Painting all the little brackets and subframe and stuff is so satisfying to watch. It's a small detail but really puts the cherry on top of this restoration
Eric this is lot of work end effort to do this kind of work. This doesn't happen in America anymore with older cars. True respect and amazement on how you get to do it.
I have owned two 2005 pilots. I picked up the second pilot a week ago. It has 160k miles. Motor and trans appear to be fine. The other owner has receipts for timing and valve adjustments last month. I do most of not all maintenance on my vehicles. This series is very helpful. I may try to tackle a trans once the old one dies. We will see. But first power steering hose tomorrow and serpbelt and tensioner. Gotta get it up to snuff for my wife. Today there is a P0430 code (wish me luck lol)
I'm absolutely loving this series of videos, they gave me so much insight on my pilot from temp sensor, speed sensor, motor mounts, thermostat housing, EVERYTHING!!! Thank You Soo Much ETCG!!... God Speed Sir!!!🙌🏼🥇
Don't get mad at the power steering hose. It just crying with joy because you didn't replace it....... LoL 😆 Merry Christmas 🎄 Bro. Tanks 4 all the Great information.
15:29 "You should be jealous of my cart, you should be very jealous!" 🤣😂 Yessir, I am! Work smart, not hard! Fabulous piece of engineering there, Eric! Being able to sit down on a stool thanks to the elevation of the cart and making a stable reassembly was about as good of a feeling, I'm sure, as it gets!
Eric, last year for Christmas my dad got me some of the double kneed Carhartt work pants and some foam inserts for the knees so the pants have built in knee pads. I got a set for my best friend who's a mechanic after experiencing how awesome it is to take a knee and have a knee pad. He it loving them. Protect your knees, none of us are getting younger. Merry Christmas!
Yes it was entertaining and always find your videos helpful even though I do not own any type of vehicles you work on. Apparently here in Mexico, mechanics and auto parts stores do not know nor carry silicone paste. I do plan to order one from Amazon, eventually.
Good stuff. I don't have a Pilot, nor do I plan to get one, but I catch every one of these vids because I like turning wrenches on the weekend and there's always something new to learn, no matter the badge on the car. Also, the Integra moved! I figured it was a 'perpetual project car' :).
It is amazing how you recall where everything goes.I would be spending more time drawing diagrams and taking pictures than getting things done. Hope your knees feel better. Did I mention you are awesome. Happy holidays and stay safe.greg from Brampton Ontario
Eric many thanks for so much education and entertainment....who knew. Been driving Honda vehicles for 36 years and on my second Pilot ('15 SE) which I just did the 105K works with timing belt, water pump, pulleys and spark plugs with many thanks to you and your master tech peers at RUclips U. Appreciate all the details and wish you an excellent 2022!!
Love what you've been doing on this channel lately, Eric. Do you see yourself doing more Honda restorations in the future? Love seeing old Hondas being brought back to life.
I'm getting a lot of positive feedback from it. I've actually been 'practicing' for when I do the Type R, but to be honest, I'm also enjoying this kind of work. I suppose that's a long way of saying, yes.
All those nice OEM Honda parts and then there's anchor motor mounts.... If Honda forums have taught me anything it's never cheese out on the mounts! I know they sponsored you and that's great, but please post the video of them wasted in the next year! You do great work Eric!
This was, in fact, very educational and informative. Thank you Eric for putting your time, dedication, effort, and passion into teaching us how to replace our own transmissions. 2nd gear in my 04 automatic TSX sometimes shifts hard. Solution? Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
Incorrect fluid is the most common cause of transmission issues with Hondas. Honda fluid only. Also, you need to check the fluid level with the engine off, not running. Overfilling the transmission is also a common cause of Honda transmission failure. Additional info here. www.ericthecarguy.com/solving-transmission-problems/ Merry Christmas!
@@ericthecarguy Hey Eric! I was trying to see the bottles that came with the new reman transmission. What fluid did the new transmission come with? Oem? I think those take DW1? Thanks for the content!
@@ericthecarguy Was it primarily these two reasons that you were replacing so many transmissions? One to two a day seems very excessive, particularly for Acura.
@@michaelskinner896 Most Honda trans fail = if its 4AT 2nd gear overheats and shreds clutch material= failure. If its a 5AT 3rd gear overheats. 2008ish + 5speeds were fixed as Honda reingineered the trans with stronger 4 shaft design (1998-2007 was a 3 shaft)
Hey Eric. I used the same brand engine mount when replacing the front one on my 2007 Pilot and it broke 3 months later. Swapped it out with a Honda part and it has been great since. Just my 2 cents from one Honda tech to another. Thank you for all your hard work. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Its a shame nowadays I rarely buy aftermarket parts because the quality is such shit. The only time I dont is if the parts are over the top expensive and I never go aftermarket for electronics. Just my 2 cents as well but agree with you gentlemen thanks.
I can see why you love the custom trolly, worth every penny 😀 The transmission will feel so smooth, just like new again. I hope you are having a smashing xmas 😀
I made the engine run just as good as you'll see in future episodes. I agree, it'll be almost like new. Except for the trashed interior which I will turn my attention to at some point. Always a pleasure to see you. I hope you and yours have a fantastic Christmas.
Amazing work. So immensely helpful. I will probably need to replace my 07 pilot transmission in a few years (2nd and 3rd gear clutches are on their way out) but I don't have a garage yet. When I do I'll definitely reference off of this.
This is great, thanks so much. I've got an 04 Pilot with a bad transmission, so I'll be attempting to remove/replace it next month. Just wish I had a lift. I'll be doing it in my driveway with the car on blocks.
You really have to love your job to accept going through so much 😅. Shout out to all mechanics out there, you the average joe's shield that protect us against constant rip off from stealership.
