when you remove the transmission pan to change the fluid do you have to change the gasket or can you reuse it? if not then where could I get it quickly or do i have to go to a dealership?

 

Why would you remove the pan for trans change/flush?

 

there is no drain plug as far as i can remember( if im wrong tell me i havent been under the car since early november when i changed the oil.)

 

well after about an hour of searchin the internet i found another forum talking about this issue. http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/sh...?t=3047&page=2 they show pictures and tell you step by step how to change the fluid. LOL luckily i found this before i went in the morning to remove the whole tranny pan.

 

So I did the partial tranny fluid change with 3 qaurts. Really easy, easier than changin the oil cept that you need a 12" extension to remove the ATF filler cap hidden under the fuse box. Also loved the magnetic drain plug. I saw a little bit of metal shavings on the plug but not much. Anyways the car shifts perfect now.

 

Yeah, unlike most other auto-trans, Honda doesn't have a pan. Easy to change the ATF.
