Honda Transmission Rebuild Video - Transmission Repair

Honda Transmission Rebuild Video - Transmission Repair
On this video we see what it takes to Rebuild a Honda Transmission, what parts it takes and what has been working to correct some of the common failures on these transmissions.
Blue Overheated Torque Converters has been a common issue on these Transmissions for a long time and we still see this regularly to this day.
Although there are various shift correction kits and special valves out there, all work really good on correcting the issue with the lack of converter feed fluid. I like them all. So if a deciding factor is important to you on which method to use, all I can say is this, They all work.
Keep in mind that there are "other" fixes or items that can be added to the rebuild, but it is not really necessary if they're not really needed, I'm not mentioning any but I know some of you will.
With that being said I like to thank you for watching this video and liking it and sharing it.
Thank you guys for your support.

This wasn't a rebuild. It was a full Tech College video handbook on how an instructor should conduct a video. Not just rebuild it with music in the background, but superior understanding of every part and detail explanations on everything you touch. I don't even have a Honda but I just couldn't turn away from the wealth of information you were giving away. Thank you!

Hiram, I just wanted to say thank you! MY My 16 y.o. son stumbled onto a beautiful 2004 fully loaded Acura with a bad trans; for $1,000. We watched your tear down and rebuild videos extensively and it significantly helped us do that awesome father-son project every father dreams of. Although it took us a while as he did all the work himself, we now have a fully rebuilt BDGA sitting on our shop bench waiting to go back into the car. I am confident it will work when we fire it up in a few weeks. Again, thank-you. You're the best!. You're part of the Father-son experience we shared; it was like you were there with us the whole way. Paul and Ryan.

[@wendellgreenidge6876]

How did your transmission rebuild turn out??? Because I'm about to rebuild my 05 Acura TL bdga tranny

[@paulpetery1736]

+Wendell Greenidge The Acura TL is not fully together yet, so no test yet. About 2-3 more weeks (we take our time due to the learning experience for my son). Helpful things: I got the Sonnex caps for the valve body as mentioned in the video (they have o-ring seals, so no scoring of the old caps needed, and no leaks!). Also did the translabs shift correction kit. also the Buddy Brushes for polishing the valve body (well worth the 40.00 paid). Got the torque converter and master trans rebuild kit from Rockauto at great prices. Watch the video several times, it's helpful. What I caught on my own was where the counter shaft and secondary shaft sealing rings meet metal- check those metal areas closely for wear- replace if needed. The rebuild was easy. I'm confident it will work. If not, I'll do it again until I figure out me error. Got all the trans hard parts from acurapartsforless- I replaced all the shaft bearings (6), and also the 1st gear hub bearings (4). FYI, my largest problem was in the 3rd gear clutch pack - worn metals and discs. Oh yes, I also replaced the 3 and 4th gears sensors as people report them going bad and wearing out the 3rd gear clutch pack. You know that the 2004 Acura TL Dealership manual can be downloaded online- it will serve you well as that has a BDGA trans. In your tans rebuild kit, some of the metal discs look the same- they are not- some are of different thicknesses- get a digital caliper gauge. I think BDGA's are in the Acura TL, Honda Pilot and van - so look for those manuals as well.

[@jasonalexander6417]

Any update on your transmission rebuild?

[@adamhlj]

How did it all turn out?

[@robertlamb6016]

great vifeo i ass wondering do you have a toyota automatic trsnsmission rebuild. video

[@tomscott1163]

Thanks for the Video, It brought back the good old days of when one could afford to take care of their property. There was a place in Memphis, that tore down and rebuilt Transmissions " All makes and models " They would give you a choice of either a complete overhaul or a swap out. 800 for the overhaul inspected by instructors and students, Took 1/2 a day wait time and 25oo for the swapout. They were fair and trustworthy. Good bunch of fellas and they really knew what the hell they were doing. Over haul got you new steam cleaned transfer case with all new rubber o rings and filters. , the swap out was a completely rebuilt transmission. It was around 150 thousand miles when you would need to require another transmission. And it didn't cost you a arm and a leg to do it either. This was a Transmission school and it was a real good one to. When you graduated from this place , you knew something. The place could handle 5 yo 6 cars at a time. It had quite a set up and was one of the best transmission repair shops in the south east. This school quite possibly brought in around 300,000 to 500,000 per year. Each area did only one thing at a time. Ex' break down, ,,,, inspection,,,,,,, steam cleaning,,,,, recondition/ replace new,,,,,,,,inspection again,,,,,reassembly,,,,, reinstall . all returns were handled just like a 1 year warranty. 45% of the profits went for the Student that couldn't afford his or her tuition. There was a waiting list 2/3 years long just to get into this school. and the customers were placed on a month to a 6 month waiting list to get in. To bad that there aren't any such thing today, ToDay ist's just Gouge and rob the public for all that can be gotten.

