Honda Element - Transmission Fluid & Filter Replacement

[@1jackvalley580]

Great info, you explain and show everything really well, Thank You. It was a good suggestion to not only replace the inline transmission filter, but to change the rubber hose and clamps as well. Really appreciate you and your videos🙏🌟

Great job! That cover is really a pain to remove. I had to remove it when I replaced my a/c fan last summer.

[@Element_lifestyle]

It is.

[@paulwies4442]

Great video. Very helpful. Ooops you forgot the safety jack stand.

[@Element_lifestyle]

Your welcome. I did use jack stand. I will never work with not jack stand :)

[@gsdls]

Great video

You better did it well bro.gotcha

[@robinwilson8435]

Is this just for an automatic transmission?

[@ReadySetElement]

Nice man good stuff. It's always important to change this out. I've been replacing ours every 50k miles just because it's a 04 why not right ?

[@Element_lifestyle]

Exactly 💯

[@8325A]

Does the 07 element sc has the filter same place as older elements?

[@robertdonadee9860]

I'm pretty sure on a Honda ,the engine is warm but turned off to properly check the fluid level.

[@mikepadilla2149]

I literally did this just one hour ago with my dad. The main reason we did the oil change and replaced the fuild filter was because my transmission was overheating and shooting out trans fuild from the top near the dip stick, I think it’s called a breather tube for the transmission.

[@mikepadilla2149]

I test drove if for ten minutes and check everything so far so good. We’ll see tomorrow though I’m gonna drive for at least an hour on the freeway and see if my problem persists.

[@Element_lifestyle]

@@mikepadilla2149I hope all goes well please update me on this 👍

[@mikepadilla2149]

I sure will thank you 🙏

[@mikepadilla2149]

@@Element_lifestyle sorry I took long to get back to you but it seems like it fixed my problem no more overheating transmission and it’s not leaking from the breather tube anymore!!

Hello, BTW, love your videos. I have a 2009 Element SC w/AT. I have 305K miles. AT shifts fine. Unfortunately, the AT fluid and filter have never been changed. What are the thoughts on changing it?

[@dancohen8476]

change it! I did on mine, really helped

[@goodnamesareallgone1]

At this point it's a crap shoot I think. Lots of people have reported problems after changing tranny fluid if it's been neglected... though technically it should have been changed at least a few times over it's 305k mile history.

[@bped8790]

Miguel - Will it damage the engine mounts or other aspects of the vehicle if you put your floor jack on the flat spot with the hole in it on the cross-member that is shown at 6:35 of the video? I've seen other mechanics put their jack at that point to jack the front end up and then place the floor jacks on the jacking points behind the front wheels.

[@Jumpman67]

I was googling "honda element jack points" and saw a diagram that said you can jack the vehicle up from that point. hope that helps.

[@madcolor]

Is the filter for a 2005 : 25430-PLR-003 ?

[@Jumpman67]

yup

[@themindunset]

Do you work on other people's elements?

[@Element_lifestyle]

Yea

[@SilverStrings25]

Does it run better after u replaced filter?

[@Element_lifestyle]

It runss excellent. Now I got 202k miles in my E

[@SilverStrings25]

[@Element_lifestyle]

@@SilverStrings25 i will do te same my transmission starts to slip and if not check engine ligt on. Change the fiter and fluid. I hope it et better.

[@Element_lifestyle]

@@SilverStrings25 let m know how it goes

[@HotRod-wv4vm]

Honda doesn’t recommend transmission filter change unless you are repairing the transmission. I took it to Honda and they confirmed this.

[@Element_lifestyle]

Oh cool. Nice to know that. I will research In my program just to double make sure. But me as a mechanic I will definitely replace it. Especially some people don’t even know there is transmission filter in line.

[@HotRod-wv4vm]

@@Element_lifestyle my Honda dealer refused to charge the filter. Someone had indicated that it was in the service manual but I haven’t checked.

[@Element_lifestyle]

@@HotRod-wv4vm i checked my program . They only recommend to replace it if the filter is leaking, contaminated or transmission was overhauled. Is not a maintenance item but I still will replace it at least every 60k miles(personal opinion)

[@HotRod-wv4vm]

@@Element_lifestyle ok that’s what I had heard

[@EulogizingSleep]

@@HotRod-wv4vm they clog very easily and while Honda dealers don’t recommend changing it’s pretty obvious it should be changed.

[@mattboyd7837]

And the differential

[@Element_lifestyle]

Also I have a video for that.

[@mattboyd7837]

Did this already

[@Element_lifestyle]

That's great. Keeping the Transmision with fresh fluid 😎👍

[@carlosherrera9337]

Well you just flushed half of the fluid - and added half of the new one - normally you have to flushed two more times and waste all that fluid - to get a clean transmission fluid …!!!! Bad design. !!!!! Nice that you replace the filter. !!!!!
