I always wondered where the filter as located, you just saved me a lot of time, thank you.

[@joek1980]

The mdx also has a small transmission filter that’s hooked up to the cooler lines. Sits on top of the transmission. The best thing for these honda transmissions is to drain/fill 3-4 quarts per year. It’s the best insurance. The service manual’s transmission service interval is way too long. The fluid should be changed often and remain pink/red.

[@bundysgarage]

Hello thank you for the detailed video. i have a 2007 V6 Automatic Honda Accord Special Edition, it has 210k miles on it. The transmission filter and fluid has never been changed. The transmission is running okay and it doesn't slip when driving. However I got the code A13. The 3 I believe is telling me to change transmission fluid. People have warned me to just leave it be since it has never been changed before. What would you do? Thank you

I would change it. Change it 3x. Drain and fill once drive it 1,000 miles and then do it again.

Does the fluid need to be drain before replacing that filter

[@danp7463]

No, since it only has trans fluid when the engine is running.

Those 5sp autos are notorious for going bad. You are better off using the baya trans from the 07 accords.

[@Dragandspinn]

Do we not disconnect a return line and let it run while pouring more in?

[@lowrider9367]

I find it concerning that you don't do anything to clean the area around where your working to prevent foreign debris from entering places it shouldn't. Just a little spray cleaner & air goes a long way.

[@WILDBILL3912]

Is this the K series or J series on the VIN....because I have been told its no filter on my 2000 Accord 3.0l V6???

It’s a J series. Some J Series have theses filters on their transmissions and some don’t. I think Honda should have put the filter on all of them!

Honda Pilots built after 2006 DO NOT have changeable transmission filters! They ARE inside the transmission. That’s probably why the fluid interval is 35000 miles.

How do I find out if my car has a filter? I have a 12 civic ex with 1.8l. I have drained fluid many times. Also what mileage....should u drain fluid? I know it takes like 3 times to get all of it out.

[@JPN850R]

Any OEM parts online vendor should have IPC's and you should be able to find it out by punching in your vehicle model. Some auto manufacturers say the ATF is good for life, which isn't true (most people sell their cars before it needs ATF change). If someone is planning to keep a car for a long time, ATF needs to be changed at every 30K to 40K miles. What happens is that old fluid forms deposits inside if not changed regularly, and introducing clean ATF would melt/dislodge those deposits, which eventually clogs up fluid passages and renders an ATX inoperative. It only takes a tiny piece of FOD to make ATX inoperative. Some shops have cycling machine with which you do not need multiple drain & fill procedure. I would let such shops do the job as modern ATX is like clockwork.

The color of the ATF looks terrible. I'll stick to my 6 speed MT.....(AC Delco fluid actually performs better in these 6 speed MTX than genuine Honda/Acura fluid)

[@danp7463]

Don't panic over dark ATF. On automatic transmission's there's clutch packs. Same with a wet clutch on a motorcycle. You can do an oil change and one short ride it will be dark again.

[@banetek]

@@danp7463 That's not exactly true. I change my ATF so frequently, you could put it into another car and drive 60k miles on it. Its still nice and red and translucent.

[@banetek]

Put Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer 1/3 quart + AMS Oil Synchromesh; if your looking to significantly outperform Honda fluid.

[@petershulick5270]

I'm sorry but this transmission and engine are disgusting looking, I take him over to the self-service car wash spraying down with Degreaser to set for 5 or 10 minutes depending, and then use the hot soap selection to clean off all the oil grease and Road grime off the underside of the engine and transmission and down the sides and top of the engine But be sure to cover your alternator with a towel and a plastic bag to seal it off or any other thing that's electrical or electronic that may be exposed? Then use the hot wax selection on the carwash and then that will get rid of any old grease that's left over as well as underneath and on the sides of the engine and transmission, remember this stuff is going to blow backwards toward the back of the car underneath which is going to code everything that needs to be washed off or degrees including the differential unit if it's rear-wheel drive or transfer case if it's a four-wheel drive or truck

ONLY use Honda ATF. Do NOT trust any other fluid in your honda tranny.

[@bundysgarage]

Why?

[@banetek]

I have a heavily modified 3.0L 2007 Accord Coupe with 330 Wheel HP, running AMS Oil Signature ATF + 1/3 Quart Lucas Oil Stabilizer. Dramatically increases torque converter bite, and shifting is extremely sharp and hard. The Lucas Oil protects the gears themselves from high HP, wear and from shattering.

[@banetek]

@@bundysgarage Hey. It's the guy with the 3.0L V6 Accord Coupe Road / Race Car... I finally had the trans filter changed at 135,000 miles. Because I'm a maniac and change my ATF like every 12k miles; it was not clogged, fairly clean and still functioning, and only had the slightest of extremely fine almost graphite like particulate in it. I am fairly sure that is a tiny bit of clutch pack from normal use. In doing its job correctly, a tiny bit of material very fine, will need to come off each time. But, what's important I think; is that the tiny bit of material that was in it, was smooth and silky like graphite. Anything gritty or chunky I would think is a bad sign. So in closing; yes you can pump the HP up significantly on a good J-Series Honda Transmission without damaging it. Even driving it hard / racing. But, only if you change your fluid very frequently and consider AMS Oil ATF.

[@banetek]

I'm in the process of installing a small Nitrous Wet Shot for my J30A5 Modded Beast. Only a 50 HP shot. I'll post a photo when done. Along with the cautions you should have, which are many. It should only be considered if you know what things you need to do, to keep it safe.

[@starbattles1]