[@Eric-bb2rz]

I just wanted to say that I don't own a Honda or Acura and don't know that I will any time soon. However, I started watching this video and was so impressed with the amount of knowledge, detailed information, and quality of it that I actually watched the whole video. I am quite fascinated with the internal working of automatic transmissions/transaxles and have never found a quality source of information to explain them, until now. I do plan on watching more of your videos in the future. Thank you for posting these. JOB WELL DONE!

[@whocares.95]

Do you know the size of the bolts used to pull the three shaft bearings?

[@hempwick8203]

[@justincrasi4638]

Rebuilt my baxa with your videos and the official rebuild manual combined and its been working great about 1,500 miles shifts excellently. Thank you!

[@BBuncky2]

I really hope a tech like this is paid quite a bit of money. This amount of specialized knowledge just blows me away.

[@hondamikk]

I don't usually comment on videos, but Hiram, this was amazing!! I don't think I blinked the entire time. There was so much information, so many little tricks & tips in there....I'm blown away. You totally have a gift to teach. Thank you so much for this video!

[@kashiapomo1958]

whoever you are - man thank you - there are plenty of us who are not blessed with a whole lotta money and this video takes the mystery out of the transmission problems we are all facing.. thank you brother thank you

[@Account4096]

I have a 2001 Civic (standard drive) in the shop right now for transmission repairs. (The friction plates wore out, just like the ones in this video). I just wanted to thank you so much for taking the time to make this video - the amount of knowledge in this video is incredible and you explained everything in a clear and educational manner! I feel like I've learned half a semester course's worth of material. 2 hours WELL SPENT.

[@danholstein4881]

Excellent video. Thanks so much for your time and expertise and willingness to make these videos. The lengthy videos are not a problem at all.

[@joshuahstrobele2252]

This video has saved me from losing even more money paying the wrong guy for a "rebuild". I split the trans to find that the transmission had only been cleaned and clutches installed. I found a total of 4 valves completely stuck upon tear down & inspection. Without this video I would have not had the confidence to tear into one of these transmissions. Without this video and your wealth of knowledge I wouldnt have cleaned, inspected and assembled right the first time.You are a natural born teacher and get right to the point without getting of track, which is key when assembling this transmission. I was able to rebuild my transmission with this video right by my side every step of the way. I cannot thank you enough for this well detailed how to with some of the best advice I've seen for these units. very well done.

[@rbarr1200]

This coming Thanksgiving , I'm going to thank GOD for our food and other things. You'll be on the list of things I'm thankful for.

[@JustSmyleKyle]

Hiram, I just want to thank you so much! I followed your video to the letter and you did not steer me wrong. I've never done anything like this before but with your guidance I was able to rebuild my transmission and my van is running great now. Thank you so much!

[@1zeagle]

Wow was this interesting to me, no joke. You have a perfect way of explaining this work while performing it and I thank you for producing it. The A/T is such a mystery to most of us aspiring to be mechanics; great stuff all your videos Hiram.

[@sergelavallee913]

I've never seen such pro in my life. I'm an electronic technicien, sometime i do precision jobs but i have never did a job as this one, you are a god. Well my axle is loose in my transmission because i think the transmission bearing is broken. So, after what i did just seen, i will just change for another transmission. I will never risk what you did. You are the best. Thank's Hiram!

[@rickresetar7283]

Incredible work. So hard to find people who do quality work. Keep the videos coming.

[@justincrasi4638]

I'm rebuilding my own baxa and I wouldnt be able to do it without yout videos. Ive probably watched the teardown and rebuild video on these 30 times back and forth bc there are so many little details to make sure are done correctly. Thank you for your videos.

