Welcome.. I have this car bought it new and really don't want to get rid of it. The only problem I've had which happened a few months ago was a water leak. I noticed the passenger side pillar post. Was wet and stained. ..They tried removing the roof rack on both sides and patched a seam running under there. They were hoping not to have to remove the windshield but in a few days, I noticed the leak still happening. So they did the windshield and all is well now. Just a heads up to keep an eye on that. Good luck with it

thanks for the heads up on that issue. Got lucky with this car….all California car, no accidents, body is perfect, not even a parking lot door ding. Well taken care of…i changed the tranny fluid first thing and will do it again soon, just because…keep fresh fluid in the tranny and it will last for ever…so easy to do why not do it. 84,000 on this one and expect lots more. Had a 95 Accord wagon I loved with 230,000 and engine developed bad knocks, but tranny shifted perfect…change fluid every other oil change..easy. Just my recommendation as an old mechanic…if you are diy guy.

I haven't even looked at the the trans to see if ut can be done. I assumned it was a closed trans which has to be taken to a shop. Where is thw drain plug located?

Plug has a round head, engine side of trans I believe at the bottom of course, with a square internal 3/8” drive. You can remove it with a 3/8” ratchet. 3.5 qts to refill. Recommend replacing the gasket as it is a crush style.

Awesome thnx. Are there any recommendations for which fluid is best

I use Honda fluid DW-1. Acura doesn’t use CVT transmission

Have you changed your trans fluid?
