Honda Pilot Transmission Replacement
Vložit
- čas přidán 30. 06. 2024
- This video is (part 3) of a series where I completely rebuild a 2003 Honda Pilot to prepare it for a supercharger installation. In this episode I remove the engine and transmission from the subframe before cleaning and reconditioning it. I also show power steering rack removal and replace the outer tie rods.
Also, I show several methods for removing rusted and broken fasteners.
I hope you find the information useful and entertaining.

Painting all the little brackets and subframe and stuff is so satisfying to watch. It's a small detail but really puts the cherry on top of this restoration
I'm absolutely loving this series of videos, they gave me so much insight on my pilot from temp sensor, speed sensor, motor mounts, thermostat housing, EVERYTHING!!! Thank You Soo Much ETCG!!... God Speed Sir!!!🙌🏼🥇
Don't get mad at the power steering hose. It just crying with joy because you didn't replace it....... LoL 😆 Merry Christmas 🎄 Bro. Tanks 4 all the Great information.
Loving how the Pilot is turning out! Great job as always Eric 💪🏼 watching from Los Angeles
Merry Christmas, Eric! Thank you for all the wonderful content.
Thank you! and Merry Christmas!
EricTheCarGuy Happy New Year’s!ETCG22
Yes it was entertaining and always find your videos helpful even though I do not own any type of vehicles you work on. Apparently here in Mexico, mechanics and auto parts stores do not know nor carry silicone paste. I do plan to order one from Amazon, eventually.
This is your best videos since waaaaay back when you did the repair videos in that small garage.
15:29 "You should be jealous of my cart, you should be very jealous!" 🤣😂 Yessir, I am! Work smart, not hard! Fabulous piece of engineering there, Eric!
Being able to sit down on a stool thanks to the elevation of the cart and making a stable reassembly was about as good of a feeling, I'm sure, as it gets!
These engine/tranny swap vids are always so therapeutic for me. Happy Holidays!
Eric this is lot of work end effort to do this kind of work. This doesn't happen in America anymore with older cars. True respect and amazement on how you get to do it.
Eric many thanks for so much education and entertainment....who knew. Been driving Honda vehicles for 36 years and on my second Pilot ('15 SE) which I just did the 105K works with timing belt, water pump, pulleys and spark plugs with many thanks to you and your master tech peers at CZcams U. Appreciate all the details and wish you an excellent 2022!!
Thank you for the whole year entertainment, Merry Christmas.🎅🌲
Thank you for watching! Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Merry Christmas Eric. Yes, I am very jealous of your cart. Watching it roll so smooth with a load on top was a satisfying sight.
Merry Christmas!
Thank you very much for another perfect video of the Pilot saga.
Happy new year for you and the family Eric.
Hug from Portugal
Great video! The front coolant plug is to install an engine block heater for those lucky enough to need one. Merry Christmas!
Thanks for a great year Eric, and many more to come. Merry Christmas to you.
Merry Christmas to you too!
Merry Xmas mate. Thank you for all your efforts in producing quality content for your viewers.
Thank you! and Merry Christmas!
I replaced the steering rack on my wife’s 2008 Acura TSX. It didn’t come out nearly that easy. 😎
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Eric.
those are easy to do you don't even need to drop the whole subframe just tilt it down
Those are eazy peazy
Always great educational videos and great information on ETCG videos.Eric wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Merry Christmas!
Amazing work. So immensely helpful. I will probably need to replace my 07 pilot transmission in a few years (2nd and 3rd gear clutches are on their way out) but I don't have a garage yet. When I do I'll definitely reference off of this.
In mean time try some Lubegard Red. Put somein my iffy 2002 Odyssey trans and its made it a bit smoother.
Great tip at the end - I’ve done it; sent the old unit back and then realised I’ve left something on the old one…. Doh!
Happy Christmas Eric
Also that Transmission rebuild company did really well like factory Honda. I like how they left the serial number tag plus they didn’t paint the outside with that ugly grey paint.
