How do you change the transmission fluid on a 2002 Honda Accord?

Answer 1

I own a 2000 Honda Accord and this is how you do it on that model. Drive you car up on ramps, be sure the chuck the back tire so the car does not roll. When under car look to your right, right behind the front passanger side tire. There you should see the transmission. There is no transmission pan on this car and also no filter. There is a round bolt that faces toward the passenger front tire. This is the transmission bolt. You can also identify the bolt because it is painted light blue. This round bolt can only be removed by taking a standard size rachet (WITHOUT A BIT) and fitting it into the the bolt. There is square hole in this bolt, designed to fit a rachet in without using a bit. You can not put a bit around the bolt because it is completely round. Anyway enough about the bolt. Remove bolt and about 3 quarts of transmission fluid will be drained. The drain bolt is magnetic and will have to be cleaned of metal particles when removed. After fully drained, replace plug, and add 2.7 quarts of Honda Transmission Fluid. Honda claims you must use Honda fluid in order to prevent damage, and for transmission to shift properly. Just a side note: This change only replaces about half the fluid. I do not know how to change entire system. If someone else knows please tell me. --Yes, from what i am told you do a flush type fill ....that is to say that after draining and refilling you run the vehicle and then repeat: drain and refill. You do this two to four times depending on the need and filth of the fluid.
