If it ain't under warranty, no reason at all to spend that money at the dealership. Take it to a transmission shop and it probably would have been 1/2 that

Changed it in my daughters 2015 cvt accord transmission, same deal. Glad I did Measure what you drain out and add the same amount back. Picking the correct fluid was the hardest part imo. Everything woke turns to shucks

Got it back from her in December for me to use as a work vehicle. It had 178k miles on it and I noticed the "chatter" or transmission cavitation when riding. at 190k, I drained it and replaced the transmission fluid. It seemed to help, but still had a little bit of chatter. I happened to be on here and saw where folks recommended a synthetic transmission additive along with new fluid. So at 195k, I changed the fluid again along with an additive I got off Amazon and no more chatter. I used Valvoline synthetic ATF. It was "approved" by Toyota. So you used the Valvoline synthetic and an additive? I’m doing mine this weekend due to a shudder. Last edited by Turkey_neck; 05/17/23 09:35 AM.
