Even though they charged $11 for shipping, my total price was still half of what the dealerships wanted. I ordered my parts online from because they're actually local to me, and the parts showed up quickly. I tried buying my parts (see the right-hand side of namegoeshere's link) from a couple of local dealerships, but they wanted something like $66 for them (not including the fluids!). After four drain/refills and the filter change, it's beautifully smooth again. After three drain/refills, it was better. I have a 2004 V6 at 99K miles, and my transmission has been shifting harder for at least the last 9K miles so I did the (first) ATF and filter swap this morning. I also find this post from 2007 to be helpful: The link that namegoeshere provides is excellent. The V6 has a filter that's a little tougher to get to. The Magnefine thing is for the I4 and not the V6. ![]() key word for Canadian coffee, think of Starbucks but with the added element of transmission oil, brused hands, frozen noses, bad back etc etc the “bad” transmission that was installed down south? Any ideas about other sources? Did Canadians get a better deal with the “good” transmission vs. Wikipedia may be wrong but still have to cross reference this with other source. Wikipedia lists the BAYA transmission next to the 05 Accord :dunno: Odd. I checked the label on mine that is somewhat visible (the bar code on it is almost whipped out but the serial number still visible) it says BAYA. Wikipedia lists the 03 accord with either a MAYA, MCLA or MDKA transmission. Also, both the engine oil drain and transmission drain bolts are dry no signs of oil on them. Visual inspection around the filter housing and under the car: I left a large piece of cardboard under the car overnight after I drove it and this morning I don't see any stains on the cardboard. I have a habit of checking everything a day after for leaks etc etc. went out driving, had a double-double (Canadian secret word LOL) and came home to take a hot shower and my back is killing me!ĭay after. from another forum) for pointing out to us that there is a filter after all hard to getĪ few more pics, sorry about the quality, click here.Īs always, a huge thank you to NVA-AV6 (. Parts used for the 03 v6 auto H5 MAYA (could be MCLA) transmission: They should have known better not to with me in the first place. All stealerships in Ottawa now think I am stealing food from their kids mouths.To get to that filter you need to remove the stock intake filter box (mine is already gone since I have a CAI).There is a spring behind the filter in the housing, not that hard to put it in place by "feeling" if it is in place as you put the filter in.The bottom bolt of the housing wasn't easy to remove even though all 3 little bolts appear to have anti-seize on them from the factory. ![]() The 3 little 10mm bolts that hold the cover of the filter housing in place don't need washers, or at least didn't have any. ![]() There is only 1 washer that goes on the big 17mm bolt (that allows the oil to flow in to the filter).No difference in tranny performance, wasn’t expecting any (changed the oil too, still smooth auto shifting as usual).The old filter is hard rock solid, doubt anything can flow through it.A little video of the nice new pink one going in.