I just got done doing the heads on a 2007 Pilot, it had a blown head gasket, 221,000 miles. I purchased it from the original owner for cheap, not running. So far it's running good, but it looks like it never had the transmission fluid changed. I drained and refilled, keeping my fingers crossed. Magnetic plug was clean, fluid was black, but not gritty.
It's very uncommon for MLS gaskets to leak like that. The most common issue I see with Hondas is improper cooling system service. You have to bleed the coolant anytime you service the system otherwise the air pockets can cause issues. Also, only use Honda AFT. Thanks for the comment and good luck with the Pilot.
@@ericthecarguy Merry Christmas and happy holidays ETCG. There weren't any obvious signs of gasket failure upon disassembly. The machinist said the heads were in good shape, not cracked or badly warped. I tested both fans, and they are functioning properly. It was getting a lot of pressure into the cooling system , no mixing of coolant / oil. It did haver the wrong coolant (green). Inside / outside of radiator looks ok. The old stat opened slowly over a flame. I used Idemitsu type H ATF.
That ATF will work just fine. I believe they are the OE supplier. As for the overheat, air in the cooling system is the most common cause of that issue. www.ericthecarguy.com/what-to-do-when-your-engine-overheats/
Great job Eric! 🌲Merry Christmas🎅 Hey, I forget, so is this going to be YOUR vehicle? I can't wait til it's done! I wished u did Toyotas but I'm so intrigued. I STILL learn. U make it so easy & when u have the right equipment, it IS. THANKS!'
Also that Transmission rebuild company did really well like factory Honda. I like how they left the serial number tag plus they didn’t paint the outside with that ugly grey paint.
All hale the scrap yard seat belt! Every single time I'm at the scrap yard for automotive parts and/or project steel, I harvest as many yards of seat belt material as I can. Once home, I throw on the walking foot and upholstery thread for the old Singer sewing machine and make all kinds of loop ends for soft-tie dirt and street bike pickup truck bed tie-downs. I also fabricate loops for hanging extension cords, welding leads, air hoses, garden hoses, and anything else of similar length from garage and basement ceiling hooks. Once your brain becomes conditioned to see seat belt strapping as a tool, the sky is the limit to its usefulness.
And keep the hale going for used tires! Drill four holes in the sidewalls on each side for water drainage and use them as grocery caddies in the bed of a pickup truck -- keeps stuff from rolling around. Cut up in to squares, non-steel belted tires make great soft-jaw material for the vise to hold uneven stock or nonsymmetrical parts. Once again, start thinking of used tires as a resource and you'll be using the rubber everywhere! ruclips.net/video/rPChQwrWgfc/видео.html
This was a tremendous time suck as it was. Given that I'll be using this as a 'winter' vehicle, I didn't feel the need to go that far. Part of the reason I've been doing more Honda 'restoration' work, is to practice for when I do my Type R. I won't be putting rusty bolts on that. I'm considering getting one of those vibration cleaners to handle that work. Thanks for the comment.
Happy New Year Eric! That looks like an awful lot of parts to keep track of but you make it look simple. I can remember when I was a young man my brother and I fixed cars in my father’s garage to make extra money. He would always have bolts left over after he finished. When I would question him about them he would respond by saying “Those bolts aren’t needed anyway, the manufacturer always put in more then is needed”. Needless to say, his jobs usually came back🤬😊 Thanks for the info and the entertainment and yes I am jealous of your roll around!
Great video, would recommend looking into induction heaters for rusty fasteners, work amazing and are far safer for surrounding components, a bit pricey but 20000% worth it
when you have a particularly tight/sheared off bolt, if you can drill a small hole through the centre then stik weld a nut or pipe if recessed. Repeat procedure as necessary, Personally I've had great success. Good luck Peter
Broken bolt extraction... Iffin' you're gonna weld a nut to a broken bolt which is then going to be torqued to the welded joint limit, it helps to make that limit as high as possible. Clean the broken joint and preheat it well with the oxy torch and a slightly carbonizing flame. The resulting weld will then gain the most penetration possible.
I heard you say you were replacing 2-3 of these transmission a day? Good lord I am a fairly new technician still and hearing that blew my mind. I’ve watched you for a few years now and I just praise your work. Any advice for me from you just in general? Thanks a million for what you do, I aspire to be such a great technician and have leaned so much from you.
That was absolutely epic I wish it was that big of a piece of cake doing it on my CRV but alas it wasn’t it was a nightmare but I did not take the engine out of the CRV so it was a juggling match to get it tilted just enough to get the transmission back in without rubbing on the unibody or frame rails did get it in but I think I suffered a casualty of one of those hydraulic motor mounts and I get a nastyVibration at idle
Hi Eric, hopefully you can give me an insight on current issues on my 2006 Pilot EX fwd. I have current codes for all cylinder misfires, and P0740 TCC codes. Recently purchased this vehicle about 2 months ago at 150k. Still haven't hit 151k on it. Car ran fine when first purchased. As far as maintenance goes. I did a proper tune up, change the spark plugs (NGK), new coil packs (NGK), cleaned out EGR and replaced gasket as well. Cleaned throttle body,as well as intake manifold valleys, dis the relearned process for TB as well. Still have misfires in all cylinders. Clean out the two transmission linear solenoids along with the tubes with the little screens in them, replace the gaskets with OEM Honda ones. Also, relaxed the transmission oil (x2 so far) with OEM Honda transmission oil. I ended having the P0740 code after I treated the cruise control on the highway for about to miles. After I deactivated it and got home, I did a code check with my scanner and I have that fault code for the TCC. I'm stump Eric, this has put a halt on my out of state move unfortunately. Any help is most appreciated 👍
Painting all the little brackets and subframe and stuff is so satisfying to watch. It's a small detail but really puts the cherry on top of this restoration
This is your best videos since waaaaay back when you did the repair videos in that small garage.
Eric this is lot of work end effort to do this kind of work. This doesn't happen in America anymore with older cars. True respect and amazement on how you get to do it.

