2003-2007 Honda Accord Transmission drain and refill 

That’s exactly how you’re supposed to do it, he didn’t do it right smh.

+james aighewi We CAN'T find the external tranny filter...took the battery compartment out... not seeing it...

+Jasmine Goeders Hi Jasmine, I meant to say the air filter box. It's right underneath the air filter box on top of the transmission , you can't miss it. If you remove the air filter box, you will then have access to it. There will be 3 long bolts and one banjo bolt holding the case. let me know if you find it. Remember that it's the v6 model.

was for my medic class, but I have gone a different path with my career :)

probably just the valve clicking, but its normal.

I have a similar year, probably you need a valve adjustment. When people neglect a valve adjustment certain valves get too tight and you will burn them. Ironically it is common for people engines to get louder after a valve adjustment. It's better to have loud loose valves then tight valves because you will burn them. Check to see if you got a valve adjustment on your previous maintenance schedule, I'm guessing you did not.

add 3 quarts, then top off as needed.

THnaks for the advice !!

Amit limbaskar same I had to put 4 quarts back as well not a problem

vitezism fluid checks are done while running, owners manual will say it along with technicians and most Internet results. It's best to do it running after a drive to get an accurate level and quality measure. I worked in Honda service for awhile and I know we checked it while running.

Well I'm about to do this in my own accord 2005,and the manual says to check the fluid with the engine off after the fluid is at working temperature

Nataliya Balahura yes, add 0.5 quarts in, the vehicle takes 3.5 quarts. Recheck after putting in 0.5, if it needs more, just add a little more.

take what off?

He is probably talking about the drain plug

its on the driver side, you want to replace the filter when changing the fluids. It's a cheap part.

@@NutzAboutBolts for the V6 the filter is hard to get to isn't it?

yup, thought we explained it, if not, then you're correct.

the V6 has a different opening hole, so you might have to use a smaller hose and try to rig it to make it fit with a funnel.

+Dru Talero not much, since you've replaced the old fluid. Just make sure the fluid are in the right full mark.

+NutzAboutBolts thanks for the quick response! 😀

Dru Talero :) we do our best to respond.

Follow the description box

Get the cel code, refill your fluids and Google the code to see what's the problem.

Thank you so much...Appreciate your quick response.

md irfan same here

+Faith Beaven lol you can have it if you want.

Hey! I have that book!

+Mary Hutchins low fluids can cause the vehicle not to go forward or backwards, you should check on that. If you have a manual transmission, check your clutch.

A couple things could be the culprit low or no fluid ,bad torque converter, blown transmission or even bad gear solenoids

Dude...check you engine oil too, ....sounds like it's very low...........

+Tan Pham it´s inside the transmission

Tan Pham Yes there is its on the driver side of the engine. PartNumber is 25430-PLR-003

there is an external transmission filter, its on the driver side.

+Juan Fuentes engine sounds great, haven't had any trouble with it yet, its at 110k miles :)

+Juan Fuentes That's just how these K24s sound. They're solid lifter engines. Sometimes they're louder than normal if they need a valve lash adjustment, but they're never quiet.

Juan Fuentes

d jones if it was my car, I would do it, it's like this, "damn if you do and damn if you don't", I rather be damn if I do because then I know I did something than did nothing.

+d jones I changed fluid from "who knows what the previous owner thought was right" (probably Dexron III type "USA USA USA" fluid...) it was horrible looking and red - over to DW1 directly, two drain/refills with a bit of driving between, and it works better than I've ever known a auto-trans to work. 1995 Odyssey original trans no rebuilds 260K not well cared for before it got to me (new rack due to "USA USA USA" steering fluid anyone?)

+Policia1942 go to our transmission complete flush video, we showed where it is and how to remove it.

+Mariana Sanchez It's called a Long neck transmission filler funnel. I got them at an auto store.

I bought a long funnel and used a lighter to melt the plastic a bit and stretched the tip and also made it skinnier to be able to fit the hole I use it on all honda auto transmissions

+ghost Ghost low fluids will cause the transmission to not shift into gears. Was the fluid low?

