Nunca hay que quedarse con la opinión de los fabricantes, nosotros los mecánicos resolvemos problemas que el fabricante ni se entera, gracias por compartir tu situación sobre la honda odissey.
Thank you for the video. I just changed mine (2005) at 260,000 miles and the filter was dirty but wasn't falling apart. I tried to pull it apart and it wouldn't come apart. but it was filthy. Well, I was watching it again and realized that I did not place the washer back on the hose. Dang it. Oh, well. I needed more to do anyway right!
Ohhhh I've done that and had to go put a part back...that can ruin the accomplished feeling in a quick hurry lol. Thanks for watching and hope it helped!
I watched the video, and read a lot of the comments. Here's my take. I bought an 06 Odyssey. Was supposedly went through by a reputable mechanic that the dealer always uses. I was satisfied with the van for about 30 minutes, then started the first issue. The van had 150,000 and some change miles on it. Maybe there was a learning curve in the 05 and 06's, but I have not been pleased with mine. I enjoyed the video, keep up the good work. Also, the guy that tried to take you through the coals should make a video for beginner Honda owners so they know every step of the service process. You know because every soccer mom is a certified Honda mechanic 😂
Thanks for the comment and support! Yeah I'm still split on the while thing, there is no such thing as a perfect vehicle, not in my budget anyway lol, and every one of them has their issues. Another thing I learned about the odyssey is that it is to wide to fit on a car dolly. When the transmission gave up I was three hours from home. Was going to go home and grab the truck and rent a dolly...but the odyssey was to wide haha!
Here is a tip. The first place these start to slip is the torque converter clutch. What makes it worse is when the clutch is engaged the cooling flow through the converter stops. If the clutch holds all is well. If the clutch slips the converter will over heat and soon it will boil out the fluid, and then the system pressure will go down and the main clutches will start to slip and soon you have a trashed trans. HOWEVER, if you catch this early (notice the converter clutch is slipping or the first signs of fluid ejection) you do the following you can get many more miles out of the trans. 1) disconnect the electrical connector to the lock up solenoid, 2) install a 28 ohm 10 Watt resistor to the connector ( the wires side - this tricks the ECM from knowing it's disconnected) 3) add an external trans cooler in series with the radiator one. ( cheap one is fine - as the lack of lock up will produce more heat) 4) change the trans filter. ( the TCC failure creates a lot particles that clog the filter. ) The van will drive fine and the gas millage will be a bit lower. Do not do any serious towing (or install a trans oil temp gauge and watch it)
@@AGuyandHisProjects In looking a bit further I found the filter is on the return line not on the pump pick up line. Replacing it may help clean up the fluid but sadly if there is enough trash to clog the internal pump pick up "filter" (actually a screen) changing the return filter won't help. Sad they didn't leave a way to at least blow if off while in the car. -Even if they had left a fitting into the pump pick up tube above the filter, one could blow it out with an air gun. My son had an Accord where the trans quit pulling some miles away from the house. I went to pick it up with a car dolly. It would not even move itself to the dolly. When I got home I started it and it pulled fine - drove it around for a number of miles. I think the jostling drive with no flow let some of the trash fall away from the screen. It might have been possible to drain the unit after aggressive jostling ( pull it down a dry creek bed. or find a pot holed street ;-) and get enough out to do get a few more weeks or months out of it but I sold it as is.
Thanks for watching! Yeah I don't understand, but some manufacturers also consider their fluid lifelong as well. I disagree with most lifelong statement lol
I bought a Honda Odyssey 2006 . I had error code E 0741, replaced the solenoid which was not working and the error came back . Replaced the trany oil filter rand the car is running very, very smooth. No error code and the tranny is changing nice and smooth. replacing the tranny oil filter is a must if you care about your money !!!Thanks for uploading.
I'm currently dealing with a P0741. I think I'm going to change the filter. I already replaced the tcc solenoid and pressure control solenoid and it started acting up again after 900 miles.
It is very important you told us the Odyssey Transmission fail at the end of this video. My friend's Odyssey transmission screw up too. My friend bought that Odyssey brand new from Honda dealer. Looks like it is a fact that Honda Odyssey really a Bad deal.
Thanks for watching! I don't know that they are all bad, and I bought that van with it already having some transmission issues. I do know that that experience made me not like Honda so much that hahaha!
Yeah have a 2006 Honda Odyssey and I feel the need to change this. I just bought four quarts of fluid so I can change It Out by itself. Now I need a filter
@@MichaelLee-yh7ss you know what you're right about that. I do it a little bit at a time that way the fluid maintains and should be just fine. But I heard if you changed it all out at one time it starts slipping.
My friend you may have just saved me from pulling more of my hair out! 2006 Odyssey Touring Edition. 255k. I'm her 2nd owner... first kept her up meticulously. For 4 month, I've been experiencing shifting issues... only after maybe an hour of driving. First the long delay into reverse from park... then two stepping 2nd to 3rd... eventually all gears slip and bang. Changed all solenoids... Linears with pressure valves as well as the (4) single A's and B's.... flushed fluid as it appeared burnt. No unusual debris. Still same shifting issues after she warms up. Usually at least an hour of operation. Keep in mind she shifts seamlessly for an hour before issues start. One mechanic warned me the transmission is trash. Another mentioned the solenoids. I've taken this into my own hands to save her. Thinking this filter may be at least part of the problem... if not all of it. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the comment! If you are already experiencing issues then my vote is to go ahead and change that filter. If it is on the way out already it isn't like you are going to hurt it much more
Exactly this filter work only for your transmission cooler using trans. Oil . Ading nice transmission cooler is big improvement more oil less heat for small transmission. . Your main trans. filter is inside transmission only repleacible when you rebuilt trans. Great work! Only good mainteining is the key. Drain every 12K. Or? Depends on driving. Now pass 340k no problem. Good luck
Yep if its replaceable I say replace it that's the exact reason why I'm here because I'm getting ready to do mine and a whole bunch of other things. Excellent video by the way❤❤
Well I finally got this done in my vehicle and it made a one hell of a difference. It doesn't jiggle or shudder no more at about 40 miles an hour so yeah good deal❤
Good video, I liked it. Mu 06 odyssey trans filter at 250,00 miles is probably very bad too, but car still running. Did a lot of work on many other parts changes too. Hope transmission keeps runing, but I agree about the trans filter change. Thanks.
You are welcome and glad I can help! I really pride myself in keeping up with ALL the regular maintenance on vehicles. So when I buy one that has been neglected it always hurts lol. I wish all fluids had replaceable filters within reason.
