What Does Your Honda Pilot Transmission Do?

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, even the smallest transmission problems should be addressed right away. Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Honda Pilot transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, 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 you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Pilot’s not even driveable.

Honda Transmission Recommendations for 2021 Pilots

Honda recommends having your Pilot's transmission system routinely inspected for wear and tear. For example, the transmission fluid in your Pilot should be exchanged regularly with Honda-approved fluid. Our technicians are trained to service 2021  Honda Pilot transmission systems according to vehicle manufacturer recommendations. If you think there’s something wrong with your Pilot’s transmission, schedule an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to help keep your engine running at peak performance.

2021 Honda Pilot Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Honda's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Honda? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. 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? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2021 Pilot’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Honda, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Honda Pilot leak transmission fluid? Yes. Honda Pilot transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Who can fix my  Honda Pilot transmission leak? When your Pilot transmission is acting up, Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to help. Book an appointment today for transmission system diagnostics and repairs.
  • Can I still drive my Honda Pilot if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended. Transmission fluid is essential to the proper operation of the transmission system, and a leak can cause serious problems, including reduced performance, overheating, and potentially transmission failure.