It's a quality rebuild for sure. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for the video series. Great work! I have a 2004 Pilot with 193K and will look to do some of the maintenance. Happy New Year!
Fantastic, as usual Eric !!
Great video Eric, I learn a lot from you.
Always educational and entertaining.
Enjoying the Pilot rehab series Eric! Happy Holidays from Central Texas!
Same to you!
It is amazing how you recall where everything goes.I would be spending more time drawing diagrams and taking pictures than getting things done. Hope your knees feel better. Did I mention you are awesome. Happy holidays and stay safe.greg from Brampton Ontario
Thank you! I just keep all the fasteners with the parts when I remove them. Also, working on Hondas for 25+ years helps. Happy Holidays!
“So it’s spray urinal cakes”
Hahahaha! Merry Christmas, Eric. Have a good one.
Merry Christmas!
Good stuff. I don't have a Pilot, nor do I plan to get one, but I catch every one of these vids because I like turning wrenches on the weekend and there's always something new to learn, no matter the badge on the car.
Also, the Integra moved! I figured it was a 'perpetual project car' :).
I actually have 3 Integras, one is a Type R. czcams.com/video/zwu_ZskR_Es/video.html
Solid work. Tips and tricks about car maintenance I’ll teach my boys when they get older credit to you Sir.
i love this guy!! so calm great editing awesome information too i cant get enough
Thanks again for sharing! My 2005 honda pilot has 285,000 miles. Needs a few things!
Eric, last year for Christmas my dad got me some of the double kneed Carhartt work pants and some foam inserts for the knees so the pants have built in knee pads. I got a set for my best friend who's a mechanic after experiencing how awesome it is to take a knee and have a knee pad. He it loving them. Protect your knees, none of us are getting younger. Merry Christmas!
Great video series! I would recommend taking the fasteners into the sand blasting cabinet!
Every shop project needs a hero and in this case its that great little cart!
Eric will always be one of the best on CZcams
Thank you!
I have owned two 2005 pilots. I picked up the second pilot a week ago. It has 160k miles. Motor and trans appear to be fine. The other owner has receipts for timing and valve adjustments last month.
I do most of not all maintenance on my vehicles. This series is very helpful. I may try to tackle a trans once the old one dies. We will see.
But first power steering hose tomorrow and serpbelt and tensioner. Gotta get it up to snuff for my wife. Today there is a P0430 code (wish me luck lol)
What a pleasure to watch. Thank you for keeping the speech clean. So rare these days
Great video, would recommend looking into induction heaters for rusty fasteners, work amazing and are far safer for surrounding components, a bit pricey but 20000% worth it
This is great, thanks so much. I've got an 04 Pilot with a bad transmission, so I'll be attempting to remove/replace it next month. Just wish I had a lift. I'll be doing it in my driveway with the car on blocks.
I've done that with an Odyssey. It's not fun. You'll need 2 floor jacks to get the subframe out. Good luck and be safe.
Hello from Australia. Love your videos they are very entertaining and educational. Keep up the good work Eric. :)
You the man Eric been watching you from the beginning
I watch videos like these and imagine having this knowledge and confidence to do this.
Great video as always Eric!! Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas!
This was, in fact, very educational and informative. Thank you Eric for putting your time, dedication, effort, and passion into teaching us how to replace our own transmissions. 2nd gear in my 04 automatic TSX sometimes shifts hard. Solution?
Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
Incorrect fluid is the most common cause of transmission issues with Hondas. Honda fluid only. Also, you need to check the fluid level with the engine off, not running. Overfilling the transmission is also a common cause of Honda transmission failure. Additional info here. www.ericthecarguy.com/solving-transmission-problems/
Merry Christmas!
@@ericthecarguy Hey Eric! I was trying to see the bottles that came with the new reman transmission. What fluid did the new transmission come with? Oem? I think those take DW1? Thanks for the content!
@@ericthecarguy Was it primarily these two reasons that you were replacing so many transmissions? One to two a day seems very excessive, particularly for Acura.
