I love how Honda cars are very easy to maintenance. This brand it's all about its customers. I personally own a 2011 CRV and do a lot of work myself. Love my car and it's relatability. Great video. I'll be changing the transmission fluid the next weekend and was thinking about changing the filter. This video was very helpful to decide to go for it. Thanks, man.
Good thing you have a 2011 it looks very straightforward. I just did a 2013 and the thing is buried under the air handler box and one of the tubes is very hard to get out. Nice job
I just picked up some transmission fluid for my 2008 CRV LX 2wd. I asked one of the service guys about replacing the filter of the transmission and they told me the filter was in the middle of the transmission. Are there multiple filters for the 3rd gen CR-V transmissions?
The Honda dealership also sells these filters you just have to bring the part number in case Amazon doesn’t have it. I ended up paying 55.00 dollars for mine gonna change the transmission fluid while I’m at it
Thanks for the video! How much fluid needs to be replaced? Necessary to relieve pressure somehow before? Have new fluid in the transmission so I don’t want to do a full flush and replace.
Hi. Very informative video. Can I ask you what model do you have? I have a Honda crv 2007 petrol automatic 2.0 engine 4x4, and I could not find the filter on the same location you have showed on this clip. I have seen though a filter just like the one on your clip under the engine air filter housing. Do you think it is the transmission filter on my car? Thank you
Well done video that is easy to follow, well done. 👍 Question, do you know if the filter has a built-in magnet to capture metal shavings not caught by the filter itself?
@@MrRangerZr1 Not sure if my 07 filter was ever changed when I got it at 111k. It now has 135k, probably should do it, yes? Fluid has already been changed.
Is this video taken from the perspective of looking at it from the front or back of the filter? Should the ridge on the filter face the drivers or passenger side?
Hello Sir, great video! I have a quick question, it appears that you did not remove the entire cover. Did you just remove some of the pop rivets and work around the cover drooping down? Thanks!
@@MrRangerZr1 thanks, I got it changed without removing the entire piece. Those hose clamps were a pain to pinch with the pliers that I have. I alternated between my needle nose and lineman pliers.
I didn't know these had an external filter. Rockauto doesn't list these filters. Only the internal units. I'm due for a trans fluid change so I ahould do this too. Do you have the Honda part #?
Hi, i'm going to change the transmission fluid today. I got all the parts including this filter. At what point in my transmission fluid change should I put in the new filter ? Thanks.
Looks extremely similar to how it's done on a 2006 CRV as well. I think it's pretty safe to assume if you've got a Gen 2 CRV (2002-2006) this will basically get you through changing yours out. It's not a difficult job at all.
can you change your ATF filter without changing the fluid? Or do you have to drain the fluid first, then unplug the filter? If I don't drain the ATF, will the fluid burst everywhere if I just change the ATF filter? reason I'm asking is because I did a transmission fluid 5000 miles ago, and the dealer's saying there's some rust on the filter.
Thanks for the video! I currently own a Honda CRV 1999, it has been having transmission issues such as the car when its on drive or any shifts, it doesn't move, just idling. I did replace the solenoids, still have the issue. Today I flushed out the transmission fluid and it was heavy black and put new fluid which was the Valvoline MaxLife fluid and it moved slightly couple feet reverse and forward. Then again cant move. That means the filter is clogged and need a new one? On the Honda CRV 1999 the filter is located in under the back of the vehicle correct? I have a extra gallon for the fluid because I was using the 1st gallon to flush out the transmission but the filter needs to be changed because its clogged correct? Has never been changed since 1999. Once I change the filter and put the extra gallon again, will it work like a charm?
Thanks! When I drive my Honda CRV (2011) backward (R gear) I got this whining noise, is that a sign that I should replace my transmission filter? Thanks!
Mine is 2007 crv. It's slipping, difficult to get to the second gear and once it changes to the second gear, it begins to slip. Please could it be the filter or what's actually the problem. I really need help. Thank you
Hello...Thank you for your video. I don't want to bother you...but I am desperate for advice. I recently purchased a 2009 Honda CRV, low mileage, automatic. The gear shift stick is getting harder to move everyday. Do you think the transmission filter could be the problem? The last 2 mechanics I took my other car to did poor repair work. So I am trying do do research before I try a 3rd mechanic. Signed... Please help...in tears...
If it's hard to move the gear selector, then the cables are binding up somewhere. From the gear shift inside the car to the transmission there is a cable. You might have to change the entire gear selector in the car. If you're rough with the shifter, overtime it'll cause issues like you're having.
Its been almost 30k miles since my last transmission fluid change. About to do one and I'm thinking of replacing the filter as well. Do you think this will resolve any hard shift issues? The thing shifts life you're driving a manual and not rev matching. Very unpleasant for an auto
@@MrRangerZr1 Very true. I remember last time I had it changed it shifted silky smooth for about a month then it started shifting hard again. It really does need a change tho
The Amazon link to the filter says it is not compatible with a 2008 Honda CRV . I was at the dealer today and I asked the service department about a transmission filter for my 2008 LX (2WD); they said the only transmission filter is internal and is very labor intensive just to get the filter. Is there something I'm missing here?
Of course they will say that. The link to the filter fits 2007-2011 CRVs, along with other cars like 2011-2017 odyssey. Never rely on amazon's fitment, it is off 9/10 times.
@@MrRangerZr1 I spoke with their parts department and verified that is indeed a legit ATF filter for my 08 LX CR-V. The dealer wants $75 in labor to change it. I'm going to get someone else to do it.
@@MrRangerZr1 Got the filter and put it in today. Simple. Hardest part was getting those undercarriage clips off (as always) Might be worth a mention Amazon that their info is wrong? Happy to mention it, as I'm sure they'll be sending me a survey any day now, lol. Thanks again for all the help and video etc! I can definitely tell a difference in the shifting : )
It can but it's rare. If your transmission started to slip then you need a rebuild/replacement. Try using lucas transmission oil additive or lube guard.
@@MrRangerZr1 Just wanted to chime in here - a transmission slip does not always mean you need a rebuild or replace - there are multiple causes for transmission slippage: fluid level low, sometimes even if fluid level too high, solenoid and valve body issues can also cause slippage, and don't require complete transmission rebuild or replace. A trustworthy mechanic who has tons of experience with transmission issues can properly deduce the cause and proper course of action. Something else to note on these Honda transmission filters -- the market is flooded with very cheap replacements, but note that almost none of those cheaper versions has the bypass valve system that the true original OEM Honda filters have --- this bypass is truly a must-have when it comes to your transmission, because if the filter gets too clogged, the bypass will allow fluid to still circulate into the transmission - without it, you can have significant issues. The OEM Honda part is indeed upwards of 3X more, but this isn't an area to go cheap on.
So Do you agree not to use the non-Honda brand filters? I assume that JF cut a filter open and inspected the inner workings before making the statement about the bypass valve. If there was a bypass valve that would defeat the purpose of the filter process , no?
@@MrRangerZr1 When I checked in Amazon, "This does not fit your 2005 Honda CRV". Honda Automatic Transmission Filter ##25430-PLR-003 Other questions: 1.