Junjun jr. Llauderes I have a 2007 also and it has 58k on it. I was thinking about changing the ATF myself as well. I think you don't need to change the filter.

actually my wife has a 2007 Honda Accord too...she have the transmission oil Change at Honda and the service only changed the oil not the filter,,,I've ask a technician he said that 2007 accord has no filter on it that's why only oil change is needed,,,I've read the manual and it recommends oil change only I've not seen filter to be change as well...

we refill it on top where the dip stick is at. If its a manual transmission, you will have a fill hole and a drain hole on the bottom. Ours an automatic transmission.

You can, we did a video on the complete flush of the system.

+Tim Kwok (Deviatorz) We got ours at the dealership, its pretty expensive and we haven't used one at home depot... Just make sure to get the right size for it.

Unless the old washer really mushroomed I just reuse the old one. Mine has not leaked with the old reused washer. Five dollars for a washer is too much. NutzAboutBolts, thank you for all your videos. You did a fantastic job man....I can eat off your car; it is so clean.

@@trankt54155 $5 is CHEAP insurance that might save your tranny one day!

Anne Martinez buy a new one?

Get someone to weld a bolt the the stripped head and take it off but be sure to clean the area and head of the bolt really really good because transmission fluid is flammable

Get new one. Drill and tap other out

When we did this maintenance in this video, it was 60k miles. It currently has 130k, and running strong.

Ok, then it is just Honda thing.

What year is it? I have an 04 DX with 133K, and been using your videos to do so much maintenance. Thanks so much

I would every time I change the fluids.

2,7 לטר

Brittany Hudson add 3 qts and top off as needed, 4 might be too much...

there should be a drain plug. if there wasn't, not sure how they would drain it.

619 Stoner get a new mechanic. Yes they are all serviceable

@@NutzAboutBolts itty

unebonnevie put in 3 quarts first, then put it on leveled ground and recheck and top off as needed. Not sure where we said 2.5 quarts, but put in 3 quarts first and re-check. :)

+unebonnevie 2.5 quarts is what Honda claims. I think they want you to be around the low mark so you can get to level ground and warm up and then top off more exactly. Going 3 or 3.1 right away could end up a touch over.

...also each draining could vary in volume depending on how level it's jacked/ramped. You'd get more out if you tilted the drain side lower (jack up the driver side). But not a ton more, within the 0.6qt that 2.5 provides.

Spudz76 We recommend putting only enough so you can run the engine and let it circulate around the system. Then after it warms up, re-check and top off. Just like you're doing an oil change.

nah, its just a noisy engine lol.

+NutzAboutBolts at 0:20 you can see the hole lol

honda doesn't make z-1 anymore. dw1is the replacement they recommend and sell.

@@tinamoney1 ty

koz3 yes

+koz3 Some idiots swear it has to be running but that is only for other transmissions that will let the torque converter and valve body drain back out if the pump isn't running (which means the engine has to be at least idling). Honda transmissions don't drainback like that, at least if they do it's +-1oz or whatever it's not worth reaching down there with it running - the dipstick OK range is like 4-8oz. Some transmissions don't even pump when running in Park or Neutral and those should be checked with it idling, in drive, on parking brake. Some don't pump in Park but do in Neutral (like older Mopars) so those can be checked running in Neutral (but not Park!). So to simplify most "pro mechanics" will just say every trans needs to be checked running, and some (older) cars need to be also in Neutral or Drive. Very untrue on Hondas. As long as it's warm (normal driving temp) and absolutely level and you recently shut it down, the trans will show the same level as if it were running in gear and all that jazz, and you'll be safe from the fans/belts/etc.

+ghost Ghost wow must of been a long time since the fluids been changed, I would do this and see if it changes.

+ghost Ghost also I would recommend a flush and changing out the transmission filter, we did a video on that as well.

+ghost Ghost the fluids full but smell like its burnt? Any check engine light?

unebonnevie Don't really hear any funny noise, lol. It's running strong still :)

Yea my shit whisper quiet.. sup with your valves??

@@NutzAboutBolts valves need to be adjusted replace valve cover gasket spark plugs grommets at the same time . Easy !

Needs valves adjusted

29 ft. lbs. with a 3/8 torque wrench.

go with 29lb, either or, its still safe.

+NutzAboutBolts thank you video helped alot

I'm glad we could help :)

its not lol
