Our previous posting talked about servicing Honda transmissions. Honda recommended that aftermarket flushing machines not be used on their vehicles. What's the alternative? Simply unscrew a drain plug at the bottom of the transmission. That will let out about a third of the fluid which is all that's needs to be changed if done at the correct service intervals. In the case of Mo, she had not serviced her Honda in 130,000 miles! Did that hurt her transmission? It definitely knocked some life out of it, but lucky for her, it's still OK. The magnet on her drain plug had a normal amount of material on it (see picture) and the transmission seemed to shift fine. We're going to have her come in after a few thousand miles to do another drain and fill which will help get some more of that old fluid out and help make sure that her transmission is in working order.
