Suspect the Honda you have does not have a pan or a replaceable filter for the trans.

If this is the case do a couple/few iterations of the drain and re-fill. I am certain you have read this. Then re-do religiously every 30k or so.

I have a mid-2000's Odyssey pushing 200k miles and the PO, my shop landlord, says "eff-no" to ever changing the fluid. Level is fine and fluid does not stink and looks good but I get a tiny bit of shudder on cold mornings for about three minutes.

You know the drill "If you change old-ass fluid you will clean the band mating surfaces and your trans will be toast"

Not sure if it's an old wives tale but steer clear of this potential predicament by getting your anal retentive on. Your car is still a pup.
