You might want to do a google search for the word flush and honda. I've
read it a dozen times: be careful that they don't 'FLUSH' a Honda
tranny. Just drain-n-fill it. Honda realizes that there's at least a
50:50 chance that some bone-head will hook it up backwards and
back-flush the contents of the internal filter into the whole rest of
the tranny (and possibly other reasons). That's why they say do't do it.
Some of the real experts around here will confirm.
