radiator fluid coolers dissipate internal friction heat to hold operating sump temperatures below 185°F. Forward gear steps feature a 2.69:1 first gear, 1.53:1 second gear, 1.02:1 third gear, 0.72:1 fourth gear, and 0.56:1 fifth gear overdrive.

All-Wheel Driveline Output Spline Specifications

The secondary output pinion shaft features a 30-spline male output interface that engages the all-wheel drive transfer unit without driveline lash. Internal park pawl linkages resist 2,000 lb-ft static roll forces on steep inclines. Front CV output shaft seals maintain 0.001-inch radial alignment to protect internal differential bearings from premature wear.

Pre-Service Inspection Operational Boundaries

Execute TCM adaptive pressure relearn procedures following installation to guarantee proper clutch fill time calculations. This transaxle is not engineered for deep mud bogging, rock crawling expeditions, or pulling trailers exceeding 4,500 lbs total loaded weight.

• Inspect fluid level using the hot-check dipstick method during each 10,000-mile service interval.
• Drain and replenish transmission fluid with genuine DW-1 fluid every 30,000 fleet miles.
• Check torque converter flexplate bolt torque and transfer case flange tightness every 12 months.

Warranty Statement Heavy Crate Checklist

Backed by a 3-Year / 100,000-Mile commercial fleet warranty covering components and labor. The heavy-duty shipping enclosure includes the remanufactured automatic transmission, balanced torque converter, replacement cooler line banjo washers, alignment dowel pins, and a certified dyno load test sheet.
