Re: How not to DIY - ATF Flush

It works great I have done it on both of my Hondas . This is a real fluid change. The other one is just diluting the ATF. Just make sure you always have a fluid in the transmission.

Has anyone else seen this video? The car in the video just happens to be one of ours in the 7th gen world... I think..

I just wanted to see if I could get a confirmation of accuracy.

I need to change my fluid in my 05. I'm at 40k and the shifts are not where they should be at this point. I know these cars have auto trans issues..

I've never had any good experiences with ATF...

Seems to be add or remove ANYTHING and no more shifting.

Is this a safe procedure given in the video?

Thanks in advance,
Rocco

Yeahhhh buddy! Some driveway jokester thought it was cute to change the name of the thread but this method works the best- especially for these vehicles.
This is the only way I'll do it anymore and highly recommend it for the 01-05 civics.

Sooo it's been a couple years, any follow up? Everything still shifting smoothly?

The civ has been running great. Shifts great at all RPM and speeds, with or without AC on. This car hasn't let me down yet.

The little artifacts during shifting intervals cleared up after the change and had completely forgotten about the problem until I received the notification email
about this post.