those are easy to do you don't even need to drop the whole subframe just tilt it down
Those are eazy peazy

All hale the scrap yard seat belt!
Every single time I'm at the scrap yard for automotive parts and/or project steel, I harvest as many yards of seat belt material as I can.
Once home, I throw on the walking foot and upholstery thread for the old Singer sewing machine and make all kinds of loop ends for soft-tie dirt and street bike pickup truck bed tie-downs. I also fabricate loops for hanging extension cords, welding leads, air hoses, garden hoses, and anything else of similar length from garage and basement ceiling hooks.
Once your brain becomes conditioned to see seat belt strapping as a tool, the sky is the limit to its usefulness.
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing that.
And keep the hale going for used tires!
Drill four holes in the sidewalls on each side for water drainage and use them as grocery caddies in the bed of a pickup truck -- keeps stuff from rolling around.
Cut up in to squares, non-steel belted tires make great soft-jaw material for the vise to hold uneven stock or nonsymmetrical parts.
Once again, start thinking of used tires as a resource and you'll be using the rubber everywhere!

Hey eric try welding flat washer to those kind of broken bolts then weld nut on top of it works way better.
Good call! I can definitely see how/why that'd hold better.
Hey Curt Manufacturing was started by a friend of mine son.

Broken bolt extraction...
Iffin' you're gonna weld a nut to a broken bolt which is then going to be torqued to the welded joint limit, it helps to make that limit as high as possible. Clean the broken joint and preheat it well with the oxy torch and a slightly carbonizing flame. The resulting weld will then gain the most penetration possible.
nice tip. I tried using Eric's metod with welder and nut and failed. But the bolt was nice and hot, so managed to unscrew it with vicegrips

Recently purchased this vehicle about 2 months ago at 150k. Still haven't hit 151k on it. Car ran fine when first purchased. As far as maintenance goes. I did a proper tune up, change the spark plugs (NGK), new coil packs (NGK), cleaned out EGR and replaced gasket as well. Cleaned throttle body,as well as intake manifold valleys, dis the relearned process for TB as well. Still have misfires in all cylinders. Clean out the two transmission linear solenoids along with the tubes with the little screens in them, replace the gaskets with OEM Honda ones. Also, relaxed the transmission oil (x2 so far) with OEM Honda transmission oil. I ended having the P0740 code after I treated the cruise control on the highway for about to miles. After I deactivated it and got home, I did a code check with my scanner and I have that fault code for the TCC. I'm stump Eric, this has put a halt on my out of state move unfortunately. Any help is most appreciated 👍
