Thanks! I have done a lot of work on my Element, including flushing and changing trans fluid, but I never knew about this filter! It's running great, so I will wait for some warmer weather, but this job is now high on my list. The only thing I would do different from you, is to run it and check for leaks before re-installing the cover.
Thank you for commenting
My sister's 2004 Honda Element transmission filter began to drip fluid and so I replaced it. It was a nightmare to replace because it was in such a tight location. A rental tenant's wife had a Element with a rusted leaking transmission filter and I didn't know about it leaking. She lost her transmission. The engine starter for my mother's 2008 Honda Element had failed recently and I'm in the process of replacing it. Had to remove the intake manifold and other parts just to get at the starter. Now that I have more working space around the engine I decided to also replace the transmission filter and radiator hoses. Never thought I would work on cars again.
I have Honda CRV 2007 US Build ... Just recommend when you replace starter, change Cooling Pipe or Heater Pipe. I had leaking that stupid pipe .I made mistake , when I replaced starter from bottom car Two Years before .. it's must be done from top engine ... . That Cooling Pipe have a vey bad location ,and better to change ,when you doing starter job. And same time replace Thermostat and Thermostat Housing, if needs ... Good Luck !!!!!
Have an 09’ CRV......uses same 25430-PLR-003 filter. When I went to the dealer he said there was no filter, I gave him the part # and he had it in stock, I paid $20. This was in about 2019. I think Amazon/eBay also carry it. Thanks....Jim
PS......reason for this filter change? The trans was shuttering between 3 and 4 gears at about 40mph. I drove car till it was hot, drained trans oil. Refilled trans oil. Drove the car for 10 miles, drained trans oil again, changed filter. Refilled oil again. This was 20,000 miles ago, today the car has 120,000 miles, with no trans shuttering. Problem solved.
Thanks for sharing
I also have an identical ‘07 Silver SC Element that I bought new….. I have performed all maintenance myself….. I’ve changed my trans fluid regularly, but not the filter. I’ll do it now!
It’s only got 91,000 miles….. I’ve owned 32 cars in my lifetime….. but I’ve had this SC longer than any car, and it’s absolutely my favorite! I’m so glad I found your video! 👍
Awesome, I’ve had 0 issues on this vehicle , I’m at 126,000 and started using this more and more for camping
I change my own fluid all the time but never knew about this filter. Thanks
Love to chat, anytime this week is good
Dan, incredible job with the video! Clear, concise, & clever 🤝
Appreciate the favorable feedback
👍🏼
Very clear video and I love your hose clamp tool!
Thanks for taking the time to send a positive comment, appreciated
Great video!!! To the point, there are others vids, but this is the best!!!
I appreciate you taking the time to compliment this video
Thank you for easy instruction. Going to do mine tomorrow!
You’re welcome
Thank you sir for cleared explanation..
Thank you for making this video. Now I know exactly how to replace my transmission oil filter.
Good luck 👍🏼
Thank you for making this video!
My pleasure!
Thanks bro you helped us out alot!
You’re welcome, thanks for sharing
Thanks For Explaining Clamp Tool And The End
You’re welcome
Great job, Thanks so much🔧🔨🚙
You’re welcome
Great video. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Nice clip tool.. Clever
thank you
Danny, I would have changed the transmission cooler lines and flushed the cooler with some flushing solvent or brake parts cleaner. Also, instead of using the Honda filter I would have installed a Magnafine filter instead. And if you really want your transmission to last as long as possible, give your cooling system/radiator a good flush and install an after market cooler, like a Hayden for example.
Buena información, good Job 👏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
thanks you
Thank you.
You're welcome!
I put off doing this for ages. When I installed a transmission cooler on my Element I had to take off the bumper and access was a bit easier so I went ahead and did it. It was a bit fiddly but I got it done. Not sure it makes much of a difference unless you've had major contamination in your transmission but it certainly can only help.
Thanks for adding this, glad it worked out
Thanks so much
Appreciate your gratitude
👏🏿You the best💪🏾 👍🏿👍🏿 🙌🏿
Appreciate you
good job
thanks you
this is why i got the manual
I never knew this. I have 263, 000 miles. This is high on my list
Definitely get it taken care of
Just replaced mine today, after having the part stare at me for 2 years. I pinched off both hoses to reduce fluid spills before unplugging. Old filter was badly clogged. Could not blow through it. The new filter did reduce the whining noises I was having. Now the fluid can cool off a bit.
Nice job, they aren’t easy to replace, thank you for commenting
Did you take the filter apart to check out what was in it?
What are jack stands? I guess none is just as good as the harbor freight ones🤷
I have never done this but we will have too
thanks you
nice work...well done!
Thanks a lot!
Blue prints are the how to video, I cover the steps in the video, sorry no blue prints ever made.
here is the part number for the filter from Honda 25430 PLR 003
Thanks
I have a 06 EX-P 5 speed manual same transmission filter? FYI great VIDEO Thanks.
