Know This Transmission Before You Buy
The research behind our purchase interview — recalls, bulletins and real install economics for this transmission family:
A quick look at your own vehicle makes sure the right transmission shows up:
- Confirm the 4th through 6th digits of the VIN are RT6.
- Verify the engine bay contains orange high-voltage cables and the 2.0L Hybrid engine (LFB2).
- Locate the barcode label on the original transmission case and confirm the code BTCE.
What the install really takes — plan and budget with confidence:
Special tools this job needs:
- Class 0 high-voltage insulated safety gloves (1,000V AC)
- Insulated hand tools
- Engine support bar/hoist
- Professional-grade diagnostic scan tool (HDS or equivalent)
- Transmission jack
- Torque wrench
Budget for these consumables at install:
- Honda Genuine ATF DW-1 fluid (Part # 08200-9008)
- 20mm drain plug crush washer (Part # 90471-PX4-000)
- Left and right driveshaft axle seals
- Honda Type 2 Blue Coolant (for hybrid inverter cooling loop)
- Transmission cooler-line flush solvent
What your vehicle’s computers will need after the swap:
What’s involved: PCM/TCM initialization, Resolver Calibration, and TCM adaptive relearn
Requires a professional-grade scan tool running Honda Diagnostic System (HDS) software to perform motor resolver calibration and TCM adaptive relearn. If a used TCM is installed, VIN programming may also be required.
Pro tips for a smooth first start-up — hand them to whoever does the install:
- High-Voltage Safety: Must pull the high-voltage service plug in the rear cargo area and wait 10 minutes for capacitors to discharge before touching orange cables.
- Inverter Coolant Bleeding: The hybrid inverter cooling loop must be refilled and bled using a scan tool to command the electric water pump to prevent immediate overheating.
- Torque Converter / Input Shaft Alignment: Ensure the input shaft splines align perfectly with the engine's damper plate. Never force the transmission against the engine block using bellhousing bolts.
- TCM Transfer: In most cases, the original TCM should be swapped onto the replacement transmission to avoid VIN-mismatch issues.
Easy to get right once you know them:
- Buying for a non-hybrid gas-only CR-V (1.5L Turbo or 2.4L).
- Using incorrect fluid like Honda HCF-2 CVT fluid instead of the specified ATF DW-1.
- Skipping the motor resolver calibration and TCM adaptive relearn after installation.
- Skipping the transmission cooler-line flush, which recirculates debris from the failed unit.
- Improperly seating the high-voltage service plug clip in the trunk, causing a no-start condition.
Not issues with the units on this page — the manufacturer documented these for every transmission of this family, wherever you buy one. Handy for your installer:

🔎 Recommended at install: Dealer inspection and potential replacement of the DC-DC converter.
🔎 Recommended at install: Replace the 12-volt battery cable with a new fused cable.
🔎 Recommended at install: Internal mechanical failure may require full transmission replacement under warranty.

- Your checkout freight quote covers delivery to your door (liftgate service included for residential addresses)
- The carrier calls ahead to schedule a delivery window — someone must be present to receive it
- Typically palletized and picked up within 2–3 business days; transit time depends on distance

- If the part fails within the warranty window, we'll replace it or refund per the coverage terms
- Coverage is parts-only — installation labor is not included

Your pre-purchase interview reviews these exact terms with you before anything is charged.
Returns (30 Days)
We accept returns of uninstalled parts within 30 days of delivery for this part.

- Parts must be returned in original packaging and unmodified condition
- Poorly packaged returns that arrive damaged will not be credited
Damaged in Shipping?
Freight damage is rare — and you're fully protected when you do two things at delivery:
- Inspect before you sign — you're allowed time to look the pallet over while the driver waits
- Write any damage on the delivery receipt before signing — that one line is what makes a freight claim succeed
- Severe damage? Refuse the delivery — it goes back at no cost to you and we make it right
- Photograph the pallet before unwrapping; report concealed damage within 24 hours of delivery
We handle the carrier claim — you just help document it. Your pre-purchase interview walks through this checklist too.
Order Cancellation
Cancel before shipment for a full refund. Once the pallet has been built, a preparation charge may apply — and once the freight carrier picks it up, shipping costs are non-refundable and standard return terms apply. Your pre-purchase interview shows the exact numbers before you pay.
