Questions About 2006 Honda Ridgeline’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Honda? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Honda tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Ridgeline towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • When should I have my Ridgeline's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Honda Ridgeline’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Honda Ridgeline leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Honda Ridgeline, 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 Ridgeline transmission fixed? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Ridgeline transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Honda Ridgeline if it has a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Ridgeline if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
