I don't beleive it is because Honda trannys have a plug, and this transmission (unless it has changed for '06) has a pan if I remember rightly. In my opinion, going away from the spin on filter transmission and drain plug, was a GIGANTIC step backwards. I know that at first, it might have been confused for the oil (had a lot of those come in at the dealer), but all in all, it made it real easy to keep up the normal maintenance routine of transmission fluid/filter replacement, without getting filthy in the process.
