'02 Civic Automatic Transmission Fluid Change

Does anyone have the directions for changing the fluid in an auto trans? I was told at a local shop that you have to pump out the fluid. Doesn't Honda put a filter in these things?? Thanks for any help. I'm ordering a service manual but haven't received it yet.

Make sure you use Honda trans. fluid (Honda said you have to use Honda tranny fluid ). I brought the fluid from Honda and had a lube shop change it. Honda said 3 Qts. I think.

NO, unless you like dismanteling the tranny.

the filter is on the drain bolt.. it's a magnet. be sure to clean off all the metal shavings on it.

Its just a bolt that uses a 3/4 drive socket wrench on the side of the tranny. It is a simple task
