Hi Eric,
You made a video on how to flush the transmission cooler on a 2001 Honda Odyssey. As part of that video, you covered the installation of an inline transmission filter.
I wanted to find out how well that’s working for you now that some time has passed, as well as hearing the from other members of the forum that have tried this.
I have a 2006 Honda Odyssey EX-L. It has that killer Honda J-series engine that I love, combined with their infamous tranny which is the bane of every Ody owner’s existence. It has 270,000 miles and I consider myself lucky to have made it this far with the original transmission. My family and I love this van. My children have traveled the U.S. for half of their childhood in it. So despite the miles, I’m getting a reman tranny instead of buying new. The van is otherwise in great shape. I’ve kept all the other maintenance up, so I figure “what the heck”.
I’ve looked at the top remans like Jasper and ETE. ETE recommends NOT installing the inline filter because it adds 2 other point where hose can pop off, dump all the fluid and kill the tranny. I have not heard of this being a problem with other folks, but would like to understand the risk I’m taking. He did not specifically say it would void the warranty, but I’ll probably go back and ask if this is something I decide to do. Tranny replacement is not something I dare attempt myself, but the filter I can easily handle if they won’t do it. I’d love to see my ody go for another 270K, so like the idea of the filter.
What’s your take on this?
Thanks in advance!
