Thank you very much Mr. Hiram for sharing such a nice information. Really filters and lubrication is a sensitive issue for any machine. Putting a new filter would be a good idea as long as it should available and not very costly. Otherwise a repair to the filter could also be a solution! Regards,
This filter was only installed by the dealership with a replacement transmission from Honda, excluding the 03-04 Odyssey. Meaning that when a transmission was replaced no matter if under warranty or payed for by a customer one was included and installed on the vehicle. I know, I installed at least a hundred transmission's with the warranty extension. .
Great video and information for those of us DIY. I will be on my search to find an aftermarket for my 1999 Acura CL; mine do not have one but I am thinking on cutting the line to add one of this filters. That might help get all the fiber before entering into the transmission again because I do not think the filter inside the transmission is doing the job right. Also it would be easier to change this one once in a while in the outside instead of dropping the transmission and have it open to only change the filter; by then I can only imagine that the clutches would be all worn out.... Any comments will be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Jose
I plan on installing a trans cooler and an external hydraulic filter that spins on, makes for easy maintenance. Plenty of room to install a remote filtering system, worth the 30 clams for that peace of mind.
A few weeks ago my transmission failed in my Acura. Apparently the filter clogged then caused my torque converter to blast pieces of metal everywhere. $3,300 to fix it. Not cool.
funny thing is I asked my Acura dealer specifically if the transmission return line filter needed to be serviced (140kMi): Adviser simply sayed: "Don't worry about it!" ... we'll sale you a new car when $5,000 repair shows up 😂 Dealers are not in the business of following service manual... only over priced basics + timing belt
I installed a Raybestos Powertrain Inline Magnetic automatic transmission filter (amzn.to/2QAz2NR) on the inbound transmission oil cooler line of my '00 Accord. Intuitively, using a 12mo replaceable external filter, along with bi-annual 3qt fluid swaps, just "seems" like sensible regular transmission maintenance practices with the goal of lengthening the life of the friction packs and minimizing gunk inside the transmission. But I have absolutely zero proof that my efforts have the desired effect.
I am about to change this filter on my 2003 Honda Element EX 2.4 (25430-PLR-003) as it isn't shifting automatically any more. I have no codes. Do you think that makes sense?
Same old for 2006 civic hybrid? Easy to change? Dealer wants 249 plus tax. Cannot be that hard. The crooks wanted 159 plus tax for changing air filter and cabin air filter. Crooks!
Hiram... What is your opinion of using aftermarket replaceable external transmission oil filters toward the effort of minimizing metallic detritus inside the transmission? If you like these things, can you recommend a particular product?

Just like any other machine, transmissions like clean oil. There's no harm in installing an additional filter as long as you use quality parts and install it correctly, anything the filter catches shouldn't be floating around your transmission. Using a screw on engine oil filter with a magnet stuck to it on a remote filter mount is a great option too, that sure makes maintenance cheap and easy compared to a specialty inline filter. IMO, all automatic transmissions should come with a screw on filter like many Saturns and Subarus have. Just to be clear, a filter definitely isn't a substitute for regular fluid changes though. Many wear particles are way too small for common filters to catch and it clearly won't stop the fluid from breaking down, so regular drain and refills are critical too.
Bro.. You are a Godsend! No one has ever addressed this as an issue for Honda/Acura transmission problems.
great information ill keep my eye out on my next honda rebuild make sure i dont miss this part can cause major problems thank u again

Well explained best I've seen so far:-))
You are the MAN! hiram! thanks for your videos hiram!

So not all transmissions have it? Just rebuilt ones?
But still causing problems, right?
DAMN that was nasty. Need to do mine right away. Thank you
Thanks! I'm going to inspect mine : )

per your previous video on the 2001 civic automatic transmission what is the aftermarket inline filter name and place to purchase?

informative, thank you...
Is there a routine maintenance for replacing this? It sure is smaller than the typical old style transmission filters.
What substitute filter would you recommend for 4cyl 4 speed transmission (M47A)?
how to fine the inline filter on my acrua tl 2004
Buen video gracias por compartir este video
do the 2000 automatic honda crv have an external inline filter or only the internal filter?
What model year has this filter?
Any idea where an aftermarket filter could be found?
Do you have any tips or information on ZF6HP-26? I'm having a hard time finding information on most every ZF. Thanks.
Is there any inline filter for acura rl 2001?
I can't seem to find it on my 2000 Honda Accord LX V6 3.0.
Honda : driving mechanics crazy since 1962.
we love them but sometimes we hate them. and miss our toyota transmissions.
I thought that VW 🙂 :
"Turning drivers into mechanics, since 1935!"
👍🏻
So how do you replace this with a hose if the inline filter is threaded on one end?
you use an adapter piece for hose to thread
Also found on Odyssey's?
***** How do you feel about these? www.magnefinefilters.com/Magnefine-3-8-Magnetic-Inline-Transmission-Filter-R038M.htm
***** What do you think about replacing these as part of routine service? 25450-RAY-003. Thank you for your high quality videos.
could this be an "initial use" filter designed to get plugged on new cars then bypass fluid once the break-in period is over?
+happy543210 no
What about a 97 crv...does it have one of these?
2001 Accord EX: Has anyone removed this filter and replaced with another filter or patched in additional line?

is that in for 05 acura tl too sir?
i dont think so! Apparently the TL tranny has a filter housing built on top with return line connected with 90° elbow.
thanks, hiram

Richard Flander , yes it does-how did it work out?
other filters, too
there are several

dealers prices are high to provide us an incentive to learn 🙂

Why should the filter cause a restriction if it has a bypass valve? If anything it will just stop filtering.
i think the bypass valve will open when filter get restricted.does it make sense
Is this for the 2004 acura tl
nop... I believe the TL filter is on top of tranny behind a cover with o-ring housing
Shit, I have a honda....
add a screw on b&m or derale filter in place of that junk.