Great video. Ty for all the details A Guy and His Projects. I’ve watched my share of transmission filter change videos & ur vid is very well explained.
Thanks for making this video. My van has 212k miles and previous owner had to have the trans rebuilt and bet they never even changed the filter which obviously should have been since trans failed and probably all kinds of junk in it. The van does have a bit of a delay when I put it in gear? Shifts fine but next couple days I’ll be ordering the filter and parts to change mine from Honda.
Great vid. I Avoid any NISSAN with a CVT or other car with a JATCO cvt in it. (Jatco is a Nissan affiliate who makes their transmissions, it’s also in other cars like jaguar, dodge , etc ) I have a 2001 maxima 205k it started having trans problems around 203k. It isn’t a cvt but car over heated few years back and. Burned the atf fluid caught it and thought I saved it. I am Working thru it it’s drivable now for my son’s first car. but I gets a P0744 code from time to time. think it’s a TCC solenoid issue or dirty fluid . Going to change again. I also have a 2007 Honda Odyssey. Almost 200k, going to do a drain fill atf soon on it. All other 200k services done. And just got a 2019 Ridgeline love it. Sorry to hear about the trans on van But gr8 vid.
I am familiar with the Jatco run, not sure why Nissan is so sold on them lol...that being said I have not had any issues yet! Thanks for watching and commenting! Have you ever serviced the transmission fluid up to this point?
A Guy and His Projects Yes I have changed it a few times before , I think this time it’s because the car over heated before and burned the fluid perhaps some. The reason why Nissan uses jatco. Is because they own part of that company. Like Toyota owns part of aisin transmission. Honda does their own transmissions. And Kia/Hyundai also does their own transmissions
If I can get to 250k I feel that is an acceptable mileage lol. The Chrysler worked out great! My wife wanted something a bit bigger so now we are rocking an 08 Grand Caravan that is kicking my butt haha
@@AGuyandHisProjects From what I am reading, these filters are present in all 3rd generation Odysseys '05 to '10 (not just 05 & 06). Mine is a 2010, I have bought the filter and o-ring - I will confirm mine has the same filter when I get a chance. Great video - I can't wait to try it on my own.
@@Sstantial if that is true about the years then that is good to know so yeah, keep us informed if you could! Good luck and I look forward to hearing what you find
That slipping you mentioned might be from a stuck or blocked valve in the valve body. I would guess a bit of that filter got in there and is causing problems. It does not take much to mess with a valve body, that is why when the pan is off you must be extra careful to avoid getting any dirt in there.
LMBO, you are the White guy version of myself. My first Honda, same circumstances when I bought it. I'm not liking them right now. I own 4 Nissan Pathfinders and I have barely had an issue with any off them. I have two '01s. One is my standard Transmission 4x4 which is my baby. I have another, this one is the leather fully loaded. I have an 06 that I'm about to replace the engine. Don't ask. It was my fault. And then I have a 2014, which my wife drives. Anyways bro, awesome video. Helped me out big time. Hopefully I caught my issue early enough.
@@AGuyandHisProjects yes sir it does! I didn't know that my van had a transmission dipstick and definitely did not know that there was an accessible transmission fluid filter!
Shit man, Ive got an 06 EX oddy with 280k on the odo. Only got it at 250k, but im fairly certain its never had the trans fluid changed, let alone the filter or a flush. It still shifts great while driving, but there is plenty of hesitation when going into drive or reverse. After watchin this, I think i need to go buy a filter.
My '05 appeared to have had the trans serviced regularly, but be aware every Honda service center only drains approx 3.5 quarts of atf which is only a third of it's capacity. Your owners manual says to drain & fill three times to get the majority of old fluid out. I did the proper 3x drain & fill for the 2nd time in the few years I owned it & at 177k miles my trany started slipping all of a sudden. I originally drained & filled with Valvoline High Mileage Multi vehicle ATF, and used that again a few months ago. Wish I would of changed that filter, & pulled & cleaned the trany solenoid screens at the same time. Not saying it is my issue, but to have the tranny slip badly all of a sudden is alarming.
Absolutely if the fluids already dark and burnt smelling just get all the mileage you can before it dies because the fresh fluid is going to make the damage worse.
I replaced that filter on my Acura TL'04 at 150kMi :... day and night shifting quality!! Do it , no question! My original unit was colapsed to one side due to strong spring smashing it AND the filter media was breached through with a gap opening (150kMi). The outcome is super predictible shifting points are restored instead of less predictible and not so smooth. If you have over 100k change it. Dont expect a thick build up of junk stuck on the filter as this filter goes bad by falling apart
@@AGuyandHisProjects at 100k if your engine is a little shaky and has lost its smooth power... THEN CHANGE THE BELT TENSIONER ($25 eBay). when tensioner is old the computer detects the revs are not smooth and LEANS OUT the mixture and the spark timing point is slightly off. This makes the engine shaky so people say "change the engine mounts..." not so!! These cars are bulet proof with easy maintenance: filter + tensioner 🙂
I know a few guys that have Honda J-series power plants with an automatic transmission. Even neglected they get over 200k out of. Now someone I know that only buys top shelf products for his Acura TL; he has 500k on his. Never cut corners when it comes to your car or truck. Cheap gets expensive.
Indeed! Tis why I am so into preventative maintenance. I also buy old vehicles that have been previously neglected which tends to get me into pickles lol
@@AGuyandHisProjects I just bought an 06 TL. Interior & exterior are mint. The a/c needs new Schrader valve core's, and Freon. The driver's window wont roll down. Those are the only area's that need work.
The lower 12mm bolts on that battery tray are kicking my butt. I recommend hitting with good penetrating oil & some prayers as soon as you know you are going to remove this as space is also a premium. I definitely prefer working on my 81 Dodge Ram V8 or these newer vehicles.
I do indeed like transmission coolers! Especially being here in the greater PHX area, hard enough to cool off as it is lol, the more moving air over the fluid the better
My 2006 has 240K miles on it. I've got the transmission whine, which from what I've read is the slow but inevitable death knell for the trans. Doing the accessible stuff like fluid change and pressure solenoids. Wondering if this is worth doing as well. Won't fix the whine, but maybe anything that eases the stress on the trans helps.
Depends on the whine I suppose. Im a big supporter of keeping things kept up so if it was mine I would still follow the maintenance schedule. Have you ever had the timing chain guides replaced?
A Guy and His Projects Not sure what you mean by timing chain guides. Is that part of the trans? I did replace the hydraulic tensioner on the timing belt.
