Sure. Drain and fill. Do this at every second oil change. All you need to
do.

I assume you're talking about an automatic tranny?

Nope. Will require a buddy.

Here's how its done, but not recommended: First realized that you can't empty
all the T-converter. 1) Drain 2) Refill to top 3) Remove cooler exit hose 4)
Run motor until it goes from dark to clear. Stop motor. Refill to norm level.
Finish. Warning: Do not run dry. -This is ideal for those with gear debris
in fluid or other serious probs.

Anything is possible, but is it practical? I would suggest you
take it to a shop that has a transmission flushing machine.
Transmission fluid has a large amount of detergent. Often when
the fluid is changed the new fluid loosens up much of the gunk
and cause problems. The flushing machines in addition to
changing the fluid in the converter also pump through a cleaning
solution that loosens all the the gunk, cleans the filter and
flushes it out of the tranny before installing the new fluid.
Short of tanking down the pan and making adjustments if is one of
the best preventive maintenance regimens one can do to improve
the longevity of a tranny.

Nope. Never had a Honda automatic, but Toyota autos have drain plugs in the
pan, making drain and refill as easy as an engine oil change.

ATF has a hard life doing what it does. You can help your tranny live much
longer by being nice to it. Ever priced an auto tranny rebuild?

you want the tranny to last more than 90,000 miles right?
Honda auto trannys have non-serviceable filters.
Just drain and filling the fluid only changes about 1/3 of all the fluid
inside the tranny.

So that would be $100 in fluid at 90,000 miles if changed at 10,000 mile
intervals, or a $2500 rebuild.

25:1 odds, how lucky do you feel today?
