Hey Guys i got a question, i am about to get my auto transmission flushed, also i got a 91 accord with 220,000 miles on it, and i am not sure if its ever had a flush before was my cousins and she pasted it on to me seeing that shes a girl i bet it has'nt been change so i think it would be a good idea to get it flushed but i hear things like if you get it flushed on a old car then the transmisson with crap out after about 4 gas tanks fill ups, so what do you guys think Flush or no flush being that its a old car with a lot of mileage on it.
( couldnt find any info on trans flush on a high mileage car so that why i posted)

 

drain and fill multiple times

 

Do NOT flush Honda Accord trannies.

Drain and fill and only use Honda ATF.

 

I asked several mechanics (one a transmission specialist) this question about my 98 accord with 93K miles. They said don't mess with it. I asked the honda dealer mechanic and he said do it, moreover he said they flush the transmission with 12 quarts of honda atf with a conditioner added to help clean it, then they refill with fresh fluid. He also told me it would cost $149 and take about 45 minutes. In the end, I decided not to chance messing with it. It's a tough call, there is no clear answer. The more people you ask, the more opinions you will get. Good luck.

 

dude, just drain it once and refill it and come back to us with an answer/reaction...please do it.

ive done it to the camry and my accord (but an auto) and i am both satisfies after every draina nd fill.

 

what he said

 

I say again... Honda Accord trannies are NOT to be flushed. This is common knowledge. Just look at other posts on the board here. If a mechanic is recommending this, STAY AWAY from them.

Do a fluid CHANGE only or just tell whoever that this is ALL you want done. And use Honda ATF only.

 

I'm not disagreeing with you, but I am saying that Honda trained mechanic's at the dealership do. They have a machine to flush the tranny.

 

it's a waste of money.

 

find a different dealership, sheesh!!!!
