Does anyone knows that where is drain plug for transmission fluid located on 2003 Honda odyssey please don't reply with answer to buy manual thanks aps?

Answer 1

There is NOT a pan for this transmission, but there is a drain plug for the transmission. It is located on the bottom of the transaxle, just to the driver's side of center and can be identified by looking for the round head with a square in the middle. It is removed by placing a 3/8" drive wrench loosely into the square head and turning counter clockwise. NOTE: Not all of the Transmission Fluid will be drained. To do a complete change, drain out what will drain and replace with new fluid every 1,000 miles three times, then increase the interval to every 15,000 miles. Since only about 1/3 of the fluid will drain out, the theory is that by doing that once every 1,000 miles, after 3,000 miles all of the fluid will be new. The Haynes manual has the best instructions for this simple procedure. Be sure to measure how much fluid is removed so as to replace with that exact amount of fluid. If the recall has been completed on the transmission, you will be adding through the transmission line on the top of the transmission. The filter does not need to be serviced and it is imperative to use the Honda ATF Z1 fluid. The original design had a flawed oiler assembly for second gear (hence the recall) so it is best to baby these transmissions.

AnswerMany automatic transmission pans do not have drain plugs; You will need to slowly drop the pan and allow the fluid to drain into LARGE pan. AnswerThis transmission has no drain plug. The filter is also not serviceable. To get to the filter the transmission must be removed and dissembled. In other words the filter is a lifetime filter. You can just remove the fluid line from the radiator and drain the transmission with the trans pump. Warning! Be sure and use only Honda ATF Z1 fluid and nothing else. Use anything else and your transmission will not shift properly. Some quick lube shops will tell you they have a substitute that works, but do not believe it. Insist on Honda Z1 fluid.

ANSWER:

You need a 3/8 ratchet to remove the drain bolt. standing from the back of the car it is to the left of the transmission on the lower part of the case. it is the only bolt thatthe head of a 3/8 ratchet will fit into. when you remove it clean the drain bolt offfrom the metallic parts and dirt and change the crush washer then use the same ratchet to tighten it.