I’m actually supposed to drop the pan on the 06 and replace the fluid (gasket since I’m dropping the pan to check it all out ) (what I named it since I have a 06,08,and just picked up a 2018 or 17 I forget) but the 08 actually just started leaking fluid a bit ago and I cannot seem to find the leak and it’s only during certain days.I wonder if it is that gasket on the housing lid on filter or where the filter is supposed to be because I tried to investigate and it looks the exact same on that side as my 2008 …the 08 has140k the 06 has 122k so they are still young pups But if I can start changing them now it may prevent why always goes wrong with these vans anyways which is the transmission
Glad I caught this video while my odyssey is s at 145k. From what I gather once transmission fluid has gone too long your transmission is going to fail rather you change it or not....in fact the fresh detergents can accelerate the damage. If you buy a high milage car and the trans fluid is already dark or gritty it's just too late. This is any make not just Honda. I had a VW and was told the Trans fluid is lifetime fluid. Foolish me VW considers the lifetime of the transmission to be 100k. It went to 170k on original fluid. Nissans are great but make sure you don't get a CVT transmission. They fail prematurely....all of them fail. They may have fixed it in newer models but only time will tell.
Most Cars life spend are around 250k. If you got one that’s over that then you got your money worth, I would think. Yes you can replace part and keep it running but when you get to the harder and time consuming parts to replace. like piston rings, Timing belt that are eventually going to wear out. Might not be worth it.
Thanks for watching! I agree, it all comes down to how much time and effort you want to spend on them. If parts are cheaper than payments on a new vehicle sometimes it is worth the time and effort. Every situation is different
some people always say that year odyssey have transmission problems maybe cause was that little filter 🤔 dealership dont know shit they work on commissions thats why the bill is always high
Hmmm... We have an '05 Ody EX and the transmission has never really inspired confidence. I have to wonder if the filter falling apart was had as much to do with the failure as anything, but if it had been changed before it went to crap... I'm debating whether to leave well enough alone on my wife's and just to the "change" (and leave the filter alone)
Thumbs up for the great video. You should have done the maintenance before you raked up 50 k miles as you can expect that people don't regularly maintenance their vehicles. You may have then saved the transmissions life then. Honda is 100 times better than you think. Now sorry to tell you sir, but getting any Dodge Jeep or Chrysler is the worse move you could have EVER made. Keep it and you'll see what I mean. Sell it while can and save yourself alot of alot. You didn't really believe the dealer for a second.... Did you...
Thanks for the thumbs and comment! We had bought the van with 172k miles already on it. I knew that was a gamble...still annoys me that they claim it is a non serviceable item though. The chrysler is bound to have its own issues for sure! Lol
Don't let the dealer talk you into a transmission "flush", which can damage your transmission and Honda does not recommend. Only do a drain and fill as shown here.
Did you have any problems with the external shift solenoids Ive replaced the pressure shift solenoid on top now says solenoid C stuck closed Mine has 156000 miles On a 06 Honda Odyssey touring
Do you know what that broken plastic ring piece was from? Was it part of the interior of the housing, or part of the old, original filter? I found smaller pieces inside the banjo-bolt when I did mine on a 2003 Accord v6, yesterday.
Del modelo 2008, 2009 y 2010 el filtro está dentro de la transmisión, así que para acceder tendrías que desarmarla, básicamente quienes tenemos esos modelos hay que conformarnos con cambiar el aceite solamente.
Common problem with this transmission shift solenoid which controls fluid pressure when it goes bad let clutch packs slip 200 k miles on a auto transmission is pretty good
I have an 07 which i believe has no exturnal filter , think wix has one you can add inline ? changed my atf yesterday / love that you use oem parts e.g. motorcraft for ford , ac/delco for GM etc. - Maybe you should work @ Honda parts dept. . Best Wishes !
Thank for watching! I don't always use OEM, a lot of the time they are simply to expensive lol. No parts counter for me! I would end up super bored lol
friend it happens to me that 2 days ago my truck when accelerating only the revolutions go up and the mileage does not after a few seconds to insist it jerks and the tires skid a little and it drives normally. They tell me that it could be the transmission filter that gets covered when it gets hot and causes that problem. Do you think that a service could be the solution?
My van is stressing my out its always problems after problems i just got my transmission fluid changed and now its slipping each gear and throwing a p0741 code im about to sell that thing to the junkyard
Dude, I have a 2007 Honda Odyssey and I can't find where the transmission's external oil filter is located. I have seen several videos from 2002 to 2006, and it does not have it on the same site. Can you help me with that please
I do not have a professional answer for you as I am not a professional. However I believe the filter location I show in this video is only for years 05 and 06. I could be wrong though. I think in 07 they changed the design up a bit
@@curtismarten3014 purely a 100% guess I would assume if you have the same year the transmission would be the same...but I am no expert in the matter lol
Got a 2008 Acura TL same engine I think got 155,000 on it debating if I should change it slightly slipping I think changed pressure switch and fluid what are your thoughts about this?
Keep in mind that I am NOT a mechanic. That being said if it is already slipping it will get worse if you do nothing...you have a chance to maybe make it better. I'd say go for it! Could go south on you though...but it is going south either way lol
replace that filter ASAP 3x3 ATF exchange transmission ECU RESET to force it to relearn pressures! The bad filter screws up operating pressures by foaming the ATF
@@schirlbenjamin497 good question! Keep in mind that I am not a mechanic...that being said if you do it regularly I just do it once every other oil change. If you don't know or only do it once in a great while I would do the 3x
That filter they say never needs to be changed might be part of the reason why those transmissions have problems. I have heard people say stay away from a V6 Honda.
Which model year? '07 and above uses a 4-shaft 5 speed transmission similar to the Ridgeline. The filter has been internalized into the H5. It's slightly more beefier.
This is clearly not a Honda problem, it is his problem for buying a beat up old van. He even admitted that he knew about the problem before he bought the van. The transmission of ANY car will last as long as it is properly maintained but anything beyond 200K miles is on borrowed time, regardless of brand and make. This little AT filter is not the main transmission oil filter, it is the filter for the transmission oil cooler line. I have seen many people replacing this filter at 100K miles and the filter is either pinkish or dark pink, not pitch black like this one. This car AT has not been serviced properly for a long time to collect that much black dirty residue on the cooler line from the worn out AT gears. I am surprised that the AT even last that long given how poorly maintained it was by the previous owner. The filter will last as long as the AT is properly serviced at the right intervals, either 30K miles or 3 years, whichever comes first. The AT fluid can be just drained and filled, not flushed as Honda does not recommend that. In this case, the ATF was clearly very filthy and contaminated with the metallic shaving from the AT, I would not be surprised if this AT had been overheated many times in the car life and causing the glue in the filter to disintegrated. The filter paper is still intact which is a good thing but that did not help the AT components being prematurely worn out. Net net is, he can't blame this on Honda, this is a problem that he knew when he bought the car. Words to the wise, make sure you check their maintenance record and check that dipstick before you even consider an used car from a private party. Caveat emptor!
