#6100 of 6444 Re: Transmission Fluid service - 3 successive fluid exchanges needed? [srizvi1] by bigdadi118 Jan 29, 2009 (11:07 am)
Replying to: srizvi1 (Jan 29, 2009 10:31 am) Honda advises not to do tranny flush. Only drain n fill is recommended. Of course 3 is better than one. I will take the 3 one.   Remember to use ONLY Honda brand tranny fluid.   Remove bolt and about 3 quarts of transmission fluid will be drained. The drain bolt is magnetic and will have to be cleaned of metal particles when removed. After fully drained, replace plug, and add 2.7 quarts of Honda transmission fluid. Honda claims you must use Honda fluid in order to prevent damage, and for transmission to shift properly.   Just a side note: This change only replaces about half the fluid. --Yes, from what i am told you do a flush type fill ....that is to say that after draining and refilling you run the vehicle and then repeat: drain and refill. You do this two to four times depending on the need and filth of the fluid.

Replying to: bigdadi118 (Jan 29, 2009 3:10 am) "If the screw head has problem put a tiny drop of superglue to connect the screw driver then snap it off after screwed in."   Now that's a great tip. I bet I could send that in to one of the woodworking magazines and score some swag.

#6104 of 6444 Is there more than 1 Cabin Air Filter by dmathew347 Jan 30, 2009 (1:53 pm)
I have a 2007 CRV. The shop guy says i have to replace both (cabin air + pollen) that are situated side by side. But when i popped open the glove box, there is only one filter behind it. Is it sufficient to just replace that or is there another cabin filter hiding somewhere that i should know about?   Also, what's a good online site to get cabin filter from?   Thanks Replies to this message: yankeefan2 (Jan 30, 2009 4:57 pm)
#6105 of 6444 windshield fluid by illcar Jan 30, 2009 (2:46 pm)
Hi,   I usually use orange colored windshield fluid that is supposed to not freeze till -40F or something. But last week when the windchill was about -10F, my windshield fluid froze. It's 2008 CR-V. Anyone with same experience? Replies to this message: tidester (Jan 30, 2009 9:35 pm)

Replying to: dmathew347 (Jan 30, 2009 1:53 pm) There is only one filter. You might have to question the honesty of your shop guy,   I use three places   Bernard Parts, Handa Accessories & Honda Auto Parts, Use the one with the Cheepest Price

Replying to: illcar (Jan 30, 2009 2:46 pm) But last week when the windchill was about -10F, my windshield fluid froze.   I assume you meant that it froze after spraying it onto your windshield. Typically, the "washer fluid" is a mixture of water and some form of alcohol which tends to lower the freezing point. It will remain liquid for temperatures well below the freezing point of water - as long as it's in a closed container.   Wind will cause the very thin layer of the fluid on your windshield to evaporate quite quickly, particularly the alcohol component. This causes the remaining fluid, now mostly water, to get much colder. Unless your windshield has been warmed up (from the inside), you're left with supercooled water and it instantly leaves a thin film of ice on your windshield.   "Preheating" your windshield may help.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
#6108 of 6444 CRV by andries Feb 02, 2009 (2:51 pm)
2006 crv makes a thumping noise underneath on rough roads.Anyone else?? I think trans mounting   Crv on bad washboard makes terrible sound underneath towards back of car. Has dealership confused. I thought muffler hangers, now wondering if it is not the trans mounting rubbers wore out. New shocks have been put on.
#6109 of 6444 nolaj (first gen. CRV suddenly dies) mcdermott (small screw availability) by defielding Feb 03, 2009 (1:59 pm)
I own 2 '99 CRVs (one with a manual tranny, one with an automatic). Both of them acted like the ignition key was suddenly turned off as I was travelling down the road.at around the same mileage (160,000 km or around 100,000Miles). Both of them had the same simple problem I was able to diagnose at the side of the road. I played with the spark plug wires and was able to get the vehicle running. By further playing with the wires as the vehicle idled, it would affect the idle speed of the engine. Replacing the spark plug wires was the fix for each vehicle. This is a very simple fix that can be done at home. If any of you are using the original spark plug wires and your vehicles are getting up to the mileages listed above, change your wires as a maintanance item before they may leave you stranded.   To mcdermott, You can get the tiny replacement screws for your remote car opener key fob at any eyeglass shop Replies to this message: mcdermott (Feb 03, 2009 2:52 pm) blueiedgod (Feb 05, 2009 10:08 am)