Louis N. Manuals don’t have a filter
@@dannysdiygarage Thanks great to know.
It would be a good idea to change that fluid.....Jim
what did you make the Clamp Tool From?
i just bought an 03 it runs amazing !no slips or anything but some times it randomly feels like i drove over rumble strips,(only did it 2 times ) just for a second then its fine . think this could be the problem ? autozone cant locate the right filter so i guess ill order that .
Are you driving over 45 with your foot slightly accelerating at this time,? And it’s just a quick chatter or does it continue for 2 to 5 seconds?
@@dannysdiygarage I didn't notice speed but it was just for a second I let off the gas and it goes away
Here is what I suspect, torque converter clutch, or ignition miss, do you need me to tell you how to determine which it is?
@@dannysdiygarage I did notice my passenger side axle had play in it as the driver side doesn't. I did the fluid change today I didn't get to drive it far enough to see if it happened again ,but I do hear a lil noise in my passenger axle .so I believe that might be part of my problem also lol
@@killaklown1080 hopefully that is the issue, make sure you get a quality axle. cheep axle will cause more issues later down the line
Danny, I just bought a 2006 Element EX-P with AT and164k miles. The trans shifts great except for going into first. When I go from Park or N into Drive it hesitates for a second or two before it makes a noticeable (but not loud) clunk engaging first gear. It (sometimes) behaves similarly when driving and it downshifts to first just before coming to a stop. I have done one trans fluid change with Honda fluid after buying the car but have not had filter changed or done any additional drain and fills of the trans. (I have been told doing 3 successive drain and fills can help with restoring good trans performance - do you concur?) I plan to have the filter changed but was also curious to see that you changed the filter before changing the fluid which I was confused by. Does the filter not get dirty from the old fluid?
Thanks very much for your help.
Healthy fluid is good for the transmission, so yes make sure it’s red and doesn’t have a burnt smell, yes definitely change the filter last, as far as my fluid in my vehicles, once it hit 60k I changed it every 15k, my fluid always stay red and healthy
Thanks, it's a good tip, I need help, Do you know how to deal whit the D blinking?.
Sorry I am not sure what you are asking
I believe they are inquiring about the D light on on PRNDL indicator on the gauge cluster. If it is flashing it indicates that there is a transmission DTC present and will need to be read using a scan tool.
Hey Danny I was wondering if you have ever replaced the timming belt on the element ? Mine sounds like it's going to give out soon wanted to see if you had any advice.
No belt, it’s a chain
@@dannysdiygarage I'm getting a weird sound coming from that area. Not sure what it could be.
Alternator, belt tensioner, power steering? What’s the sound?
@@dannysdiygarage so I just found out it's the water pump
@@ReadySetElement Sometimes the AC compressors also develop a whine when engaged. This usually happens when one of the fans fails resulting in greater high side pressures, causing the compressor to wear prematurely. Always check and see if both fans are working well with the AC on.
Thx u for ur video, most helpful. 👍🏽 Questions❓ If u r going to change the transmission fluid & filter, would it not be best to drain the transmission fluid first, then remove filter? This way the old oil is not going into the new filter? I hv 05 LX same parts number for filter? Thx
Yes, I agree, however it probably doesn’t make a big difference
I just picked up an 08 element and am building the swerky design now! My element sounds like its going over rumble strips at around 40mph sometimes ~2k rpm. Its not a steering or suspension rumble it feels like the transmission…do you think a fluid flush could solve this?
Probably not, but it's worth a try, this might be your torque converter, I have heard that a few Element owners have flushed their transmission two or three times and the shutter went away, good luck and let me know it it fixed it.
Used to have the same issue. Did a 3x drain and fill on my 07 EX auto and 20k+ miles later no shudder since. Did a check on the fluid the other day and it’s smelling burnt so I’m replacing it again. Hoping it’s just from general use.
I second the guess of a bad torque converter. Mine felt the same as described and after a transmission fluid change did nothing to correct it, the shop discovered a bad torque converter.
I bought my element last month and it has 240k miles and I have no information if the prior owners did change the transmission oil. I am really considering to change it but I want to know if the car will slip after doing it.
It should not, Unless it’s slipping now
Did you cut it open to see what was inside of the filter?
No, I did not
Ok I’m late to the video since I just got an element. One thing I’m confused by with changing my transmission fluid is the filter. When I look up tutorial videos like yours, the filter is round cylinder shape in every video. However, whenever I look up “transmission filter” on rock auto or any parts store, they offer a completely different square flat shaped filter and don’t even have the round cylinder shaped filter. Why is that and where does the flare square shaped filter even go because there is no information on that other filter?
It’s called a transmission auxiliary cooler filter, for years I was told my Element did not have a transmission filter, some where in my comments I have the part number
Hope this clarifies
Also the filter in the transmission is the flat aware one, the transmission would need to come apart to install this during a rebuild situation
Does this also work with the manual transmission??
