Honda recommends using Honda Premium Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) in their vehicles, with Dexron III as a temporary substitute. The first recommended fluid change is at 45,000 miles or 3 years, then every 30,000 miles or 2 years. Check the fluid level with the vehicle on level ground and the engine hot. If low, add the correct fluid. The transmission drain plug has a 3/5 inch hole. To drain the transaxle, drive the vehicle to warm up the fluid, raise the front of the vehicle, place a catch pan underneath, and remove the drain plug. Refill with Honda ATF or Dexron III, start the engine, move the gear selector through each position, and check the fluid level. The level should be in the HOT range.

Transmission issues can manifest in various ways, such as erratic shifts, failure to engage, or inability to downshift during heavy acceleration.

Use new self-locking nuts and set rings, flush the transaxle cooler lines, and ensure proper torque specifications for all bolts and connectors.

Place a transaxle jack under the transaxle, raise it slightly, and attach a chain hoist to steady it. Then remove the transaxle housing mounting bolts and take the transaxle out of the vehicle.

An internal combustion engine produces torque, or twisting force, only within a narrow speed range due to its breathing characteristics. Most modern overhead valve pushrod engines reach peak torque around 2500 rpm.

It is important to ensure proper adjustment for mechanical or cable linkages, or to top off hydraulic fluid if the system is hydraulically operated.

A solid understanding of the fundamental principles of operation is essential for effective troubleshooting, given the complexity and unique operating characteristics of the transaxle.
