Why is Your 2009 Pilot’s Transmission So Important?

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Honda Pilot transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. If you ignore Honda Pilot transmission issues your could suffer a loss in fuel efficiency or find that your Pilot isn’t working at all.

2009 Honda Pilot Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Honda's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Honda Pilot? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Pilot’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Pilot is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Pilot's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Honda Pilot transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Honda. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Honda Pilot? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Honda Pilot, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Where can I get my  Honda Pilot transmission fixed? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair Pilot transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Should I avoid driving my Honda Pilot if there is a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Pilot to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