There is not a filter on the manual transmission 👍🏼
Hey great video what is the part called or a part number !
25430 PLR 003 is the part numbers
@@dannysdiygarage is there two of these or are they here two different kinds ?
On the car 07 Honda Element
They call it a transmission cooler filter I believe, 25430 PLR 003 and yes 07 is my vehicle
Can i use the same filter for 03 element? Amazon says not compatible. Thank you
I’m not sure, I’m pretty sure it’s the same
@@dannysdiygarage oh yes you're right. It is the same. Thank you!
I’m retired, savvy, mechanical &up2 task. It looks like u hv an SC w/OEM wheels. I’m sure u’ve noticed the harsh ride. I’ve been looking 4a reasonable solution. I bought some progressive springs that are softer but they lower the vehicle about 1.7” &r noisy. I don’t expect perfection. But this bouncy harsh ride is ridiculous. I’ve considered:
1. Rear dual adjustable coil overs (dampening, rebound)
2. Custom progressive rear springs
2. Custom air bags over springs
3. Rear air suspension w/large air bags4 comfort& compressibility
4. Change out the 18” wheels for OEM 16”. (I don’t wanna. I like my SC wheels.)
Your practical solution mind &SC ownership is what prompted me2 ask. I’ve read quite a bit here& there much of which concentrates on lowering. The short wheelbase, short tire sidewalls & reformulated suspension r all factors.Your ideas on softening w/o ride height changes please.
hey, i recently swapped SC struts and springs onto my normal element, and it takes no fabrication or anything, so its likely that normal element struts and springs would go onto an sc with no issue. The normal element has a much better ride, but handles worse, which is why I changed out. If you dont want your ride height to go any higher, you could swap out for normal element struts but keep the SC springs, though it might be slightly hard because of the SC spring rates.
Additionally, i put on 15 inch rims from the factory 16, and personally didnt notice any difference
Yes, it’s definitely bouncy and it’s the character of this beast, I’ve never thought about changing it though, however last time I got tire it was even worse. I found lower air pressure and softer rubber help a little, this is all I have to add
Good luck keep us posted on what helps if anything
@@potatosfortots9909 the 18” wheels, lowered stance &sport tuned suspension all contribute 2the harsh ride. I used run 40psi in Z-rated tires &get beat up something terrible. But she cornered like a Saleen. W/a full tank &4 adults onboard, she rides 75% better. She really likes weight in the rear as it preloads her rear coils &cures much of that god awful bounce. A loaded trailer w/a full tank has a similar calming effect.
I reduced my tire pressure to 35psi in all season touring tires &that took about 30% of the bounce away. Later I bought some new OEM SENSEN rear struts &put on the only progressively wound coils that I could find by ST SUSPENSIONS #60283. They were rated 4a 2” drop in the rear of a regular Element. They dropped mine 1.7” & took another 50% off of the ride harshness &bounce away. Those coils r short &a little noisy.
I’m convinced that similarly progressively wound, full 10” height, coated rear coils combined w/ dual adjustable struts would solve my problem w/o sacrificing my SC’s sport tuned nature. It’s tuned for carrying 4 x 250lb men on an oval track. It’s simply overkill.
@@potatosfortots9909does any1 make OEM style rear struts w/adjustable dampening & rebound? I can get custom, progressively wound & coated rear coils.
@@ct4cf Yeah its a hard compromise unless you drop insane ammounts of money on coilovers. When i had my rear springs next to the SC springs, the sc springs were much thicker and tighter wound, but looked to be around the same height. I personally like the overkill suspension design, but I understand why some might not like it. When i picked up my familly from the airport the other day they definetly noticed the harsher ride.
I did look for adjustable struts, but personally couldnt find anything. If you want to look though, the acura RSX struts might fit, meaning that their aftermarket adjustsable struts could work, but they likely wouldnt be valved correctly for the vehicle
best of luck
Does the manual transmission have the same filter?
No filter on the manual
@@dannysdiygarage Thank you!
Do you know how much a Honda service center would charge me for this job?
Not very mechanical, lol…I have a 07 lx, 152k…thanks, best wishes, Jake
I do not know, the way prices are, I would guess $300. But that’s a guess
dammit Dan ~ ya can't work on a vehicle w/o a buncha cussin ... looks like beer O'Clock ~ good vid
Thanks Mike
It's odd that Honda doesn't list this as a routine maintenance item, when every other filter, for essentially everything eventually needs to be replaced. At my next transmission fluid change, I'm going to do it because I have to imagine it wouldn't hurt to change out a 10 year old filter.
My thought also, at some point it will plug or deteriorate, I cut open my filter and it didn’t look great, I’m changing this on my Honda civic also this weekend, I’ll do a video for this.
Thanks for commenting.
@@dannysdiygarage Exactly. I have a 2010 Honda Element, hence the reason I found your video. Thank you for making them!
They getting paid
Who’s getting paid
Which direction does the fluid flow? Thanks!
