Watching you work on cars in this calm matter is soo relaxing. I can almost hear the car thanking you for this "car" massage.

I watched this video twice and I am having a disagreement with my dealer. He says my 2007 Honda Accord, LX 4cyl does not have a transmission filter, then I said it's an in-line filter, he said nope!! I said yes it does, both my sons said it does and now watching this I see it does, then my son showed me. I am taking the filter to show the dealers mechanic that there is a filter, here it is and this is where it is at, and I will have my son do the flush, they lost my business. I wanted to get it done professionally because my son's make their mother wait when it comes to my car. They work on everyone first because they pay. Anyway, I never thought my son would be smarter than a dealer mechanic, he is a mechanic and a better one. Now I have to go there and prove them wrong. I even called corporate headquarters to verify this and the only thing different they said was 2 1/2 quarts of fluid. But a dealer saying to me that there is no filter. Well now they are going to get embarrassed by a 60 year old woman that doesn't like someone playing stupid. Thanks for the video, you helped in this argument. My son said, he told me so.

i just followed this technique , the only thing i did different was going in the other hose of the transmission so I can flush the radiator too. Also the filter hoses are easy to remove with the filter still installed. just twist them a bit and they go out easy.

Followed this procedure on a 2008 Civic. It's a small pain to disconnect the line and pump out the old, nasty fluid in the torque converter (if you just remove the drain plug, - all you are doing is replacing half the trans fluid, effectively diluting the old fluid with new by 50%). A bigger pain to disconnect the airbox and related tubing to get to the external inline trans filter, but this is the complete service. Thanks for sharing your experience - and ignore the whiners.

Dealer wanted 86$ for that external trans filter.. So I went to Auto Zone 24$.. I just did a 3. 3. 3. Drain and fill... Down shift seems smooth now (gotta keep those clutches happy)

Hi and thanks for the video! You made it look easy. I will have to adopt your Zen like approach when I work on my wifes 06 Accord. Thanks again.

This guy is the Bob Ross of mechanic videos.

The filter and ur flush was good to see I think we missed it

I have a transmission question. I bought a used Honda Accord 2003 6 cylinder 2018. When I drive over a speed bump or make a right turn, my transmission hesitates or slips. It's more like it hesitates then it engages and I'm good to go. This only happens once in a while. The transmission sounds and feels healthy.

Im trying to buy a transmission filter at pepboys and they have two sizes for the filter one for 5/16 hose and 3/8 hose. Which is it for a 2003 honda accord 4door EX 4cyl???

So how does it shift? No complaints about your procedure, i do the exact same thing, but i do prefer to have the old ATF to drain into a pan after the transmission heat exchanger so that i know i got all the old fluid out of both the trans/torque converter/heat exchanger. Not a big deal if you do regular maintenance though which it looks like you do

So just did my trans the exact way you did and now I'm dealing with high idle issue only when it's in park, also it wont shift out of park now. I have to use the bypass button on the side of the shifter to go into reverse or drive. Other than that my car is shifting 100% better when driving. I only went for a little drive to test it. Before I did that I made sure to shift through the gears. You have any idea what's going on? I did some research and only thing I can think of is I added too much fluid but it is at the 2nd dot. Some people say it might be my idle control valve and that I should clean it out. I'd appreciate any help whatsoever. Appreciate it!

Do i have to play "hey there delailah" too?? While doing this?.. I had a different song.. Now im afraid i messed up the entire project

how important is doing the filter also? ive seen a bunch of other stuff where ppl just do drain and refill. im not having shifting issues, just wanted to do preventative maintenance

How much transmission fluid should be added back in after you replace the transmission ? Some folks are saying 7 quarts and some are saying 12

Yeah Honda oil is probably the best. Good video, but I have one more tip. Instead of taking off the facia to get at the hose to the rad, go to the other hose coming out and pull it off instead. It is in the open, easy to get at....I put a smaller hose inside it and directed that into my container.

