Removal
1. Disconnect the battery from ground, move the transmission selector to position N.
2. Remove the air filter and air duct.
3. Mark and disconnect all wires that prevent transmission removal, disconnect the transmission throttle cable, move it aside and secure it, remove the wire (cable) holders. Disconnect the wires from the starter, remove the starter wire holder by unscrewing the bolts.
4. Loosen the 4 upper transmission-to-engine mounting bolts, do not remove the bolts completely. If necessary, gently push the lower radiator hose up and toward the engine block.
5. Loosen the 3 front engine mount bracket mounting bolts.
6. Raise the vehicle, remove the front wheels and any mudguards that may be in the way of access to the transmission and subframe.
7. Drain the transmission fluid. Disconnect the hoses from the transmission and plug them.
8. Remove the subframe center beam.
9. Disconnect the ball joints from the suspension arms.
10. Disconnect the lower fork of the right shock absorber from the suspension strut by unscrewing the tightening bolt.
11. Loosen the bolts and disconnect the rod from the right suspension arm, remove the rod from the front subframe beam.
12. Use a pry bar to pry the axle shafts out of the differential, move them to the side and secure them. Secure the right axle shaft to the suspension arm.
13. Remove the intermediate shaft by unscrewing the bolts securing the bracket to the cylinder block.
14. Remove the torque converter housing cover and the shift cable holder.
15. Loosen the bolt and remove the transmission control cable. Remove the drive lever from the transmission shaft, do not disconnect the lever from the cable. Move the cable to the side without bending it and secure it.
16. On CR-V models, remove the shaft flange mounting bolts on the transfer case.
17. Loosen the torque converter mounting bolts by turning the crankshaft.
18. Place a jack under the transmission. Remove the support from the transmission housing, do not remove the bracket.
19. Remove the upper and lower transmission mounting bolts. Remove the rear support bracket from the transmission housing. First, unscrew the through bolt of the bracket.
20. Remove the transmission by pushing it away from the engine (so that the transmission comes off the pins) and lowering it.
Installation
21. Pressure flush the transmission coolant line using Honda or Kent-Moore J38405-A (it is prohibited to use any other type of composition). The concentration of the composition is 600 g/l, the flushing pressure is 5.5-8.3 atm. The flushing procedure is specified in the instructions attached to the composition.
22. Check for the presence of 14 mm diameter pins on the torque converter housing.
23. Install the torque converter on the transmission shaft, replacing the ring. Install the starter on the transmission housing and tighten the bolts.
24. Install the transmission and tighten the bolts evenly to 65 Nm.
25. Install the rear support bracket to the transmission case, replacing the 3 bolts. Tighten the through bolt to 64 Nm. (if this bolt was loosened).
26. Install the manifold stand.
27. Install the transmission support. Tighten the through bolt by hand. Tighten the support nuts to 38 Nm, then tighten the through bolt to 65 Nm.
28. Tighten the three front support bracket bolts to 38 Nm.
29. Remove the jack from under the transmission.
30. Tighten the 8 bolts securing the torque converter to the drive disk. Tighten the bolts evenly in 2 stages, stage 1 - with a torque of 6 Nm, stage 2 - with a torque of 12 Nm. After tightening, check the freedom of rotation of the torque converter.
31. Install all removed parts in reverse order. Check the flywheel bolt tightening torque, which on CR-V models should be 177 Nm, on 4-cylinder Odysseys - 245 Nm. When assembling the disassembled suspension joints, place a jack under the right steering knuckle so that the jack supports the weight of the car. Tighten the shock absorber fork clamp bolt to 44 Nm, the rod bolts to 103 Nm, and the rod nut to 32 Nm. Hold the fork with a wrench and tighten the nut to 55 Nm. When finished, fill the transmission with fluid.
32. Do not disconnect the flush hose from the transmission cooler radiator until the end of assembly. Once assembly is complete, run the engine for 30 seconds or until approximately 0.9 liters of coolant is released. This completes the cooler flushing process. Remove the flush hose and connect the hose from the car's radiator.
33. When finished, warm up the engine, take a drive and check the transmission mounts for tightness, check the front wheel alignment angles.
