Does the Brand Make a Difference? Discussing Honda Transmissions

If you ever take a marketing course, they will tell you that branding is everything. You have to uniformly and successfully brand your product or service and stay “on brand” at all times. After all, what you sell is your brand. Athletic wear brands don’t sell running shoes, they sell an active lifestyle. Beer brands don’t sell IPAs and lagers, they sell good times. And auto manufacturers don’t sell cars, they sell adventure, luxury, environmental consciousness, and half a dozen other things. But is this all that brands are?

Auto Brands

When it comes to the automobiles themselves, there are some significant differences between auto brands. We can see this in the transmission, as well. Often, these differences are subtle. Sometimes there are major differences. Knowing the differences between different automakers’ transmissions might not make a huge difference, but it can help you make the best purchase for your needs and wants or help you to take care of your transmission. In this article we will discuss Honda transmissions.

Honda

Honda Motor Company, Ltd. was founded in Hamamatsu, Japan, in 1946. In addition to automobiles, they make motorcycles, aircraft, power equipment, and more. Popular Honda cars include the Civic, the Accord, the CR-V, and their luxury brand, the Acura. As a company, Honda is doing very well. They are the world’s largest producers of internal combustion engines by volume. But how good are their transmissions?

Honda Transmissions

The first thing to note about Honda transmissions is that you should really use a Honda branded transmission fluid with them. If you use non-Honda branded transmission fluid in your transmission, you might run into problems. It might sound like a cynical ploy to get you to buy their transmission fluid, and it’s kind of is, but it does have an actual effect on your Honda transmission.

It should also be noted that Honda automatic transmissions don’t have replaceable filters. Honda transmissions do have filters, but the filters are internal. The only way to change the filter in a Honda transmission to open the transmission case. Honda transmission filters are, ostensibly, lifetime filters and therefore they do not have a suggested service interval. The required maintenance with a Honda transmission is only to drain out the old fluid, clean the drain plug magnet, and refill with new Honda fluid. If you do this about every 50,000 kilometers then you should be able to avoid most transmission problems. But, like with all transmissions, if you neglectthe recommended maintenance procedures, you’re likely to encounter transmission problems.

Absolutely Nobody
Acouple years ago CAA was a pick and wouldn't tow my POS car to my apartment and I was strapped for cash so I asked them to drop my car in this guy's parking lot so I could push it to my place... he came out after hours and asked what I was doing... he was very cool about me dropping my car there. Glad to see he has a near perfect rating, others get way to involved.

We have used Mister transmission's services more then once and they have been exceptional every time. This past visit, they found an issue with a component that was rusty and ceased up. They lubricated and freed up the piece which solved the issue. When it comes to transmission issues we wouldn't use anyone else. They are fast, reliable and honest with great communication.
