JDM MLJA Automatic Transmission for the Acura TSX and Honda Accord

The second-generation Acura TSX is a favorite for its sharp handling and bulletproof 2.4L engine. Even so, its automatic transmission eventually wears out, especially after years of stop-and-go driving. This JDM Honda MLJA TSX automatic transmission, serial 2002493, gives you a factory-correct fix. In addition, it fits the 2008–2012 Honda Accord 2.4L, because both cars share the same platform.

Why the TSX and Accord Share This Transmission

In Japan and Europe, Honda sold this car as the Accord. Meanwhile, Acura brought the same car to the US as the TSX. Because both use the 2.4L K24 and this 5-speed automatic, the MLJA is a direct OEM part for either one. As a result, TSX and Accord owners can shop from the same supply of JDM transmissions.

Repair or Replace?

A transmission rebuild often costs thousands and takes your car off the road for a week or more. On the other hand, a used JDM unit costs much less and installs in a day. Moreover, JDM drivetrain parts frequently come from lower-mileage cars, thanks to Japan’s strict shaken inspection rules. Therefore, replacement is usually the faster and cheaper choice.

Fitment

• 2009–2014 Acura TSX 2.4L four-cylinder, automatic
• 2008–2012 Honda Accord 2.4L four-cylinder, automatic
• Not for V6 models or manual-transmission cars

The easiest way to confirm fit is to match the code on your current transmission with MLJA. Alternatively, send us your VIN, and we’ll check for you.

Installation Tips

First, use only genuine Honda ATF, filled to the correct level. Next, flush the cooler lines if your old transmission failed internally. Finally, inspect the engine and transmission mounts, since worn mounts often cause harsh engagement.