I've always check AT fluid level with the engine running. Does Honda have a different procedure?

Finally someone else who does flushes on non CVT transmissions same as I do. I've been getting so much grief over the years from "licensed" mechanics screaming the return line is so important because its also lubricating parts. At idle, the left over fluid in the return line is more than enough. Only difference I would suggest is not to run it until the pressure line is spitting out air. I usually count to about 20 or 25 seconds each run so there's still a minor amount of fluid left in the pan. It'll take a little more fluid to flush out properly but at least its not running dry which I think is important in higher mileage transmissions. Then just measure each time after the 25 second run and fill that much back in with fresh fluid. Video was chill, well filmed and explained. Awesome job!

this video is soooo awesome... do you know multiple Honda Dealerships didn't even know about the bypass filter? after i showed them my car & the part.... and further research ... they confirmed it is a real part & shocked it had a filter. your vehicle video helped in more than one way.

what did you use the wd40 for? where is the best place to order atf for my accord? thx

Hey mate, will this work for the identical vehicle (RB1) but having the CVT transmission? I know I have to use the HCF-2 fluid, just wondering if running the engine to drain the fluid out may wreck the CVT internals. Cheers!!

Hey! Can yall do a vid on how to change a front wheel hub assembly on a 04-07?

You should do a video in replacing the EVAP canister for 2003-2007 Honda accord SE. not many videos about this vehicle when it comes to DIY. You are the only guy I go to because I have the exact same car as you. They are really fun to work with. 75% of my worked done on my car are from you. Keep this videos coming. Going to be doing my brakes & rotors next!!😊😊

I got a european Accord Tourer 2.4 vtec, 4 cilinders tho... It does not have transmision filter, does it? Only the V6 come with it.

Would this be the same to do on a 2007 Acura TSX??

The inlet and outlet line on my car is very brittle, does anyone know the part number for them?

I missed the part where you used that hose you showed in the beginning. I'll rewatch. Still, a very good video. Good job. Update: I did this flush and fill today. Here are the lessons I learned: 1. The 90 degree pliars are indespensible. You will need them on every clamp. The bend helps you reach all three components of the clamp. I bought a huge pair at HF for $4. Why? Because I tried this with a pair of normal pliars and an adjustable one. Neither worked. 2. The underbody plastic must be removed. I tried getting to the first clamp and couldn't get a grip. 3. WD-40 does help with the underbody plastic retainers. 4. The orientation of the filter is determined by the bracket. It has a half-circle slit on the steering wheel side. The filter as a lip that fits into this slit. A very good method that so should be followed very closely. Thank you.

Which line is in and which line is out? Trying to install transmission cooler

Gear oil limit can not understand clear, is it 1st point or 2nd point from bottom?

Would a dirty trans filter cause car to stutter when accelerating and trying to floor it ?

Anyone know if Beck/Arnley transmission fluid is safe to use instead of the Honda one?

Hello, I have 2006 honda accord v6. Do you have a video for change power steering pressure line replacement?

Are you supposed to check fluid level with engine off? I have a 2004 accord 2.4L.

Does anybody knows how much transmission oil should i put to a honda civic Si 2013?

How many quarts this transmission takes after flushing the engine

Great video, thanks man☺️🙂

Nice video! I also like how you were clean about everything. Didn't know honda used a trans filter until watching this. Hey just got a used 2010 Crv with the K24z6 engine and was wondering if its the same procedure as removing the driver side cooler line for the output, car has 75k miles, would you recommend a flush or a drain&fill, dont know if mine has a filter.

very helpful video, thank you Can you tell me is it same way to change tranmision oil on honda accord 2007 v6 engine?

Sir, Do we have to change inline transmission FILTER & transmission (bottom)plug washer ?

Was the hose 3/8 or 5/16?

