Sbould you also change the trans filter?
I changed the transmission fluid in my 2003 Civic (with the 3 Qrts Honda
ATF-Z1). It was easier than changing the gear oil, back in the days when I
only drove the stick shift cars.
Does the drain plug have a torque spec?
I tend to always use the factory fluid. I would rather spend $20 more on
fluid them $3000 on a new tranny
A lot of youtube mechanics are saying that you are draining and adding 3
quarts of transmission fluid on a 2001 Honda Oddyssey. The Honda parts
counter told me I am draining and replacing 3.5 quartz, not 3 quarts. My
2003 Civic has a 3 quart transmission fluid change and my 2001 Oddyssey has
a 3.5 Quart transmission fluid change.
XD you had me until the boob grab at the end. That’s exactly how it looks
to a dirty girl! :P
if only it was that easy to take off my screw like that i need brute force
Did eric mean that they were having problems because of the Flush Machines?
I understand now you suppose to use the Honda fluid DW-1 is this correct
does it supercede Z-1 thx, Bill
Thanks for the video always been curious about this. Why the mechanic place
charge do much from $55-120.
when should you change transmission fluid? we have an accord coupe 2008
bought it new in 2008. haven’t changed transmission since. is it time in
2014? thanks
Eric, This Charles in Florida, I own a 1999 Acura TL 3.2 6V
I Changed my Transmission Fluid in 15 min just B4 it rain most of the day.
I used 3/8 ratchet for bottom,, 17MM with extenion and breaker bar,,3-QT’s
of ATF Honda 1,, Dip Can,,Long Funnel,, Bottle Trans-X because my car just
went over 200,006 miles
A car shop wanted to charge me $178.00 only if i have paper work from last
shop who did it…Only to flush it and so said 13 qt T.F
Your insight only cost me $ 45
TY Eric For saving me MONEY and TIME.

I have a 97 prelude base with the four speed tiptronic trans., my question
is, is there any way of bumping up the line pressure (for crisper shifts)
or making other adjustments without spending 1000$ on a controller? I want
to keep the auto trans, partially to show these kids that an auto, with the
right parts can indeed be a quick car. any advice. not many parts
available, such as stall converter, and shift kits, or valve bodies. this
is my first import, we’ve always built mopars, I can’t afford the gas for a
powerful v8 anymore that’s why I switched to Honda
Great video! My son watched the video and changed the fluid on his 2003
Acura TL with no problems!
dude Eric your so awesome man thank you for this Video
“There is no filter, the filter is internal inside the transmission.”
Wait. What?
The next thing I say to you will be true.
The last thing I said was false.
I agree with you that Honda Fluid DW1 (today which replaces the Z1) in
Honda/Acura Automatic Transmissions. Having said that; I would like to
share with everyone that I currently have a 1991 Accord EX with Auto which
I have been using Mobile 1 Synthetic ATF since the odometer was at 30k. It
currently has 328k and have no transmission issues. The Schedule of change
was ever 50k. Still, as a professional mechanic, I would recommend that you
all stay with Honda DW1 or whatever replaces DW1 in the future.
I have a Honda civic 1994 and transmission leak all the oil and my step dad
told me if I put new oil at the transmission will mess up and he told me to
find reusable transmission oil but I can’t find any can any one help me
thax
Dear sir Is it possible to translate in bangle?
Hey ericthecarguy
I’m trying to replace mounts on a 1998 honda accord v6 starting with trans
mounts… Can you pls tell me locations and how to access them. Thanks!
Hey Eric, how long is the shelf life for the honda trans fluid unopened?
hi Eric, whats the size of the rech u used to take out the the trans drain
plug?
Aren’t you supposed to start the car and shift gears before and after
changing?
Hello Eric, i drained and replaced my transmission fluid on my 2000 accord,
at around 108k miles, it now has around 127k miles and every time i take it
to a shop for an oil change they almost force me to get a transmission
fluid flush, and this is the story with the 3 different locations i’ve
taken my car. The car drives perfect, gears shift smoothly including first
to second, as far as i can tell, the transmission is sound, there is no
noise or clunk sounds between shifts. I checked my transmission fluid
today, its not red, but its not black either, its like light brown with a
hint of red. I just want to know if its safe for me to flush the system
with new fluid (drain>fill>drive>drain>fill>drive…etc)? will that ruin my
transmission?
I got a 2010 Honda Odyssey Minivan with about 39k. I’ve yet to change the
transmission oil, is my transmission now screwed?
and yes, I’m gonna have it changed asap.
always use factory fill fluid, because you can never get old fluid out
100%, so mixing the same type of factory fill won’t give you problems, you
never know mixing other fluids is going to cause, i.e. mixing VW factory
fill green coolant with store bought coolant, it will gel up and you will
get no flow.
I have been paying the dealership to change my transmission fluid on my
Civic and Odyssey. I am looking at doing it myself because everything is
going up sky high at the dealership service department. They also try to
use the service interval to grow their tire business and their battery
replacement business. I go to a tire store for my tires and I go to
Autozone for my batteries.