Air, oil, fuel & transmission filters should be changed because of all the gunk they filter out. That’s literally the job of the filter!!! And I’m not a mechanic or engineer 😂
You have to get at it from the bottom, I pulled the entire splash guard just so I could get my hands up in there to remove the bolt. As open as the space around the bolt is, getting my hand in there with a wrench was tough. After I got the bolt loose, I used a ratcheting box wrench to remove it. Also, if you don't have one of those form a funnel things, I found a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil folded over itself a couple of times works. I just did a filter and fluid change. It shifts smoothly now. I'm hoping it lasts a while b/c with 235k who knows how much life is left in it. I let the last fluid change go a bit longer than I had intended, life got a little crazy but, the plan is to drain and fill it two more times over the next month to get most of the old fluid out. I'd say just leave the splash guard off but I think that's what contributed to my alternator failing. When driven through a normal puddle the electronics would behave erratically and eventually the alternator failed. I think the previous owner removed the splash guard and didn't replace it. I only found out it was missing when I was looking up some other parts and saw it was there in the parts diagram but not on my car.
Very disappointing since these transmission fail a lot so sure a good reason why not changing the filters. Just think how that junk can plug things up.
I can't remember where I saw it but, Honda changed some seemingly minor parts out at some point in the 2006 model year that made the '06 transmissions last longer than the '05. While the filter might contribute to the issue, it wasn't the primary cause of the shorter life of the '05 and early '06 transmission.
Thanks for watching and the comment! Sorting crap out is always a work in progress lol. I'd be willing to bet that even if some of that dirt carried over it was still better than before haha!
I believe if you would have gotten that transmission fixed with all your knowledge about that accessible transmission fluid filter, that van would have last you another 200 + thousand miles!
@@AGuyandHisProjects I understand about the mileage but it's paid for! I would have suggested that you rebuild the transmission and let it keep on giving you good service!
Proper maintenance is absolute key! Unfortunately when you buy an older vehicle you are crossing your fingers that the previous owner took care of it. Always a bit of a gamble to some extent
Manufacturers are hoping you never service your vehicle so you buy a new one, I pulled the trans pan on my 2011 nissan morano I tried to get the filter at nissan and could not even get the pan gasket. I found the external filter at Amazon the tech said the same thing only he asked why I dropped the pan, I said these trannys are known to be junk, and should be maintained regularly he laughs at me, I said how was I to know what shape it was without dropping the pan inside is a magnet that was totally covered in metallic sludge, which I cleaned and also cleaned the element in the pan. It also was yucky. They want you to think lifetime a huh, nope that's BS CHANGE ALL FLUIDS AND FILTERS IF YOU WANT IT TO LAST.

@viral videos interesting to know! Honda definitely did something strange, that's for sure haha
It’s funny because when you go to Honda and ask for the filter they tell you that you don’t need it 😂
Great video changing mine next.

Thabks for the comment and the thoughts! Very thought out
@@AGuyandHisProjects In looking a bit further I found the filter is on the return line not on the pump pick up line. Replacing it may help clean up the fluid but sadly if there is enough trash to clog the internal pump pick up "filter" (actually a screen) changing the return filter won't help. Sad they didn't leave a way to at least blow if off while in the car. -Even if they had left a fitting into the pump pick up tube above the filter, one could blow it out with an air gun.
My son had an Accord where the trans quit pulling some miles away from the house. I went to pick it up with a car dolly. It would not even move itself to the dolly. When I got home I started it and it pulled fine - drove it around for a number of miles. I think the jostling drive with no flow let some of the trash fall away from the screen. It might have been possible to drain the unit after aggressive jostling ( pull it down a dry creek bed. or find a pot holed street ;-) and get enough out to do get a few more weeks or months out of it but I sold it as is.
Great video! I have a 2007 so I don't
have that problem. It seems kinda crazy honda would say it's a life long filter. It's clearly not. Good info!
Thanks for watching! Yeah I don't understand, but some manufacturers also consider their fluid lifelong as well. I disagree with most lifelong statement lol
I bought a Honda Odyssey 2006 . I had error code E 0741, replaced the solenoid which was not working and the error came back . Replaced the trany oil filter rand the car is running very, very smooth. No error code and the tranny is changing nice and smooth. replacing the tranny oil filter is a must if you care about your money !!!Thanks for uploading.
You are most welcome! Thanks for the comment
I'm currently dealing with a P0741. I think I'm going to change the filter. I already replaced the tcc solenoid and pressure control solenoid and it started acting up again after 900 miles.
Hello. I need to do this. Did you change the one in this video? Or was it another filter elsewhere on the vehicle?
@@gg.v.4770 I changed the one in the video and most likely that filter was never changed in 16 years. I have the car for 2 years .
@@petrusincraian198 awesome. Thanks for that! I'll have to try that.
Very clear video and enjoyed storyline. Have seen one too many videos that are staggaring all over and difficult to follow ,especially for the novice.
Thanks for the comment! Let me know how it goes when you tackle it
It is very important you told us the Odyssey Transmission fail at the end of this video. My friend's Odyssey transmission screw up too. My friend bought that Odyssey brand new from Honda dealer. Looks like it is a fact that Honda Odyssey really a Bad deal.
Thanks for watching! I don't know that they are all bad, and I bought that van with it already having some transmission issues. I do know that that experience made me not like Honda so much that hahaha!
Yeah have a 2006 Honda Odyssey and I feel the need to change this. I just bought four quarts of fluid so I can change It Out by itself. Now I need a filter
Let me know how it goes!
4 qt isnt enough to get it mostly cleaned out. You need 10. 3.3qt each drain and fill. Do it 3x.
@@MichaelLee-yh7ss you know what you're right about that. I do it a little bit at a time that way the fluid maintains and should be just fine. But I heard if you changed it all out at one time it starts slipping.
Thanx ! You just helped me end an argument. I too was told by a HONDA Dealer there was no serviceable Trans Filter on 06 ODY. Good video
Haha, glad I can help!