Many thanks for the video.I did the flush as per your video without taking out the drain plug because my 8th gen accord has a cover over it and it very difficult to take it out. my question is, would it be ok not to clean the magnet of the plug? This is the first time it has been flush since i bought new. Thanks again and keep up the good job.

Isnt there 2 filters one internal filter that you have to buy kit for?

Same process for a six cylinder car?

Its not a good idea to run the trani dry. Its best to refill all u drained then remove the hose and drain a measured quart and replace that quart. Repeat this process untill clear fluid starts to come

I have honda accord 2006(V6). should I use fill plug(manual suggestion) or the dipstick hole to fill the txm fluid? Thank you

If your k20 or k24 have a whining sound from your auto transmission flush your transmission 3 times and change your ATF filter noise will reduce BiG time! Trust me just did mine recently

Can I do this on a 2000 accord v6. Do I need to drain the drain plug? Or all the fluid will come out the fill line

Hey man appreciate your videos , I have a question if a transmission’s fluid has never been changed 2003 accord 83k should i just drain and refill or tranny flush like in this video ?

Thank you so much for your response.

thanks for your time bro :-) :-)

I have a question got a 04 honda accord 4 cylinder and i don’t know if the previous owner changed the trans fluid or not but i checked and it appears to be dark in color and when cold started when driving it seems to feel like neutral and my dash the D blinks what could it be any advice?

Does the V6 engine also have an inline filter like that, or is it in the pan? I can't seem to find much information on it anywhere online.

How often does filter need to be changed.

Tienes un video para hacer esto en un acuerdo 1997, ex, 2.2, 4 cilindros, te agradezco

Will it be ok to be in the middle between the dots on the dipstick when cold? Or should I try aim for 3/4th or top of the dot on the dipstick?

Always drain and refill never Flush your tranny I was told by professional Import Transmission Specialist, due to older models can have metal particles in it and they can get everywhere I also put two small magnets on drain plug to help catch metal particles. Great video keep going👍🏼

Hi does it work on 2009 4cyl accord? found another video he uses extra hose to connect it to the cooling line.

eh man FIRST OFF, BIG THANK YOU.... yeah this car is driving me crazy still dealing with idle issue after factory reset, battery unplugged, ECU fuze pulled. no power, shaking on Drive gear, changing transmission fluid now and checking trans. sensor. see how it goes

Hey nutz im tom i have a 06 honda accord bought it used about 3 months ago with 99k i got about 106k on it now and i never changed ATF before and ive always been leary about changing mine if you could please give me some tips and advice i did add lube gard and dr tranny as a top off because it was shifting roughly before and now it will sometimes once in a while if im beatin the hell out of it, it wont shift into 4th gear so idk if having it over filled would cause it to act up here and there and could i just do the drain and refill 3 times?? I know honda recommends doing it that way but you if you can get back 2 me bro any advice would help thanks homie! Your video is awesome!

Does this apply to the 2003-2007 accord with manual transmission. I have a manual

Can this same process be done on a Acura TL 2006 or do you have any video on a Acura Tl 2006?

I thought you should always check the transmission fluid level when running and warmed up?

Since you only had to add 3 qts I'm assuming this only removed the fluid from the pan. If this is the case, why not just remove the drain plug? Not sure what I'm missing. What's the benefit here?

Thanks for your video!

What is the right oil level. Don’t show???

Does this remove the fluid from the torque converter as well, please?

Well done! Thanks.

For 2009 Accord is almost the same.Let me ask u something,the supply line for the cooler is the line it comes from the filter?

I have 2007 Hoda Accord. if I start the car in the morning and I engage the transmission it will delay for some seconds before it will engage. Secondly, if the transmission is engaged and the car starts moving, the transmission between gear 1 and 2 engages forcefully with a sound that will shake the car. Thereafter the transmission will become smooth when the engine becomes hot. if the car is parked for up to six hours, same problem will start again. What do do you advice?

can I simply do a drain and refill with the filter? or do i have to flush to use the filter?

