Questions About 2012 Honda Ridgeline’s Transmission

  • What can I tow in a Honda? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. 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.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Honda Ridgeline transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Honda Ridgeline, potentially causing transmission problems.
