I have a 2004 Honda Accord. That's what I'm demonstrating on here. This may be relevant for many other 2.4 L Honda engines. Complete a poll here to improve this channel: / getitdoneprojects
I got up this morning filled with positive thoughts on changing my fluids in my 2007 accord-310k miles. Luckily i saw your video. I am going to Valvoline shop!
thank you for this video, been driving my 2004 5speed for over 6 yrs w/o knowing it uses transmission fluid, but about a month ago, it shut off on the way home late one night, and has been with my mechanic for about 2 weeks. he got it strate, and I should have it back this wknd. ..and now I now how to do the transmission fluid I never knew it needed!
Just so you all know I saw this video and struggled to take the screw off to fill and then pump just to find out it has one on the top of the transmission super easy to take off and you don’t have to pump anything.
Thanks for the video. It helped a lot. The only thing I'd add is I was able to get a long ratcheting wrench with a flex head on the fill bolt. I reached in from the front of the car and got the wrench on the fill bolt.
You could have used a gas siphon. That's what I use. The thicker the tubing the better. It's thick fluid so the construction needs to be sturdy enough to handle the pumping as well. I did it with a cheap $15-$20 one from home depot. Works just like your method except you are pumping it by hand right out of the bottle. Much faster I think
Thank-you Sir. I did just this a couple days ago when changing my manual fluid. I used a yard stick and tube then an old marine gear oil bottle to insert the oil though the tube. 19 years and 362,000kms and it actually looked pretty good with very few filings. Good for another 19 years?
Not on manual transmission. Automatics have one but usually on Hondas they require transmission disassembly. Majority of times a drain and fill would be your best bet.
I believe it's just the end of at 3/8" rachet. The part you would put a socket on goes into the end of the plug and then you spin it free just like you would any other bolt.
I tried to drain nd refill the transmission fluid today the same way you did making the car on even level with the tyres removed but I was able to fill only 1.9 liters of gear fluid, but my car mechanic was able to fill 2.5 liters, i drained the oil to check I got exactly 2.5 liters from the transmission, but unable to fill the same amount...dont know what myth is here scratching my head to find out any solution.
My accord has 180k miles I dont think the manual transmission fluis was ever changed. Is ok to change it or will be better to leave it alone. Im afraid I will damage the transmission by changing it
@@GetItDoneProjects it has a new clutch and hydraulic clutch cylinder, no slave cylinder problems. What it’s doing is it’s sometimes hard to shift into 1st, I use to have a problem with getting it out of reverse, now when I put in reverse I get no engagement, just goes back to neutral and forth gear is like that too, so I have to skip 4th gear entirely and shift from 3rd to 5th if I’m on the highway. So basically, it’s sometimes hard to shift into 1st and no 4th and reverse gears.
@@jogmas12 I thought I had a cylinder or clutch problem and it turned out to be neither. There is a bracket under the dash that holds the clutch pedal. It cracks over time and when you depress the clutch, the bracket flexes and this causes the rod to travel less for the clutch cylinder. Sometimes there was a bit of a creaking noise too, but not repeatable. Bought a new bracket for $135 from the dealer and installed it myself in 20 minutes. Working great.
