Im told by the dealer that only the 3.2 tranny filter is changeable
Please verify this for me. He looked it up and said the filter is a permanent non servicable part of the tranny assy.
Please help
Thanks

 

Sorry for the double post guys

 

I have a 2.5 97, I changed the tranny filter myself.
So he does not know. It may not be a recomended maintenance item, but it can be changed.

 

I was at the dealer today to replace exhaust cat under the wonderful 14 year 150K warranty. They had a price for a transmission flush 75. Thought it was a good price but then they said they cant get the filter or gasket so its just drain and fillup. I'm in NY. Unreal that a dealer is having this much trouble with their own brand.

 

They know about it, they just don't want to do the job. It is a messy job w/ loss of fluid inevitable. It would take at least 1 hour of labor, perhaps more. Trans pan has to be removed. Acura has the parts (inlet screen, oring, and new pan gasket) for sale.

good luck
