I wanted to change the fluid, its gonna be okay if i change the fluid? Someone told me if i change my Transmission fluid my Transmission will be dead. Any advise or experience my friends ? Thanks in advance. James
If you wait too long before you change the fluid, it will hurt the transmission. What happens is the transmission gets formulated to the old fluid. It sounds like yours is already hurt though. There are two ways to flush that transmission. You can hook a machine up to the lines or use the drain plug located on the bottom of the transmission. What I would recommend is: using the drain plug method, because it won't drain all of the fluid. It will only drain a little under 50% of the fluid, (which will lower the risk of new fluid causing your damage). I would also add an additive to the new fluid, which will help you hold the required pressure for the transmission to shift properly. You can find the additive at any parts store, Lucas is a good choice. Hope this helps.
regrettably, Honda automobiles, which makes the vehicle, has suffered with a stable many 1998 - 2003 V6 Accords, Acura TL/CLs, between a handful of others that share the comparable automatic transmission difficulty/illness. A mega-million greenback, classification action lawsuit grew to become into presented interior the choose of many automobile proprietors. inspite of the shown fact that, the provisions for the lawsuit all ended countless years in the past. After inspection via a efficient mechanic, your suitable wager could be to length-up if it incredibly is nicely worth dropping in a rebuilt transmission, or unloading the vehicle. The transmission difficulty grew to become into by no skill fastened for the years reported, so a rebuilt unit has a honest threat that it might fail on you it decelerate the line. Sorry for the undesirable information. Honda/Acura make great automobiles, yet this actual difficulty has been a black eye for them. extra moderen fashions all look to savor physically powerful transmissions.