[@michaelshaw1906]

Hi Hiram, You are awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing your extensive knowledge about transmissions to the rest of us gearheads. I have a 2000 Honda Accord V6 Ex with a B7XA (Imagine that, the same one in your video) I watched your video and decided it was worth the savings to try for myself. It took me around 60-70 hours from pulling the engine to cranking it up after the build. I have got about 1000 miles on it since the rebuild and it runs perfect. I could not have done this without your help and expertise. You are a very seasoned technician and your instruction was invaluable as you showed us all about this little machine. We all appreciate good instruction, and you are the Professor! I had to work out troubleshooting and changing a few of the solenoids because after the build I had a heavy first gear downshift, but after replacing the solenoids it has been perfect. I cannot thank you enough. Sincerely, Mike Shaw

[@olbricky6824]

So Michael, If I rebuild mine will you help me lol (if I need some advice)

[@michaelshaw1906]

@@olbricky6824 Sure, If I can be of any help I will try. It has been a couple of years since I did the job but the transmission is still running strong. The first thing you need to do is buy an online factory service manual from ATS and read about how to do this to make sure it is something you can handle. If you watched Hiram's video and are not intimidated then you should be able to handle it, it does require access to good tools as well. Good luck!

[@olbricky6824]

@@michaelshaw1906 sweet.. it would just be if I get stuck on something..you can never be too sure on part orientation or how something is supposed to go together. I downloaded the BAXA/M6HA ATSG manual, some parts diagrams and some ATRA literature/diagrams for Honda 3 shaft trans a few weeks ago and have been studying the transmission pretty much every day for a month. I have watched Hiram's Honda 4 speed tear down video a couple of times and have had this video on loop for about a month. The one thing I am not sure on is which Overhaul Kit is being used/recommended by the manufacturers at this time and which shift kit to use.. I understand there are two ways to modify the line to converter charge. Drill a hole in the valve body or buy the special valve? At first it looked a little intimidating in the video because all of the parts but I feel like it's groups of parts that go together rather than a million individual parts. Also, for the valves that don't have o-rings at the end, Hiram and ATRA indicate a groove should be cut into the end facing the retainer. Is the groove that is cut into the valve supposed to do the sealing itself or are we adding another o ring in the groove???

[@michaelshaw1906]

@@olbricky6824 that sounds like a great start. I would be sure to check all of the shift solenoids before pulling the tranny first. My trans actually had bad solenoids and when I tore into it I found that internally was still serviceable and did not need a complete rebuild. But I already had all of the stuff. The solenoids are not real expensive and are worth the effort. I actually got mine fro LKQ. But if you are sure you need to rebuild I will have to look up what I got to put in it. It was a rebuild kit with a 1,2 shift kit included. You just have to step up a couple of holes in the valve body plate and replace a couple of valve body springs. They give you everything you need to do it. Send me your email address and I will try to send you a list of parts I used. [e-mail]

[@JPMBC-io4ts]

I should have realized it was my mistake. I was so paranoid about the chaffing that I over compensated by making sure the shafts came up as much as possible. In doing this I caused it to be chaffing on top instead of the bottom. When I took my time and assembled it correctly, the shafts rose perfectly and the BAXA is whisper quiet. Test drove the car tonight and it works great. Thank you for very helpful videos that enabled us to do this.

[@henryt9254]

Hiram, its a joy watching you work. No BS and none of that master mechanic attitude and mentality. You definitely show me how efficient you can rebuild a transmission based on knowledge and know-how. :>)

[@califorty1]

+Henry Ting... I second that statement. Hiram, your video is why I decided to rebuild the MAXA out of my 01 accord--my first automatic ever. You took all the mystery away and made it almost easy! Thanks so much, you were a Godsend!

Hi Hiram, I feel the same way as Henry. You are very knowledgable and have great attitude. I live in Houston area. I will certainly recommend your shop for any auto work and stop by if i have one. Thanks for your videos! You have a fan following :)

[@paxhumana2015]

So is it an automatic or manual transmission that you were rebuilding, sir?

