I have an 03 Accord with a 3.0 V6 It has a BAYA transmission in it. I have ordered a used BAYA from an 07 Accord.

My question is will this transmission be a direct fit or will I have to swap some parts from my old transmission?

Honda is pretty good at keeping trans codes separate.
If you are getting a 'BAYA' transmission, then it is most likely the same as your current transmission.
Only differences may be brackets that may have changed over for routing of wire harness or other components.
Take them off your original trans and put them on your 'new' trans.

 

Were you able to swap it successfully? My Honda Accord also 03 is giving out on me was thinking of replacing it with a 07 as well

 

Yes, the only issue that I had was that I needed the drive plate from the 07. The drive plate is what I would have called a flex plate, but on a Honda it is called a drive plate. It is the part that the torque convertor bolts to just to be clear. The transmission that I installed has a shifting issue. I would caution you that these transmissions are known to have problems and installing a used Transmission can be a gamble because the used transmission could be at the the end of its life. I have been able to drive it for a couple of years with the shifting issue, so I didn't get hurt too bad.

 

Dang I was thinking that to it's a gamble taking it out the junk yard never know if it's messed up greatly appreciate the info brotha

 

I know these transmissions well 06 and '07 had one of the best transmissions on a V6 Honda Accord 03-04 V6 transmissions had issue results in a recalls costing Honda millions of dollars they corrected the transmission by 05 and 06 '07 they were perfected with very low failure rates, I suggest you change 3rd and 4th pressure switch and get automatic transmission filter kit they sell it on eBay for around $30$ and do not use Honda dw1 fluid because the additive package is light, you want to use Valvoline maxlife ATF full synthetic has a very robust additive package and also use Lucas transmission conditioner not to be confused with Lucas transmission fix because it's not compatible with full synthetic or dw1 low viscosity transmission fluids.

 

Hey, how did you know you needed the flex plate as well? What did you encounter? I have a 2003 2.4L, do you think I’d have to do the same if I get a later transmission?