My friend you may have just saved me from pulling more of my hair out! 2006 Odyssey Touring Edition. 255k. I'm her 2nd owner... first kept her up meticulously. For 4 month, I've been experiencing shifting issues... only after maybe an hour of driving. First the long delay into reverse from park... then two stepping 2nd to 3rd... eventually all gears slip and bang. Changed all solenoids... Linears with pressure valves as well as the (4) single A's and B's.... flushed fluid as it appeared burnt. No unusual debris. Still same shifting issues after she warms up. Usually at least an hour of operation. Keep in mind she shifts seamlessly for an hour before issues start. One mechanic warned me the transmission is trash. Another mentioned the solenoids. I've taken this into my own hands to save her. Thinking this filter may be at least part of the problem... if not all of it. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the comment! If you are already experiencing issues then my vote is to go ahead and change that filter. If it is on the way out already it isn't like you are going to hurt it much more
Exactly this filter work only for your transmission cooler using trans. Oil . Ading nice transmission cooler is big improvement more oil less heat for small transmission. . Your main trans. filter is inside transmission only repleacible when you rebuilt trans.
Great work! Only good mainteining is the key. Drain every 12K. Or? Depends on driving. Now pass 340k no problem. Good luck
Thanks for watching! I love putting secondary transmission coolers on. Especially as I love in AZ
Yep if its replaceable I say replace it that's the exact reason why I'm here because I'm getting ready to do mine and a whole bunch of other things. Excellent video by the way❤❤
Thanks very much!
Well I finally got this done in my vehicle and it made a one hell of a difference. It doesn't jiggle or shudder no more at about 40 miles an hour so yeah good deal❤
Well done my friend!
Found you because my other friend has an 06 and his transmission is failing at 200k miles.
Awesome! Love hearing about the high milage
Good video, I liked it. Mu 06 odyssey trans filter at 250,00 miles is probably very bad too, but car still running. Did a lot of work on many other parts changes too. Hope transmission keeps runing, but I agree about the trans filter change. Thanks.
You are welcome and glad I can help! I really pride myself in keeping up with ALL the regular maintenance on vehicles. So when I buy one that has been neglected it always hurts lol. I wish all fluids had replaceable filters within reason.
Seen a lot of videos and yours is a excellent 1 that I would recommend to other 👍
I appreciate That! Thank you!
Great video. Ty for all the details A Guy and His Projects. I’ve watched my share of transmission filter change videos & ur vid is very well explained.
Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it :)
Thanks for making this video. My van has 212k miles and previous owner had to have the trans rebuilt and bet they never even changed the filter which obviously should have been since trans failed and probably all kinds of junk in it. The van does have a bit of a delay when I put it in gear? Shifts fine but next couple days I’ll be ordering the filter and parts to change mine from Honda.
Let me know how it goes!
Great vid.
I Avoid any NISSAN with a CVT or other car with a JATCO cvt in it. (Jatco is a Nissan affiliate who makes their transmissions, it’s also in other cars like jaguar, dodge , etc )
I have a 2001 maxima 205k it started having trans problems around 203k. It isn’t a cvt but car over heated few years back and. Burned the atf fluid caught it and thought I saved it. I am Working thru it it’s drivable now for my son’s first car. but I gets a P0744 code from time to time.
think it’s a TCC solenoid issue or dirty fluid . Going to change again.
I also have a 2007 Honda Odyssey. Almost 200k, going to do a drain fill atf soon on it. All other 200k services done. And just got a 2019 Ridgeline love it.
Sorry to hear about the trans on van
But gr8 vid.
I am familiar with the Jatco run, not sure why Nissan is so sold on them lol...that being said I have not had any issues yet! Thanks for watching and commenting! Have you ever serviced the transmission fluid up to this point?
A Guy and His Projects Yes I have changed it a few times before , I think this time it’s because the car over heated before and burned the fluid perhaps some.
The reason why Nissan uses jatco. Is because they own part of that company.
Like Toyota owns part of aisin transmission.
Honda does their own transmissions. And Kia/Hyundai also does their own transmissions
@@dfields9511 I did not know that Nissan had part of Jatco! I just made the assumption it was part of the deal when they partnered up with Renault
I had a roller coaster saga of repairs on my ‘97 Yoyager .. but, got over 200k miles .. good luck with your Chrysler mini van …
If I can get to 250k I feel that is an acceptable mileage lol. The Chrysler worked out great! My wife wanted something a bit bigger so now we are rocking an 08 Grand Caravan that is kicking my butt haha
Wow glad I saw your video I was looking at buying a 05 Honda Odyssey on offer up tomorrow with over 2k miles 😳 saved me some hard akes I stay gm
This video doesn't mean they are all bad! Any vehicle you buy with high mileage is a gamble, you just really never know
"Good for the life of the vehicle" equates to -- Not changing this will eventually END THE LIFE of your vehicle (transmission)
Exactly!
@@AGuyandHisProjects From what I am reading, these filters are present in all 3rd generation Odysseys '05 to '10 (not just 05 & 06). Mine is a 2010, I have bought the filter and o-ring - I will confirm mine has the same filter when I get a chance. Great video - I can't wait to try it on my own.
@@Sstantial if that is true about the years then that is good to know so yeah, keep us informed if you could! Good luck and I look forward to hearing what you find
@@Sstantial Not true. Only the 05-06. The 07-10 use a different transmission entirely
That slipping you mentioned might be from a stuck or blocked valve in the valve body. I would guess a bit of that filter got in there and is causing problems. It does not take much to mess with a valve body, that is why when the pan is off you must be extra careful to avoid getting any dirt in there.
There is a strong possibility that you are correct. I did away with the van and said good riddance lol
I don't believe this vintage of Honda has a pan. It looks like transmission sides are sandwiched together.
LMBO, you are the White guy version of myself. My first Honda, same circumstances when I bought it. I'm not liking them right now. I own 4 Nissan Pathfinders and I have barely had an issue with any off them. I have two '01s. One is my standard Transmission 4x4 which is my baby. I have another, this one is the leather fully loaded. I have an 06 that I'm about to replace the engine. Don't ask. It was my fault. And then I have a 2014, which my wife drives. Anyways bro, awesome video. Helped me out big time. Hopefully I caught my issue early enough.
Awesome dude! Thanks for watching! Nissan has certainly proved themselves to me over time
Good video. Honda says “it’s irreparable and should not be worked on. The warranty is for the lifetime of the transmission.”
Kind of dumb ain't it? Lol
@@AGuyandHisProjects Simple: they want your car to brake down, so, you’ll buy a new car. Money, money, and money.
Thank you for showing this sir!
Absolutely! Hope it helped!
@@AGuyandHisProjects yes sir it does! I didn't know that my van had a transmission dipstick and definitely did not know that there was an accessible transmission fluid filter!
Glad to hear I helped!