How did it go? I heard it is not recommended to change the filter until 200k + miles
I didn’t know about transmission filter. I went to dealer for replace transmission fluid but not replace transmission filter. Thank you for sharing.
Same here. The dealer changed my transmission fluid but never mentioned a filter.
Thanks very much for a straightforward and helpful video with no BS or bumbling around!
I have done it following your video. Thank you so much from Spain. Saved lots of money doing myself instead taking it to the mechanic.
I really like the silence, and no crazy music in the back round

I’m female. Wish to do easily like you. Helpful video.
You can do!
Easy peasy lemon squeezy, thank you.
I did this at the same time I did a spill and fill on my transmission fluid. You'll need 4 quarts of fluid but you will use about 3 1/2.
The Honda dealership also sells these filters you just have to bring the part number in case Amazon doesn’t have it. I ended up paying 55.00 dollars for mine gonna change the transmission fluid while I’m at it
What is the recommended change interval for this filter? It is nice how at the end you show the canister cut open, revealing the inner pleated filter.
Can you make a video on how to replace the transmission filter in a 2012-2014 CRV?
YOU ARE THE F***ing MAN! I can't believe I found a video without 10 minutes of blabbing before ACTUALLY showing the repairs. You are the F***ing MAN!
Yessirrr that's how we only do it on this channel
looks easy enough. Mine is leaking where the spring clamps hold the hose to the filter.
Thanks for the video.

How much fluid needs to be replaced?
Necessary to relieve pressure somehow before?
Have new fluid in the transmission so I don’t want to do a full flush and replace.
Fluid lose is very minimal and no need of relieving anything.

How often should one change the transmission filter? Should it be changed every 30,000 miles (during ATF fluid flush/change)? Thanks!
about 100k i would say, fluid every 30k
Well done video that is easy to follow, well done. 👍
Question, do you know if the filter has a built-in magnet to capture metal shavings not caught by the filter itself?
To my knowledge, no.
Can't believe they made it so simple. Thought drain plug in the transmission pan was a huge leap forward.
Wish the rest of the cars were this simple
How often do you recommend changing the filter? Thank for video!
I would change it before 100k miles.
@@MrRangerZr1 Not sure if my 07 filter was ever changed when I got it at 111k.

@@sbrave No issues at all changing it now. The crv in this video had 250k miles and it's still rolling down the road.
Thank you very much for the video. Every how many miles should this filter be changed?
I would change it once before 100k miles
Great video. Can this be done without lifting the car up?
Will be tight, i had this on ramps.
Is this video taken from the perspective of looking at it from the front or back of the filter? Should the ridge on the filter face the drivers or passenger side?
Watch the beginning it’s in the front
Great video! Do you replace the filter ever time you change the oil or just at 100,000 miles?
Personally I change my filter every other fluid change but changing it before 100k miles is fine. Fresh fluid is more important.
Hello Sir, great video! I have a quick question, it appears that you did not remove the entire cover. Did you just remove some of the pop rivets and work around the cover drooping down? Thanks!
I believe so, no need to remove every single piece, as long as you can get access.