@@michaelskinner896 Most Honda trans fail = if its 4AT 2nd gear overheats and shreds clutch material= failure. If its a 5AT 3rd gear overheats. 2008ish + 5speeds were fixed as Honda reingineered the trans with stronger 4 shaft design (1998-2007 was a 3 shaft)
Thank you Eric I always love watching your wonderful videos happy Christmas I am watching from South Africa
Merry Christmas to you too! Thank you for your viewership and comments. I really appreciate it.
The best edutainment! Thanks Eric.
Thank u Eric for this..truly much appreciated brother...in route to doin this myself in the near future and this will help
All those nice OEM Honda parts and then there's anchor motor mounts.... If Honda forums have taught me anything it's never cheese out on the mounts! I know they sponsored you and that's great, but please post the video of them wasted in the next year! You do great work Eric!
Never had any of my 3 Honda's ever have. Problems like this ..I change the fluid every few years seemed to work great
Happy New Year Eric! That looks like an awful lot of parts to keep track of but you make it look simple. I can remember when I was a young man my brother and I fixed cars in my father’s garage to make extra money. He would always have bolts left over after he finished. When I would question him about them he would respond by saying “Those bolts aren’t needed anyway, the manufacturer always put in more then is needed”. Needless to say, his jobs usually came back🤬😊 Thanks for the info and the entertainment and yes I am jealous of your roll around!
Merry Xmas, and a Happy New Year, Eric. Can't to see what you bring next year.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too! I'm excited about the coming year with the new shop and projects I have lined up.
Merry Christmas and happy new year, too you and your family Eric.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours too!
Good job! Thank you for all the information.
It's the only auto mechanical channel that keeps my extremely very bad bad ADD mind focused and can fully watch the videos
As always very entertaining and educational !!
Nice work Eric! Glad to see that the Bolt Biter Sockets saved the day for you on the stabilizer bar at 11:39. #GEARWRENCH #BoltBiter
Great work Eric!
Love what you've been doing on this channel lately, Eric. Do you see yourself doing more Honda restorations in the future? Love seeing old Hondas being brought back to life.
I'm getting a lot of positive feedback from it. I've actually been 'practicing' for when I do the Type R, but to be honest, I'm also enjoying this kind of work. I suppose that's a long way of saying, yes.
@@ericthecarguy woo hoo!
Happy holidays to you and your family, Eric. See you again in 2022! 🎄😃👍
Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!
Very good and detail work.thank for your video.
Merry Christmas Eric
Merry Christmas!
Amazing work 👍🏻
Hey eric try welding flat washer to those kind of broken bolts then weld nut on top of it works way better.
Good call! I can definitely see how/why that'd hold better.
Merry Christmas Eric 🎅 🎄
Merry Christmas!
Another great example of the mechanical skills you possess. Thank you and Santa Claus is coming to town.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Eric ⛄🌲
Merry Christmas!
I can see why you love the custom trolly, worth every penny 😀
The transmission will feel so smooth, just like new again.
I hope you are having a smashing xmas 😀
I made the engine run just as good as you'll see in future episodes. I agree, it'll be almost like new. Except for the trashed interior which I will turn my attention to at some point.
Always a pleasure to see you. I hope you and yours have a fantastic Christmas.
@@ericthecarguy I don't think there is anything you can't repair, you are a smart man, keep up the good work 😀.
I've got an mdx and that front mount I hate with a passion. Merry xmas ECTG!
It was fun watching this done somewhere besides a driveway!
Hey Eric. I used the same brand engine mount when replacing the front one on my 2007 Pilot and it broke 3 months later. Swapped it out with a Honda part and it has been great since. Just my 2 cents from one Honda tech to another. Thank you for all your hard work. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Well, I couldn't beat the price. Merry Christmas!
I ran those mounts on my v6 camry vibrations after 6 months ! Went with oem no more vibrations ! Like a new car !
Its a shame nowadays I rarely buy aftermarket parts because the quality is such shit. The only time I dont is if the parts are over the top expensive and I never go aftermarket for electronics. Just my 2 cents as well but agree with you gentlemen thanks.