My odyssey it at 314,000 miles on its original transmission, you’re right maintenance is the key
Thanks for watching! Out of curiosity what year is your odyssey?
Shit man, Ive got an 06 EX oddy with 280k on the odo. Only got it at 250k, but im fairly certain its never had the trans fluid changed, let alone the filter or a flush. It still shifts great while driving, but there is plenty of hesitation when going into drive or reverse. After watchin this, I think i need to go buy a filter.
Let me know if your old one looks like mine did lol!
Great DIY video!!
Thank you! Hope it helps!
A bungee cord holding up the ABS about 2" helps quite a bit.
Great tip, thanks!
My '05 appeared to have had the trans serviced regularly, but be aware every Honda service center only drains approx 3.5 quarts of atf which is only a third of it's capacity. Your owners manual says to drain & fill three times to get the majority of old fluid out. I did the proper 3x drain & fill for the 2nd time in the few years I owned it & at 177k miles my trany started slipping all of a sudden. I originally drained & filled with Valvoline High Mileage Multi vehicle ATF, and used that again a few months ago. Wish I would of changed that filter, & pulled & cleaned the trany solenoid screens at the same time. Not saying it is my issue, but to have the tranny slip badly all of a sudden is alarming.
A lot of people say that once the fluid is bad you shouldn't change it in any capacity...I get way to OCD about dirty fluid haha
Absolutely if the fluids already dark and burnt smelling just get all the mileage you can before it dies because the fresh fluid is going to make the damage worse.
I replaced that filter on my Acura TL'04 at 150kMi :... day and night shifting quality!! Do it , no question!
My original unit was colapsed to one side due to strong spring smashing it AND the filter media was breached through with a gap opening (150kMi).
The outcome is super predictible shifting points are restored instead of less predictible and not so smooth.
If you have over 100k change it. Dont expect a thick build up of junk stuck on the filter as this filter goes bad by falling apart
Thanks for watching! I think all transmission filters should be changeable!
@@AGuyandHisProjects at 100k if your engine is a little shaky and has lost its smooth power... THEN CHANGE THE BELT TENSIONER ($25 eBay). when tensioner is old the computer detects the revs are not smooth and LEANS OUT the mixture and the spark timing point is slightly off.
This makes the engine shaky so people say "change the engine mounts..." not so!!
These cars are bulet proof with easy maintenance: filter + tensioner
🙂
I know a few guys that have Honda J-series power plants with an automatic transmission. Even neglected they get over 200k out of. Now someone I know that only buys top shelf products for his Acura TL; he has 500k on his. Never cut corners when it comes to your car or truck. Cheap gets expensive.
Indeed! Tis why I am so into preventative maintenance. I also buy old vehicles that have been previously neglected which tends to get me into pickles lol
@@AGuyandHisProjects I just bought an 06 TL. Interior & exterior are mint. The a/c needs new Schrader valve core's, and Freon. The driver's window wont roll down. Those are the only area's that need work.
@@danp7463 sounds like you found a nice buy! Should last you a good long time :)
man thank you alot you save my van trasmisión I was real bad God bless🎉
You are most welcome, glad I could help!
Muy bueno congratulaciones
Thanks!
The lower 12mm bolts on that battery tray are kicking my butt. I recommend hitting with good penetrating oil & some prayers as soon as you know you are going to remove this as space is also a premium. I definitely prefer working on my 81 Dodge Ram V8 or these newer vehicles.
Hahaha I hate it when the stupid bolts won't budge! How'd it end up going? Did you get it all done? How'd your filter look?
You ever thought about installing trans and power steering cooler? Specially Transmission ?? I have 2008 EXL. 2008 has trans filter inside the pan ?
I do indeed like transmission coolers! Especially being here in the greater PHX area, hard enough to cool off as it is lol, the more moving air over the fluid the better
Felicitaciones, excelente video, saludos
Thanks for watching! Glad I can help
My 2006 has 240K miles on it. I've got the transmission whine, which from what I've read is the slow but inevitable death knell for the trans. Doing the accessible stuff like fluid change and pressure solenoids. Wondering if this is worth doing as well. Won't fix the whine, but maybe anything that eases the stress on the trans helps.
Depends on the whine I suppose. Im a big supporter of keeping things kept up so if it was mine I would still follow the maintenance schedule. Have you ever had the timing chain guides replaced?
A Guy and His Projects Not sure what you mean by timing chain guides. Is that part of the trans? I did replace the hydraulic tensioner on the timing belt.
@@entropiusvictor2739 no, they are in the engine...but could be the whine you are hearing if they have never been replaced
@@AGuyandHisProjects It has a timing belt
Nice work i appreciate it
Thanks for watching and the comment!
I’m actually supposed to drop the pan on the 06 and replace the fluid (gasket since I’m dropping the pan to check it all out ) (what I named it since I have a 06,08,and just picked up a 2018 or 17 I forget) but the 08 actually just started leaking fluid a bit ago and I cannot seem to find the leak and it’s only during certain days.I wonder if it is that gasket on the housing lid on filter or where the filter is supposed to be because I tried to investigate and it looks the exact same on that side as my 2008 …the 08 has140k the 06 has 122k so they are still young pups
But if I can start changing them now it may prevent why always goes wrong with these vans anyways which is the transmission
Chasing leaks can be less than fun sometimes lol. And yep, I strongly believe in preventative maintenance.
Glad I caught this video while my odyssey is s at 145k. From what I gather once transmission fluid has gone too long your transmission is going to fail rather you change it or not....in fact the fresh detergents can accelerate the damage. If you buy a high milage car and the trans fluid is already dark or gritty it's just too late. This is any make not just Honda.
I had a VW and was told the Trans fluid is lifetime fluid. Foolish me VW considers the lifetime of the transmission to be 100k. It went to 170k on original fluid.
Nissans are great but make sure you don't get a CVT transmission. They fail prematurely....all of them fail. They may have fixed it in newer models but only time will tell.
Yeah there is certainly a lot of debate on the topic. Makes you scared to change it for sure!
super awesome. I have 2007 Oddy. Can it be done on it. It has about 180k miles.
I believe in 07 the moved the filter more-so internal so I think you can't. I could be wrong on that though.
Most Cars life spend are around 250k. If you got one that’s over that then you got your money worth, I would think. Yes you can replace part and keep it running but when you get to the harder and time consuming parts to replace. like piston rings, Timing belt that are eventually going to wear out. Might not be worth it.
Thanks for watching! I agree, it all comes down to how much time and effort you want to spend on them. If parts are cheaper than payments on a new vehicle sometimes it is worth the time and effort. Every situation is different
some people always say that year odyssey have transmission problems maybe cause was that little filter 🤔 dealership dont know shit they work on commissions thats why the bill is always high
I agree with dealer prices being high. I'm dumbfounded sometimes when I go in for a service of pretty much any sort by their prices lol.
