2006 Honda Pilot Transmission Overview
The 2006 Honda Pilot uses a 3.5-liter V6 engine paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission. Honda’s 2006 specifications list a 3,471 cc V6 producing 244 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque, with the 2WD model using a front-wheel-drive configuration.
For this page, we are specifically focusing on the 2006 Honda Pilot 3.5L FWD automatic transmission. This is important because Honda also offered the Pilot with VTM-4 four-wheel drive, and the AWD transmission is a different application.
A transmission replacement should therefore be matched using more than just the vehicle name. The year, 3.5L engine, automatic transmission and FWD drivetrain should all match the replacement unit.
For the 2006 FWD Pilot, transmission lookup information identifies the application as BVLA. If you’re unsure whether your vehicle uses this configuration, provide your VIN and vehicle information before purchasing.

If your Pilot has VTM-4/AWD, don’t order this transmission based only on the year and engine.

Signs Your Transmission May Need Attention
Transmission problems can develop gradually or appear suddenly. These common symptoms may indicate that your 4L60E needs inspection, diagnosis or repair.
Delayed Engagement
A noticeable delay when shifting into Drive or Reverse can indicate a hydraulic, fluid or internal transmission issue.
Transmission Slipping
Engine RPM rises without normal acceleration, especially during gear changes or under load.
Harsh Shifting
Hard, abrupt or unusually rough shifts between gears may indicate a control or internal transmission problem.
Loss of Reverse
If Reverse stops working or engages inconsistently, the transmission and shift system should be inspected.
Unusual Noise
Whining, grinding, humming or other abnormal sounds can be signs of internal wear or damage.
Fluid Problems
Low fluid, visible leaks or contaminated transmission fluid can affect shifting and transmission operation.
Important: These symptoms do not always mean the entire transmission needs replacement. Fluid level, linkage, electrical controls, sensors and other components should be checked before choosing a replacement transmission.
