How do I flush the Automatic Transmission?
The transmission on my 1999 RL is starting to shift a little abruptly. I intend to flush the transmission myself in hopes of smoothing things out a bit.
What is the best way to flush out the transmission fluid? Also, any detailed tips such as fluid capacity, correct type of fluid, drain plug location, etc., would be very helpful.

call any dealership parts dept. and they will tell you how much to fill then multiply it by 3......Avoid Flushing unless you are a transmission expert from Honda......

Do the drain and fill a few times. Follow this thread:

You don't want to use Honda fluid each time (It becomes to expensive) Also, buy a new ATF filter.
www.rockauto.com
has an entire package which includes the filter, and o-ring and gasket which all need to be replaced.
Do the tranny flush first then, right before you fill up with HOnda fluid the last time, drop the oil pan and replace the filter.
