🚘 Beck Arnley 044-8003 Auto Trans Filter Review

Works the same as the OEM filter. I even cut it with an OEM angle grinder, nothing special, looks like the inside of an engine oil filter. This appears to be a quality part and is fairly easy to install on a 2004 Odyssey minivan.

I changed this filter on my 2003 Pilot Honda and I can tell you it was a real job. The filter fitted perfectly and was a direct replacement for a fraction of the retailer's cost, but it was actually a ridiculous replacement.

Disconnect the large gray cable connector (just…

Removal and installation can be a bear without the right tools. There is a video on youtube. I had over 200,000 on my Honda Odyssey with the stock filter. Although Honda doesn't recommend a drain interval for this, I'm glad I replaced the filter. I recommend changing at over 150,000 km as I've found that my transmission…

As another reviewer said, the product is untagged but comes in a Beck Arnley box. Knowing from previous experience that the Beck Arnley is generally a quality aftermarket replacement, I ordered it in place of the original OEM unit. I gave that three stars, not higher, because: 1) Upon installation, I noticed that compared to the OEM block, there was not the same engagement with the o-ring in the fitting that after you go into the end of the filter slides screw in filter. I found it weird and…