Going from memory, when you do a trans oil change it's around 2.9litres, but when you do a flush, getting ALL the oil out, it's about double that, around 6 or so litres? I only saw you put 3 quarts in there? Or did I miss something?

I have a 2008 Accord with 75k miles. Can I just remove the drain plug? Isn't it 9 qts for the flush?

Can you change the transmission filter without draining the fluid i drain and filled my transmission last week but didnt put a new filter

Great job, thanks for step by step. Alright here we go on my 2006 Odyssey :)

My honda doesnt have that hose. i have the 2003 EX sedan model with the V6 3.0 does my transmission not have an external cooler???

will this video work with the acura tsx 2004 also it looks if is the same egine

IS IT SAME procedure FOR HONDA ACCORD 2005 (4cylinder automatic) US MODEL

Thanks for the video. Question: So the trans doesn't have a drain plug? Or are you choosing to do it this way?

Do I need to have the car on until all the fluid comes out...or just for a few seconds?

how much qts was it in total for the flush?

What size is that funnel?

Does the Honda 2004 accord 4cyl have a transmission filter ?

Is this procedure similar for the V6?

Shouldn't you pipe off from radiator?

would you mind tell me what is the atf filter part number? thank you

I lived a dilemma of orientations, so I drained the fluid inside a container with a meter, and found the measure of 3.5L, strange? OK? So I decided to put 3L initially and do the level check. So, by surprise, everything was OK ... the Honda distributor instructed me to put 2.8L ... I put 3L. Good luck guys. thanks! directly from Brazil ... honda accord 2.0 2007 125K

Question. My transmission fluid is pretty old and black. Should i just do a drain or an actual flush? Worried about f**king up the transmission.

good video thanks for making it!!!

What was the total quarts that came out before you started to see fresh fluid?

Thank you for making such a useful and informative DIY video. I'm new at this but very handy and already did my motor mounts and valve cover gasket. Honda's prices can light a fire under your butt to DIY. But my question is, can I do both the hose and drain plug method to ensure its all out? And if so, which one do I do first? I plan on doing this tomorrow morning (Sunday 3rd) So if you don't respond in time its cool. i'm just trying my luck here. Thank you and what you're doing here on your channel is truly helpful and some, if not the best DIY clips on KZfaq. Crisp video positioning, video quality and crisp audio. Keep doing what your doing here. Much Props!

Hey guys, the Honda V6 does have a transmission filter. It's located on top of the transmission below the battery case. It's a pain though to change especially if you haven't done it before but well worth it. I changed mine and it looks dirty and grayish from the metal shavings. Most people including most Honda technicians and Honda customer support don't know it even exists because Honda doesn't say anything about it in their service manual, I wonder why. Honda said it supposed to last for the life of the transmission, really? I don't believe that BS. Honda should at least recommend it changed at 60k or 105k at the most.

why do u flush oil from hose and not the drain bolt?

My Honda 2006 makes a weird jeck whenever I try to select it , what could be the cause ?

DO HAVE VIDEO ON HONDA ACCORD 2003-2007 (2.4/4 CYL.)SOLENOID GASKET CHANGE

IS IT TRUE THAT IF YOU DIDN'T CHANGE (ACCORD 2005) TRANSMISSION FLUID FOR LONG TIME (5yrs. or more) and if you change it - chances are to damage transmission?? CAN YOU EXPLAIN IT PLEASE?

any chance the wd 40 you sprayed to make it easier for the tubes to come loose get mixed with the inflow of transmission fluid and cause damage? that's what I am afraid of...

another great vid, question I have a 95 accord v6 should the fluid level be at the full mark, or in between the two dots on the dipstick after the car has warmed up? thanks

NutsAndBolts, do you need to prime the new filter so you would not have an airlock?

How match litre huile need ?! Tanx

wonderful video.