Merry Christmas Eric! 🎅
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Eric!
Merry Christmas!
Great work!
Merry Christmas 🎅 eric 👍
Merry Christmas!
Merry christmas Eric GOD BLESS YOU 🙏🏾 and your family sir
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Eric and Family....
Merry Christmas!
That was awesome Eric Merry Christmas and Happy New Year my brother🎅🎄👍👍
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too!
DAM!
That engine stand looks GOOD!
Thank you! Made it myself. czcams.com/video/rVrs0SG866w/video.html
Merry Christmas to you and yours. Last Christmas my son gave me a tool box on wheels...
Merry Christmas!
I had a 2012 Acura TL. Great car, never broke.
Great job Eric! 🌲Merry Christmas🎅 Hey, I forget, so is this going to be YOUR vehicle? I can't wait til it's done! I wished u did Toyotas but I'm so intrigued. I STILL learn. U make it so easy & when u have the right equipment, it IS. THANKS!'
It already IS my vehicle. 😉
Didn’t know seat belts were that strong, thanks for that tip!
Consider that they are made to hold a 300lb person from going through the windshield in a collision.
Excellent step by step.
Just a suggestion Eric, next time you can sand blast the head of the bolts too and spray with the same black paint, would look awesome...
This was a tremendous time suck as it was. Given that I'll be using this as a 'winter' vehicle, I didn't feel the need to go that far. Part of the reason I've been doing more Honda 'restoration' work, is to practice for when I do my Type R. I won't be putting rusty bolts on that. I'm considering getting one of those vibration cleaners to handle that work. Thanks for the comment.
That was absolutely epic I wish it was that big of a piece of cake doing it on my CRV but alas it wasn’t it was a nightmare but I did not take the engine out of the CRV so it was a juggling match to get it tilted just enough to get the transmission back in without rubbing on the unibody or frame rails did get it in but I think I suffered a casualty of one of those hydraulic motor mounts and I get a nastyVibration at idle
Looks like brand new. Lets hope she serves you well. Oh by the way Merry Christmas Eric and family.
Happy holidays!
Hey Curt Manufacturing was started by a friend of mine son.
i love what you do .
Happy birthday to my dad! And me…on this Christmas day many, many years ago.
Oh yes and a very merry Christmas from my humble home to yours all the best to you and yours in the new year and let’s kick this Covid😒
Merry Christmas!
Great Video!!!
Very well sir love the videos man
Hell of a job, I think I've seen it before, but I'm replacing a PS pressure hose on an 07 pilot and ehh why not watch it again.
I would love to see you do something like this on an Element , especially the frame
Already did it. czcams.com/video/Abl91R0T5dw/video.html
Oh man it looks awesome 😁👊🏾👍🏾
All hale the scrap yard seat belt!
Every single time I'm at the scrap yard for automotive parts and/or project steel, I harvest as many yards of seat belt material as I can.
Once home, I throw on the walking foot and upholstery thread for the old Singer sewing machine and make all kinds of loop ends for soft-tie dirt and street bike pickup truck bed tie-downs. I also fabricate loops for hanging extension cords, welding leads, air hoses, garden hoses, and anything else of similar length from garage and basement ceiling hooks.
Once your brain becomes conditioned to see seat belt strapping as a tool, the sky is the limit to its usefulness.
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing that.
And keep the hale going for used tires!
Drill four holes in the sidewalls on each side for water drainage and use them as grocery caddies in the bed of a pickup truck -- keeps stuff from rolling around.
Cut up in to squares, non-steel belted tires make great soft-jaw material for the vise to hold uneven stock or nonsymmetrical parts.
Once again, start thinking of used tires as a resource and you'll be using the rubber everywhere!
czcams.com/video/rPChQwrWgfc/video.html
I heard you say you were replacing 2-3 of these transmission a day? Good lord I am a fairly new technician still and hearing that blew my mind. I’ve watched you for a few years now and I just praise your work. Any advice for me from you just in general?
Thanks a million for what you do, I aspire to be such a great technician and have leaned so much from you.
Good video
