I'm sorry deserthonda, I meant the procedure... it's as simple as pull the plug, drain, and then refill through the dipstick hole?

there is actually a bolt that you unscrew on the top of the tranny that is easier to fill the tranny with, but you can fill it through the dipstick. but yes it is just that easy. drain, then fill.....youll be all set

Also to make your life easier if you get one of those screw on caps that has a flexible hose that comes off it (like $2-$3 from an auto store) it will go over the top of your tranny fluid bottles and then you can pour it in without the mess.... if you're really impatient then after you start the fluid flowing (if you use that tube thing I was talking about...) then punch a hole in the bottom of it with a knife or something to allow more airflow.... (think beer bong principal...)

Would this be the same for a 2002 V6 Auto? Is it also true there is no filter?

mbo1895,
About how many quarts do you need to perfom the flush? 5, 6, more?

In regards to flush and fill-----I think the only way you can drain the converter is if it has a drain plug or at least American trannies are that way. If I am wrong about Honda then please let me know.

If the transmission has ever been replaced under warranty, or with a Honda reman tranny, it may have an external filter installed.

Does anyone know if Wix makes an inline filter to install in the line that goes to the radiator cooler? Might be a good way to filter out the wear particles of the bands, clutches, etc.

Honda torque converters dont have drain plugs. Hondas reccomended procedure for flushing is to: Drain and refill the fluid, run through the gears a couple times, and repeat 3 times. They dont reccomend power flushing.

you can easily install an outside filter if you like,,,,,,,,,Honda reman trannies  come with an external filter .....

Very easy to hook 1 up......  cut the return cooler line and istall the filter in the lines , make sure to have the flow of fluid going the proper way
