Hello everyone,

I'm a bit of a newbie, but am planning on doing a Transmission flush this weekend on my 2006 Honda Civic EX. I looked under the car and the drain plug is pretty rusty from some years the car had up north on salty winter roads. So, I thought it'd be a good idea to change the drain plug during the ATF flush, however, I can't seem to find the part online that would for sure fit the car. I believe it's # 9 on the link below, but cannot confirm:

Does anyone know if I can buy a magnetic one in Amazon that will fit? I'm looking at this, but again, cannot confirm if they'd be a fit:


Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Majestic: Yes the drainplug is #9. You will want the washer #11 that goes with it.

Your link to Amazon is not a trans plug. Wrong-O.

I have never had any problem with these no matter how bad they looked, except for this one time when a rookie boogered up the square and split the side out because he didn't have the end of his ratchet all the way inserted into the hole.

I use a 2 foot long breaker bar and a real short 3/8" extension to break the plug loose. (It's easier for me to replace the extension if it breaks than a ratchet or breaker bar.)

If the square hole in the drainplug is full of rust, soak it in PB Blaster/Penetrating oil of some sort. Scrape it out with a screwdriver. Hammer the square extension into the hole if you have to, make sure it isn't only halfway in.

Make sure you use Hondas ATF DW-1 fluid. You will need a bit less than 3 quarts for a single drain and fill.