[@TurboNFRStwoK]

Anyone thinking they can follow this step by step and do it let me tell you it’s not for the faint of heart. Just during disassembly parts fell out of the trans and it took me quite a while to figure out where they went. But I just finished rebuilding the B7XA out of my 2000 V6 accord coupe by following this video and with the same parts and shift kit. Trans shifts like a dream and I couldn’t be happier with it. Thank you sir for uploading this, I absolutely couldn’t have done it without you.

[@mmichaeldonavon]

You, sir, are "A GOD!!" :) Really, I have NO idea how you can take those xmissions apart, and reassemble them! None! In my 76 years, I've worked airplanes - I've worked a lot of things, but I NEVER came to the complexity that you exhibited! Your explanations were extremely clear - and I WATCHED the entire video. I couldn't believe you were doing what you were doing. :) So, let me say this: It was an absolute honor to watch you work - an absolute honor. Thanks. N-6395T p.s. just a question: Why did you not use a "X" pattern, when you torqued your bolts? Over the years, I've always seen the cross pattern used, to "pull the case halves" down together. Loved that torque wrench! :)

Yea I know a builder who used to work with aamco, he said that their tech training videos are very detailed, from start to finish, and how you would get 50-100$ for finding out fixes so aamco could put them in their monthly bulletins, but unfortunately I dont know anyone who works at one st the moment :(

[@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP]

***** They *used to* also teach how to put a handful of metal filings in the pan- to swindle unwary customers. Ever see the news show 20/20 back in the early 90's? They'd get a new crated trans, mark it on video- install in a vehicle- make it look "used" (dirty) and have a woman bring it into an Aamco shop. *BUSTED TWICE*.

You know your shit! This was the most thorough car video I have ever seen! I own a 98 accord 6cyl and got the flashing D4. I changed all the sensors, and did a complete new wiring harness. My next step is doing an overhaul. The codes are super vague, as mentioned at the beginning of the video. This helped a lot in getting me started on the project!

[@Lifesituations8000]

How did the project go?

[@DJDevon3]

Holy crap that's about as comprehensive as you could possibly ask for. Amazing job. Having audio only on the left channel the whole time is a bit annoying though. What program are you using to edit with? Maybe I can show you how to split, duplicate, and merge the audio channels to fix a missing channel. Then you'll never have a missing stereo channel again. Seems like it might be an issue with the microphone but it's actually fixable in most editing programs. You just copy the left channel to the right channel and it becomes mono in both speakers.

[@rouanybarrientos6029]

i watched this video many times and it helped me trough the process of rebuilding a bgra on a odyssey and i can forget when he says " if you mess something up on the valve body then you know you have to take it all the way apart" and i did i put the spring first on shift valve c for some reason i put every thing back together and installed it on the odyssey and guess what, weird and hard shifting skipping second with a big bump so i did take it all the way back apart to find this little spring miss placed but i learned the lesson now i pay close attention to valve body diagrams. hiram thanks for your videos you have helped me a lot on transmission rebuild so far i have done 2 4l60e 1 bgra and a 5r55s just with your videos an a lot of patience

I love this video. I don't even own a Honda and I've watched it (video) 4 times. Hiram ,you're the "MAN".

[@mikepeters4854]

Hiram, Thank you for your detailed and careful instructions. I have a Honda Odyssey 2000 (B7XA) 175,000 miles, and was having trouble with TCC code P0740, then I started having additional problems with shifting -- on and off. I added an in-line filter, and it cleared the problems for a while... Anyway, I decided to follow your directions and use the Sonax upgrade kit in addition to the full overhaul kit. The engine also developed an oil leak at the rear main seal, so that forced the issue of whether or not to remove the transmission. I had a few missteps along the way (1 - forgot one of the small filter screens in the valve body; 2 - pushed one of the shaft seals on too far; 3 - got the shift cable on the wrong side of the subframe; and probably some others...) Each required some dissassembly and reassembly. Anyway, I am delighted with the result. The transmission works better than when we bought the Odyssey. I have put about 6000 miles on the van, and even taken a few trips. It is great to have the vehicle again.

No it is not in the garage. I have a Automatic that has a very minor slip when it's cold most people would not even have noticed it.But my comment about the Tesla was made because if a manual is cheaper and easier to repair then a Tesla would be cheaper and no work.thats what it had to do with the video.

