Genuine Honda (25430-PLR-003) Transmission Filter

Transmission hasn’t exploded yet. Put this on an 05 element with 264k miles and the automatic transmission and it fit the stock bracket put 12k miles on it so far.

This is genuine ATF from Honda, Made in Japan. It’s cheaper from Honda dealers but still genuine parts. Make sure to buy from Amazon as the seller. Installation for Honda Civic 2006-2011 is straightforward. You should remove the air box to approach to the transmission line and have a C-shaped plier in hand to assist in the process.

Its working fine (2005 Honda CR-V)

Im hesitate of flushing out my transmission fluid , my Honda has 245k miles and I don’t have previous records if it’s ever been changed out from when I got it at 190k but I decided to change out the filter doubting it would make a big difference , I was very wrong . I noticed that my transmission shifts were slightly getting more & more noticeable and my 3rd to 4th gear felt like it was slipping every now and then , I was then thinking of replacing the transmission solenoid but this filter did wonders and completely eliminated the slippage as well as made each gear shift smooth as butter :0 definitely worth the money , the only one downside i had was installing the filter took some time, definitely recommend getting hose pliers to make the job easier but can be done without them

Pro.1. Half the price of the dealership.2. looks and feels exactly the same as the OEM one.3. It slides right in without any problems.Cons.1. What a hassle to put it in. Must remove Air intake hose and housing. A total pain to get the metal clamp loose from the ATF lines, Must use an angled plier to do it. Took me a while to get a firm grip on them. Spend 30 min just to find the right angle and plier to get them loose.Anyway. at 160,xxx miles, my 06 Accord never got a ATF filter change, I got around 3 Quarts of fluids out today underneath the car, and I replace this filter. To be honest, I did not notice a huge change in the quality of my ride. But for only 25 bucks, I think I can change it without breaking my bank.Anyway, Good luck out there .DIYers. Be patient and have fun.

Filter is a genuine part ,Perfect fit Difficult to remove and replace as there is not much room,I got access through the top although some people say you can access through the underside which I feel is much more difficult.After removing the Air cleaner top box and filter and laying it out of the way (no disconnecting wire harness) loosen back air duct hose clamp only, pull front air duct from box then remove spring clamps and lines that attach hoses to box, you now have access to filter clamp 10mm bolt then remove front inlet hoses from steel line (Do not disconnect hoses at filter for now ) then remove spring clamp from back side of hose(very difficult) tight access ,pull on filter to slide filter and hose off back steel tubing After transferring hoses to new filter,I used a needle nose vise grip to slightly compress the spring clamp over the back hose to slip the clamp over the back steel line past the ridge.Note that the filter can only go on 1 way as the filter clamp will not seat if you have the filter backwards before installing the back hoses (very important) once back rubber hose is properly attached to steel lines reconnect all removed hoses and filter clamp and reinstall air box ,service transmission (approx 3 quarts Honda fluid only) Done. Took me about 2 hours

This is a great product. I could instantly notice the difference in performance.

Good