Thank you so much f
Most welcome!
Do you have to remove the oil first to do this job?
No, the filter is located higher than the oil in the transmission
You better have it towed to the self service car wash and commercial shop vac the hell out of that filter canister!
Haha no joke!
Good video
Thanks! Hope it was able to help
Hmmm... We have an '05 Ody EX and the transmission has never really inspired confidence. I have to wonder if the filter falling apart was had as much to do with the failure as anything, but if it had been changed before it went to crap... I'm debating whether to leave well enough alone on my wife's and just to the "change" (and leave the filter alone)
It is a gamble either way haha!
Thumbs up for the great video. You should have done the maintenance before you raked up 50 k miles as you can expect that people don't regularly maintenance their vehicles. You may have then saved the transmissions life then. Honda is 100 times better than you think.
Now sorry to tell you sir, but getting any Dodge Jeep or Chrysler is the worse move you could have EVER made. Keep it and you'll see what I mean. Sell it while can and save yourself alot of alot.
You didn't really believe the dealer for a second.... Did you...
Thanks for the thumbs and comment! We had bought the van with 172k miles already on it. I knew that was a gamble...still annoys me that they claim it is a non serviceable item though. The chrysler is bound to have its own issues for sure! Lol
@@AGuyandHisProjects Your welcome. Don't believe anything the deal says. I really enjoyed the video! ! !
@@lifepresent3183 I can dig it!
yep, Honda & Toyota are the best automotive companies, far better than Germans money pits that eat parts for no good reasons
Don't let the dealer talk you into a transmission "flush", which can damage your transmission and Honda does not recommend. Only do a drain and fill as shown here.
I concur! The owners manual calls for 3 drain and refills in a row rather than the flush lol.
I use a suction pump from dipstick pipe then I can do it more often without extra agravations
Thank you you is the best
You are most welcome!
"Life of the vehicle " to them is the time they are responsible for warranty repair. So 75k miles tops.
Which sucks a bit
Did you have any problems with the external shift solenoids
Ive replaced the pressure shift solenoid on top now says solenoid C stuck closed
Mine has 156000 miles
On a 06 Honda Odyssey touring
No, I did not have any issues with those personally
It that a “banjo” bolt with “crush” washers?
Odd aint it!
Do you know what that broken plastic ring piece was from? Was it part of the interior of the housing, or part of the old, original filter? I found smaller pieces inside the banjo-bolt when I did mine on a 2003 Accord v6, yesterday.
I assume it was part of the filter...but o dont know that
a rebuild isn't too bad if you have another vehicle handy
True
Can you update the Amazon links to purchase the parts? Thanks for the video.
Oh man, I hate it when amazon sellers start selling something new on their old post for something else. Been a long time since I did this video
Disculpe donde esta un filtro de una transmisión de una honda odyssey 2010
I wish I spoke Spanish to help know what you just said!
Del modelo 2008, 2009 y 2010 el filtro está dentro de la transmisión, así que para acceder tendrías que desarmarla, básicamente quienes tenemos esos modelos hay que conformarnos con cambiar el aceite solamente.
I have the same Honda Odyssey were you getting stuck? Mine will reverse but not go into drive, gonna try the filter change today when it's towed home
Nope. I did it purely for the sake that I assumed it had never been dome before and I think I assumed correctly haha!
Is honda odyssey 2006 rb1 transmission filter located at the same pace as the one in the video? I have rb1
I do not have an official answer for you...however I do not believe so
Common problem with this transmission shift solenoid which controls fluid pressure when it goes bad let clutch packs slip 200 k miles on a auto transmission is pretty good
Thanks for watching and the comment! I think if well maintained it would do even better!
I have an 07 which i believe has no exturnal filter , think wix has one you can add inline ? changed my atf yesterday / love that you use oem parts e.g. motorcraft for ford , ac/delco for GM etc. - Maybe you should work @ Honda parts dept. . Best Wishes !
Thank for watching! I don't always use OEM, a lot of the time they are simply to expensive lol. No parts counter for me! I would end up super bored lol
Nice video. Where's the spring? Does it go on the cap?
If I remember right. The spring went in before the filter so the filter ends up sitting against the cap
@@AGuyandHisProjects thank you pal
@@Usmanthemecano you bet!
Where did you get the parts? Honda service department or online please link. Thanks
I went in to the dealership parts counter
friend it happens to me that 2 days ago my truck when accelerating only the revolutions go up and the mileage does not after a few seconds to insist it jerks and the tires skid a little and it drives normally.
They tell me that it could be the transmission filter that gets covered when it gets hot and causes that problem. Do you think that a service could be the solution?
Honestly couldn't tell you, but wouldn't hurt to try!
Try Lucas stop slip, that stuff works, also I use Valvoline Maxlife ATF, instead of the Honda oil.

Can you help me with that please
I do not have a professional answer for you as I am not a professional. However I believe the filter location I show in this video is only for years 05 and 06. I could be wrong though. I think in 07 they changed the design up a bit
Thank my Lord
Thanks for your help friend.
Would this include the the touring editions as well?

Do you know by chance whether 2009 has transmission filter also?
I do not know...hopefully somebody who does will chime in!
Got a 2008 Acura TL same engine I think got 155,000 on it debating if I should change it slightly slipping I think changed pressure switch and fluid what are your thoughts about this?
Keep in mind that I am NOT a mechanic. That being said if it is already slipping it will get worse if you do nothing...you have a chance to maybe make it better. I'd say go for it! Could go south on you though...but it is going south either way lol
replace that filter ASAP
3x3 ATF exchange
transmission ECU RESET to force it to relearn pressures!
The bad filter screws up operating pressures by foaming the ATF
@@AGuyandHisProjects the 3x drain and fill, is that every ATF change or only if you don't know the last time its been changed?
@@schirlbenjamin497 good question! Keep in mind that I am not a mechanic...that being said if you do it regularly I just do it once every other oil change. If you don't know or only do it once in a great while I would do the 3x
That filter they say never needs to be changed might be part of the reason why those transmissions have problems. I have heard people say stay away from a V6 Honda.
I don't know for sure but you might be right!
the motor is good for 400kMi or more but the transmission is a different ball game

@@AGuyandHisProjects 😀 👍
I am in the same boat brotha I am bout to change mine just got it and the tranny fluid was black
Let me know how it goes!
I'm trying to change the transmission filter but turns out it wasn't there. Is it possible it didn't have one or is it that it came apart?
