Changing an automatic to a manual transmission involves a lot of work. First, the brake pedal must be changed to a manual brake/clutch installation. Additionally, a separate bell housing, clutch mechanism, shifter and linkage are required.
The automatic transmission filter is pretty much buried inside the transmission, and is not easily accessed.
If it has a manual trans... easily yes. If it has an automatic transmission, you will need to isolate the drivetrain from the transmission, or else you will burn out the seals & bushings. For 2 wheel drive vehicles, this means removing the driveshaft & installing a shipping plug in the rear of the tranny. For 4x4 trucks, you can usually accomplish this by placing the transfer case in neutral.
Sounds like the transmission filter is partially clogged. The colder temperature makes the fluid thicker and it flows less easily through the filter in cold temperatures. Have the transmission serviced. Change all the fluid and the filter. I would not recommend you have the transmission flushed as you more than likely have lots of miles on this vehicle. Flushing the transmission at this juncture may stir up trouble. Just drain and refill.
Basically, you don't. The filter is not easily available in the CD4E automatic transmission. It doesn't have a bottom pan, so it would need to be disassembled to get at the filter.
The only easily done maintenances for a manual or automatic transmission is the transmission fluid change. While Chevy says that this should be done every 100,000 miles, I did mine at 50,000 with royal purple and the transmission has been fantastic since then. I am currently at 85,000 with an original clutch and transmission.
Assuming you are referring to the shift lever position of an automatic transmission, "L" refers to "Low" or "First" gear. It is the highest ratio forward gear of the transmission and is intended to move the car most easily from a standing start.
If you get underneath the jeep you can easily see, if the lines go directly into the bellhousing, then its internal, my jeep has an internal
Very easily...
yes,its called the tcu and its located between the drivers and passengers feet area,remove the side covers [2 screws] and you can see it easily.
On the outside of the transmission housing. It is on the passenger side and can be accessed easily if the passenger front tire is removed. The plug is the completely round one with the 3/8" square in it. You remove it by putting a 3/8" drive on it with no socket.
Look under the front of the Pilot. The drain plugs for the transmission and engine are both under the front and both have labels next to them marked ENGINE OIL and TRANSMISSION OIL. I suggest you get the Haynes manual for the Honda Pilot which explains how to do all this easily. Good luck.
Yes, if the engine and transmissions are the same.
