- 2008 Honda Civic transmission service at home Easy DIY.
Doing a transmission service on this old Civic with over 400 k.
The transmission fluid is black, not sure if it has ever been changed.
This car is fitted with an external transmission filter. Let's change this filter and dump out what is in the transmission pan.
The transmission pan on this car is fitted with a drain plug and magnet.
Where is the transmission filter on a Civic ?

That "not changing the transmission fluid" is the craziest thing I ever heard. When in doubt always change it. You can't hurt it by having fresh fluid. I would change it more often now that it has over 400,000 km. I have a Civic 08 with 141,000 mi on it and I keep up on the fluids like you wouldn't believe. Those people that abandon that car were fools. Never give up a Civic. Ever. Unless it's a 2012. That year was awful.
That is a service. Only 3 quarts but if you do it regularly it keeps it fresh. Got info from trans mechanic.
That filter ( strainer ) location & camera angles makes it look easier than it is, not well represented, it's a big pain in the ass to get it put back together
@@joejohnston2035 It's doable. But yes a pain
I've always heard conflicting things about changing ATF as well. In the end, I think it just boils down to personal preference. Nice job with the filter change Stephan. 🙂👍
Thank you my friend. !!!! Car is shifting good so fingers crossed
YEAH THE MAIN AND ONLY MISTAKE THAT PEOPLE DO IS BUY CHEAP AND TRY TO SAVE ( $5 - $1O ) PER QUARTS. AND NOT GOO WITH " OEM HONDA FLUIDS " AND GET RANDOM AUTO PARTS TRANSMISSION FLUID THAT IS TOO THIN OR TOO THICK AND HONDA HAS VERY STRONG TRANS BUT IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH TO MESS THEM UP THEY ARE DELICATE AT THE SAME TIME SAME YOOSELF THE TIME AND DOUBLE AND JUST ALWAYS GET " OEM FLUIDS FOR BOTH TRANSMISSIONS " YEAH THAT WAS A MUCH NEEDED WORK FOR THAT CAR GREAT JOB ON THE VIDEO
@@pstreetgarage7304is still good
The right answer is that if the transmission was going to go, it was going to go. Putting new fluid in it is not what makes it blow up.
Hey man. Ya the fluid is freshened up and the car shifts perfect. It's been a good old beater.
@pstreetgarage7304 It's amazing that the car is still running. Honda/Toyota is the shiznet.
@@LimitedEditionMotorcars Running like a top. Just passed an other road inspection ! They are good, I admit.
Always fun to watch you work - have a good weekend 👍😊
Hi Jerry. Thanks! Have a good weekend also !
@@pstreetgarage7304 THEY. DONT. HAVE. FILTERS. FOR. GEARBOX?? And. How. Many. Litres. Oil?
@@pstreetgarage7304how did it go
Should have cleaned the throttle body while you were in there.
Good point. Thank you !
Hey Pete, is there also a filter underneath the transmission fluid pan if you'd take that off?
Never had the pan off. Filter is external. A bit of a pain to reach
Yeah that gear oil needed changing and looked like it drove again like new 👍
Thanks Mate !!! Cheers 🇨🇦
Nice job on the transmission. I too have heard multiple reasons why you should, or should not, service the transmission. Personally, I'd rather be safe than sorry and opt for changing all the fluid and the filter.
BTW, what's up with your C4? Still tucked away until Spring?
Hello my friend! Thanks for watching me tinker with my daughter's car. The C4 now lives in the same small garage where I did this service. I just pulled it outside for a couple of hours. Was a cold day but clear, no snow ❄️
@@pstreetgarage7304 I for one am looking forward to more videos of you and that very sharp car of yours!
@@ROXSTARCorvette4371 Thanks! Will have to do more once the weather turns
