It lessened the failure rate, it didnt completely fix it, but yes, the holes in the pickup tube screen were made bigger in 04-05 which helped it to not get plugged, but they could have have actually fixed the issue by just installing a real filter... :/actually there is a difference because honda upgraded the internal automatic transmission filter on the 04-05 that was causing failures on the 01-03. also someone stated that all 04-05 have rear sway bars which is not true the 04-05 LX and VP do not have stock rear sway bars.