WOW HIRAM Your video is so explanatory. I have a great idea how an AT Trans works now. You took the time to explain and film to share with the world. You have done such a great job that will help thousands of people out there. Honda Accord 97 trans rebuilt at 120k now running at 195k no issues. Honda Oddy 01 trans rebuilt at 95k now running at 170 no issues. Although, I came here in search of a hissing noise in my Oddy...the noise is when park or running at low speed with out acceleration, once I press gas pedal, noise is gone, release gas pedal and noise is back. Went down where the trans and axles meet and seems like the noise comes from that specific place. Park, Neutral and even in Drive, but only when deceleration takes place, when Im about to stop. Any advise will help me and others, thanks again for sharing your wisdom and years of experience. ...and of course, subscribed, and liked.

[@andrewlee10]

Thank you so much for posting your videos. As a former Honda tech, we never got the opportunity to open these units up. I am currently working on a B7TA out of an 01 Odyssey, a vehicle I purchased for my wife. The unit appears to be a Honda reman unit with the painted blue bolts. The transmission had a lack of engagement issue. Sometimes you would get forward/ reverse movement. Other times it felt like it was in neutral. The fluid inside looked terrible, burnt and black. Although the clutches don't look too terrible, there is quite a bit of wear. The converter charge circuit was sticking, but I was able to remove it by lightly tapping it. It certainly wasn't moving as freely as the one you had in the video after polishing. I was wondering if you had the part number for the Sonnax update as well as what the specs are for the clutch end plate clearances? I've been looking all over online for a manual and I am having difficulty. Do you have any suggestions on parts and any updates I need to apply at this time besides the converter charge. Thanks again for all that you do. Guys like you help move our industry forward.

[@garyr7027]

Hiram, I've never rebuilt a transmission until a seen your videos. Thanks for all your help. My 4L80e transmission rebuilds are coming out great. Keep up the great work

[@ernadibric6133]

I know this obvious... but damn this guy knows wtf he talking about and then some. Holy Moly.. I have a Honda Pilot and I would kill to have someone as amazing as this work on the transmission. Guy is passionate about his work ... dying breed

[@geocube1898]

Hiram, you are missed. You are a transmission Genius.

[@LoiLoScope]

Hi, Sir, I run a 1998/06 HONDA Accord - now ~80,000 km. It works very fine, and I hope that the automatic transmission never may fail. I had to drop the whole car… - really. Thanks for your information.

[@sonichuizcool7445]

All those intricate fluid paths... My mind is blown.

[@zrulz]

Hiram, very well done sir! Thank you for your time and expertise. You are very knowledgeable and professional. You should be very proud of yourself. You are a true teacher. God Bless You!

[@vanilsonmateus4313]

This Video is motivating me to rebuild my gearbox, its completely clear. Many thanks for that.

[@61rdf]

These are great videos Hiram. Without your video I would've never tried this on my own. You should be paid for these. Thank you

[@CASTANEDA83]

Did you do your own rebuild? If so do care to share how it went. I have a mind to do it myself using this video. I live in Guatemala and mechanics here suck ass! Even at the dealer! They wanted to pull my whole trans and send it somewhere just for a flush! Lol. I need to rebuild my b7xa so if you did yours please let me know how it went.

[@61rdf]

Rod Castaneda yes sir I did. It was an 09 civic SPCA. Hiram's videos are very detailed and helped tremendously with my rebuild, however I would also recommend acquiring the service manual. because this was my first attempt at this I didn't want to video myself the first time out.

[@CASTANEDA83]

Thanks! I do have the service manual for my Accord, I will buy the rebuild kit and git er' done!

[@61rdf]

I didnt need to mess with the valve bodies much but the rest was not really too tough. I think the toughest part was getting the trans in and out of the car...

[@CASTANEDA83]

Thanks man! You've encouraged me to go thru with my plan to rebuild my b7xa, should be easier I guess since thats the one Hiram works on in this video.

[@mybestieischloer2401]

when it comes to rebuilding trannys,this guy dont whistle dixie.good job.

[@DowntownPowerAndSound]

I am very thankful for the videos. My customers, friends and family travel safely because you unselfishly share your passion and wisdom. I would be happy to contribute cash. Let me know how. Thanks from Vancouver, Canada!!!!!

