2010 Acura TSX transmission fluid and filter change
This works for 2009-2014 Acura TSX’s. One thing I forgot to mention is to take off the skid plate, which just requires a phillips screwdriver. My dad doesn’t have one on the car hence why I forgot.
The filter is the worst part, and you have slim/nimble arms it becomes easier to bear by sticking your arm through the head cover and the stabilizer bar. If it becomes too difficult, it’s not hard to take off the stabilizer bar, just a few bolts.
I hope this helps, thank you for watching

You’re welcome! I did another video on my TSX wagon, the filter is in a different location on them compared to the 2010 TSX. It’s weird, but I do have an updated version on our wagons
Definitely gonna do this myself thanks to this video. Preciate it bro

Glad Honda Switch to this design of filter. On later model. My 14 Acura RDX has this type. Alot better then the ATF warner filter on my 04 Accord EXV6 Sedan. 91k shifts so perfectly and smoothly.
Thanks man!!! Im actually going to do this pretty soon

Absolutely!
Orientation of the filter is important. You can also let the car idle until the fans kick on to test fluid level. Where can you throw away the old fluid?

Any garage can recycle it for free
when you said you felt some type of vibration around 25 to 30 mph, was it more of a sputter because that's what mine does. I have a 2009 TSX and thinking about changing the tranny fluid. Hopefully this fixes it

@@zero1fifty8 kind of, yeah. It certainly feels weird. I would definitely recommend a fluid change out
My wife haven’t changed transmission in over 6,7 years I just recently took it to Acura and they added oil. Didn’t drive as much afterwards and it started jerking not sure if I should drain old transmission oil or maybe just replace filter and just keep adding more oil and maybe try the Lucas as well.. what would you recommend it’s a 2011 Acura TSX 2.4

I would start with replacing the fluid and filter, and see how it shifts then. It doesn’t hurt anything and it’s better for the car overall. I’d go with Acura Automatic Transmission Fluid and an Acura filter. I’ve been told many times to go to Honda for parts because they’re cheaper, so I would try that as well. If you try to fix it yourself, like I did in this video, it’s honestly really easy if you take your time and have the proper tools, although you shouldn’t need much I wish you the best of luck with your issue

Just curious, is it crucial to replace the filter when you do the change?

Highly recommended, because you don’t want to chance any nasty stuff from that filter to be recirculated into the system
Was the filter placement different on the wagon? I have a 2012 wagon and the filter was in the same area but crammed down further.

@@dylancool8638 I have a 2011 wagon myself, and noticed that it is indeed buried under the fuse box. Have you replaced it yet? Looks to me that you have to take off the sway bar, and move the fuse box out of the way. Was wondering if you just need to move it by like 3 inches or take it off completely? TIA

Appreciate the video. Got mine changed out today. Shifts smoother now. It hasn’t stumbled into gear around 40mph anymore either.
