Hi, Where is the transaxle fill plug for my 2002 Odyssey? Thanks, Scott >Hi, > >Where is the transaxle fill plug for my 2002 Odyssey? > >Thanks, >Scott on the top behind the air intake tube, it has a 17mm hex but the plug is bigger, and it says ATF on it.

'are intake tube' - is that the tube that runs from the air filter box and then under the engine cover? Do I need to take the engine cover off?

The oil jet kit splits a tranny fluid return line and routes some of the fluid back into what was originally the tranny fill plug. The recall tested your transmission by having the tech open the fill plug, shine a light down there, and take a picture of the 2nd gear which is right there. The problem was that 2nd gear wasn't being lubricated. If it showed indications of being burned or scorched, they replaced the transmission. If not, they installed the oil jet kit to spray fluid on it to keep it cool and prevent burning or scorching. So now what was originally your fill hole is now filled up with fluid lines. Best bet: use the dipstick tube. Put a funnel into a clean, new turkey baster (with the rubber top pulled off), and the fluid will go right down the dipstick and you'll have easy access too. At least, that's how it is on the MDX clone.

You still fill it at that place, but instead of removing the plug, you remove the bolt that holds the metal tube in place and pull the tube out. It is a 12mm bolt painted blue on mine. > Where is the transaxle fill plug for my 2002 Odyssey? Depends. Did your van get the oil jet kit from the recall? >> Where is the transaxle fill plug for my 2002 Odyssey? > >Depends. > >Did your van get the oil jet kit from the recall? wasn't thinking... in the same area find the rubber hose coming to the top of the trans, it goes to a metal tube that is held in by a 12mm bolt, remove the bolt and pull the jet out of the way, fill as normal and replace the jet. the jet goes into a 24mm hex plug. Chip Thanks for everyones input. I talked to the mechanic at the dealer. He says that he fills it through the dipstick. In fact he says he fills all the V6s this way, because the factory torques the ATF fill hole pretty high. I used your standard ATF filler funnel with a flexible hose and then put a short amount of rubber hose on the end, it fit directly over the dipstick hole and I could pour stuff in as fast as I wanted to. Thanks, Scott Did you find the plug? If not, does the motor sit trans-verse or is it like the typical FWD? > Hi, > > Where is the transaxle fill plug for my 2002 Odyssey? > > Thanks, > Scott |
