Just changed 8th gen Auto Trans Filter Yes the automatics have an external trans filter as well, its about $27 from the dealer (part# 25430-PLR-003). I havent seen anything stating the intervals in which it should be replaced, but I figured for $27 it couldnt hurt, it looked pretty dirty to me (112k miles, original owner had a few trans fluid flush's done to keep it clean, in the stack of maintenance records). http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p...-54-13_106.jpg This seems like a universal fit part from honda as its used on: ACCORD 2D '03-06 ACCORD 2D '07 ACCORD 2D '08-11 ACCORD 4D '03-06 ACCORD 4D '07 ACCORD 4D '08-11 CIVIC 2D '01-04 CIVIC 2D '05 CIVIC 2D '06-'09 CIVIC 2D '10-11 CIVIC 4D '01-03 CIVIC 4D '04 CIVIC 4D '05 CIVIC 4D '06-08 CIVIC 4D '09 CIVIC 4D '10-11 CIVIC HYBRID '06-'11 CIVIC NGV '06-'11 CR-V '02-05 CR-V '06 CR-V '07-11 CR-Z '11 ELEMENT '03-06 ELEMENT '07-10 ELEMENT '11 FIT '07-08 FIT '09-11 (KA,KC,KX) INSIGHT '10-'11 ODYSSEY '11 |

The Trans filter is held on with a 10mm bolt and a 2 part clamp, 2 hose clamps must be removed as well as the 2 hoses connected to the filter, use some channel locks to twist the hose while it is still on the filter (to break them free, be careful that you dont chew up the hoses. The lower hose and hose clamp can be accessed from under the car also. |

Re: Just changed 8th gen Auto Trans Filter I had an argument with two dealership employees over the existence of this filter, I was right of course :lol: |

Re: Just changed 8th gen Auto Trans Filter Ubnpast.........................tyvm I sorta put the cart before the horse. I did a drain and fill LAST week...and...TODAY I got my external transmission filter delivered from Majestic auto parts. I was going to install that filter today and was hoping to hear that I didn't have to drain down the ATF fluid. I expect some mess......... Boy-o-boy, there is nothing to that little external filter. Consequently, I could see how it could get clogged so easily. I think I will open it up the old one and take a look inside,once I get it on the work bench. mattandchris; 2010 Civic LX; 30K miles |