[@mistabone3899]

As someone who rebuilds Honda D & B manual trans, NICE work!

[@anthonywendt5834]

I don't care what anyone says, this guy's good. Thanks bro.

[@galaxywide6760]

AWESOME video, thanks for making this! Saved me from probably killing my transmission, I didn't realize that the clutch plates were a different thickness for 3rd gear! Also a great reference for all the pieces that I have forgotten where they go...anyways, great video and thanks for explaining everything.

[@NormaPerez-tc1pw]

that's my problem, forget where they go all the time! funny!

[@williamlaurence4754]

Here is a man who knows what he doing. good job..

[@davidjoegamez5901]

Hiram gets an instant thumbs up when his videos start playing!

[@arthurutnehmer5574]

Glad this video exist as I would not have been able to complete the rebuild (for an Acura cl 1997) due to the pieces being similar. I overhauled and put my transmission together but it has an issue where I have to click the selector between 1 and 4 a few times to get it to engage. The car will eventually go into drive while doing this and it shifts fine afterward. Reverse does not work any more since rebuilding. When I put it into reverse, it seems to lock the wheels as it does not move. I can here the transmission engage into reverse. Also if the car is put into reverse or neutral while on a hill, the transmission locks up and will not move unless you shake the car in neutral to unlock it.

[@sioruiz]

Thank you for this video, it is what I was looking for to find out how to rebuild a Honda transmission; it really helps me. God bless you.

[@paulhance1984]

Did you rebuild it And how did it turn out?

[@ubergoober42]

holly spirit ! Thank you so much for very detail instruction.... I am going to watch and learn over over again....

[@dhalverson2895]

dear sir (hiram} just wanted to let you know that i was COMPLETLY SUCCESSFUL on my first transmission rebuild. Thank you so much; your a great teacher and truly a fine individual

[@MillerEngineeringInc]

Planning on doing mine soon.. great info... needed suppliers with quality products

[@grzegorzstylo5013]

Love your work man, this video opened my eyes and mind how sufisticated at trans are. I'm very glad you shared your hard work to all of us watching. So you say Honda made their trans theese years poor up shifting 1 to 2. Good to know that cause I just bought one and was worrying about this matter. You chilled me down man. Thx again

[@Whitehorze]

Excellent video Mr. Gutierrez. It shows why you bring a car to a professional.

[@bobbofly]

Love these honda auto transaxles - they're "simple in their complexity". Instead of having everything jammed onto 1 shaft & about a gazillion spring loaded checkballs & whatnot, you have multiple simpler shafts that you can rebuild 1 at a time after sorting out the valve-body, which is amazingly simple. Of course Hiram can dump it all in several piles & figure it all out. Guess when you've worked enough of em...

[@royrivas894]

what a great video, I just finished the rebuild of my B7XA and had success thanks to your video! Thanks again!

[@AutomaticTransmission]

+Roy Rivas Thanks for watching.

[@pablobrancato4916]

Congratulations Hiram. Your videos are very good. Im trying to learn about automatic transmissions and your videos are so helpful, is a lot easier to learn by this way than from a book. Greetings from Argentina

[@NeonAvantium]

Awesome video man, i very much appreciate the amazing tutorial. HEADS UP to anyone that tries this, if you put the reverse collar on the wrong way you will have no reverse or 4th gear and it will make what sounds like a grinding noise in park, reverse and neutral. also if you have idle problems after you get it all back together you will need to replace your IACV and clean your throttle body to make it stop surging from 1200 to 1800 rpm. also buy a good quality rebuild kit with as many parts as you can. i cheaped out and mine came with the wrong steels in it.

[@20havenfun08]

I've only rebuilt a few transmissions over the years... But sure enjoy watching your video's..... Better than that junk on TV:-) Thanks for taken the time and sharing....:-)

[@mialyons2252]

you the man Hiram, a true specialist, thanks for the walkthrough, have a 98 4cyl accord has shudder and slipping 1-2 with the thud, am going to attempt a rebuild as these videos gave me great confidence in rebuilding one...gonna try the superior rebuild kit like this one and gonna make sure valve bodies are clean as you shown. awesome job

[@scorpion22008]

What an honest, Helpful hard working man! thank you Hiram!

[@efthimios]
