transmission filter

[newcomeraccord]

are you guys sure we don't have a trans filter because at advanced auto parts they have one for our cars.

[PRIMOCB7]

..only automatic trannies have filters

[newcomeraccord]

how do u change it?

[accordztech]

u dont its a screen....only when ur tranny goes down.

u can't change the filter on our auto tranny. u hae to take it off then open it up and do that shit. they call it an internal filter or whatever.

i have a fucked up tranny in my basement. i will open to see how the filter on that bitch is.

Don't worry about the filter, just change your automatic or manual trans. oils/fluids when you're supposed to (~ 30,000 miles ) and you'll be fine.

Automatic:

Dexron/Mercon III ATF ( I use Valvoline)


Manual:

10W-40 motor oil (I used Valvoline for this as well) or Pennzoil Synchromesh (haven't tried it, but heard good things from many people).


Note: In doing what I stated above, I've had no issues with trannies in both our 90 EX (manual) and 91 SE Accords (auto).

i change mine everyy 12 to 15k.

due to the fact that it shifts differnt aroun there...its cheap and fun =)

well i work as a pizza driver so ichange the tranny fluid every 10k and engine oil every 2k.

yo is it a problem if u change the tranny fluid that often????

[phatdoughnut]

Its been proven for motor oil, if you go on long drives all the time(freeway miles), that you can do oil changes ever 4.5k miles

and if you do alot of intown driving you should change it every 2k miles....

as far as the tranny fluid... ihave no idea.. 10k sounds good to me

The Haynes manual intervals are 3K for motor oil and 30k for ATF, and the official Honda intervals are longer. So 10-15k for ATF is a little over doing it for normal driving.