The housing is small so if it isn't there somebody probably removed it
Which model year? '07 and above uses a 4-shaft 5 speed transmission similar to the Ridgeline. The filter has been internalized into the H5. It's slightly more beefier.
Can I just remove my filter? Just guess and put a confidence level on it. Example: I say you can just remove it and I am 60% confident
Of course you CAN remove it...I would be way more comfortable having a filter there though
toyota says you never need to change tranny fluid, i say everyone is under the built to replace entirely frame of mind... "life of the vehicle"
Lol yep, everybody is free to make their decisions on their car maintenance. I like to keep them clean and kept up personally haha
This is clearly not a Honda problem, it is his problem for buying a beat up old van. He even admitted that he knew about the problem before he bought the van. The transmission of ANY car will last as long as it is properly maintained but anything beyond 200K miles is on borrowed time, regardless of brand and make. This little AT filter is not the main transmission oil filter, it is the filter for the transmission oil cooler line. I have seen many people replacing this filter at 100K miles and the filter is either pinkish or dark pink, not pitch black like this one. This car AT has not been serviced properly for a long time to collect that much black dirty residue on the cooler line from the worn out AT gears. I am surprised that the AT even last that long given how poorly maintained it was by the previous owner. The filter will last as long as the AT is properly serviced at the right intervals, either 30K miles or 3 years, whichever comes first. The AT fluid can be just drained and filled, not flushed as Honda does not recommend that. In this case, the ATF was clearly very filthy and contaminated with the metallic shaving from the AT, I would not be surprised if this AT had been overheated many times in the car life and causing the glue in the filter to disintegrated. The filter paper is still intact which is a good thing but that did not help the AT components being prematurely worn out. Net net is, he can't blame this on Honda, this is a problem that he knew when he bought the car. Words to the wise, make sure you check their maintenance record and check that dipstick before you even consider an used car from a private party. Caveat emptor!
Thanks for the comment and the thorough evaluation of the situation!
He probably got this car for 1000 bucks. You know what you’re buying when you get something like this.
Air, oil, fuel & transmission filters should be changed because of all the gunk they filter out. That’s literally the job of the filter!!! And I’m not a mechanic or engineer 😂
Amen!
Hmm interesting
Thanks for watching!
Hey I'm having some issues with my 05/06 oddy. I'm selling this sucka.
Haha! They are "fun" for sure
Lmao Honda saying their filters are lifetime is just like BMW saying their fluid doesn't need to be changed ever lol
True story!
Damm bro am late watching this
Lol. Better late than never???
In 2010 it is in the same position
Thanks for watching! I do not believe it is. I THINK it was just 06 and 07 that has then where mine is.
Is all Honda van made on 05- 10 bad ?
No sir! And we liked the van...minus this one issue lol
05-06 have the same transmission. 07+ is a different transmission based on or possibly the same as the transmission used in the Ridgeline.
Impossible to remove a bolt for the tray on the 2005, looks like your car didn’t have one? It is vertical to the right with very tiny space…
Oh dang I don't remember anymore. That was a hot minute ago lol
Yes, that batt box is a bitch. Have done a few times....Only thing I can tell ya is once you have it out, don't put back in!! Sturdy w/o
You have to get at it from the bottom, I pulled the entire splash guard just so I could get my hands up in there to remove the bolt. As open as the space around the bolt is, getting my hand in there with a wrench was tough. After I got the bolt loose, I used a ratcheting box wrench to remove it.
Also, if you don't have one of those form a funnel things, I found a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil folded over itself a couple of times works.
I just did a filter and fluid change. It shifts smoothly now. I'm hoping it lasts a while b/c with 235k who knows how much life is left in it. I let the last fluid change go a bit longer than I had intended, life got a little crazy but, the plan is to drain and fill it two more times over the next month to get most of the old fluid out.
I'd say just leave the splash guard off but I think that's what contributed to my alternator failing. When driven through a normal puddle the electronics would behave erratically and eventually the alternator failed. I think the previous owner removed the splash guard and didn't replace it. I only found out it was missing when I was looking up some other parts and saw it was there in the parts diagram but not on my car.
Very disappointing since these transmission fail a lot so sure a good reason why not changing the filters. Just think how that junk can plug things up.
Yes indeed, I am a firm believer in clean haha
This Odyssey model transmission always bid the dust. We now know why. The filter is not doing the job
You gotta wonder for sure!
I can't remember where I saw it but, Honda changed some seemingly minor parts out at some point in the 2006 model year that made the '06 transmissions last longer than the '05. While the filter might contribute to the issue, it wasn't the primary cause of the shorter life of the '05 and early '06 transmission.
why do you put the new filter dowen in the dirt old crap on the towl, gezz man get your shit sorted
Thanks for watching and the comment! Sorting crap out is always a work in progress lol. I'd be willing to bet that even if some of that dirt carried over it was still better than before haha!
The manual says replace so....
Manual for the 05 and 06 years?
Yes. Every 30k miles.
Interesting, I wonder if there was a reprint on the manual. The one I had didn't mention the filter at all, just the fluid
I believe if you would have gotten that transmission fixed with all your knowledge about that accessible transmission fluid filter, that van would have last you another 200 + thousand miles!
Maybe if it was taken care of from the get go. When we picked it up it already had a lot of mileage on it.
@@AGuyandHisProjects I understand about the mileage but it's paid for! I would have suggested that you rebuild the transmission and let it keep on giving you good service!
@@therajuncajun6487 the thought crossed my mind! All my vehicles are paid for, we buy older and fix them up to avoid those nasty payments lol.
@@AGuyandHisProjects I believe with proper maintenance that you probably could have gotten another 300,000 miles out of the engine
Proper maintenance is absolute key! Unfortunately when you buy an older vehicle you are crossing your fingers that the previous owner took care of it. Always a bit of a gamble to some extent
Manufacturers are hoping you never service your vehicle so you buy a new one, I pulled the trans pan on my 2011 nissan morano I tried to get the filter at nissan and could not even get the pan gasket. I found the external filter at Amazon the tech said the same thing only he asked why I dropped the pan, I said these trannys are known to be junk, and should be maintained regularly he laughs at me, I said how was I to know what shape it was without dropping the pan inside is a magnet that was totally covered in metallic sludge, which I cleaned and also cleaned the element in the pan. It also was yucky. They want you to think lifetime a huh, nope that's BS CHANGE ALL FLUIDS AND FILTERS IF YOU WANT IT TO LAST.
Yes indeed!
Chrysler 😅
Haha!
contaminated the filter really...
Sure thing
