Yes. The 2014 Civic with its conventional automatic transmission uses a pan-mounted filter/screen that can be inspected and replaced when the pan is removed during a service.
In the United States, the Civic lineup for 2014 predominantly used a traditional 5-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual, with no factory CVT option. The filter is part of the automatic transmission's maintenance, while manuals don't use a transmission fluid filter in the same way.
Transmission options in the 2014 Civic
Here is what the 2014 Civic offered in terms of transmissions, and how it relates to filtration.
- 5-speed automatic transmission, paired with most automatic-equipped trims
- 6-speed manual transmission, available on certain trims
In practice, the presence of a usable transmission filter applies to the automatic version; the manual does not include a transmission filter in the same way.
Does the automatic transmission have a filter?
The automatic transmission in the 2014 Civic uses a filtration screen/element that sits in the pan area and is cleared during service. When the pan is removed for maintenance, the screen can be cleaned or replaced using a service kit, depending on the region and the specific transmission type.
- Location and access: The filter (or screen) sits inside the pan area on the automatic transmission; access is gained by removing the pan after the vehicle is lifted and cooled.
- Replaceability: Some service procedures include replacing the filter with a dedicated kit; other normal maintenance focuses on cleaning the pan screen and replacing the pan gasket with the ATF drained.
- Maintenance steps: Drain the ATF, remove the pan, inspect/clean the filter screen, replace the filter if applicable, reinstall the pan with a new gasket, refill the transmission with fresh ATF, and check level at operating temperature.
Note: If you are not comfortable performing this service, have a qualified technician handle the pan service and filter work to avoid leaks or improper ATF filling.
Regional variations
In markets outside North America, Honda sometimes offered different transmissions on the 2014 Civic, and some regions may have used a CVT. If your car is from a non-U.S. market or if you are unsure of the exact transmission, verify the model year specification for your vehicle by checking the VIN, owner’s manual, or consulting a dealer or repair manual for your country.
Summary
The 2014 Honda Civic equipped with the conventional automatic transmission uses a pan-mounted filter/screen that may be cleaned or replaced during a pan service. The 6-speed manual does not have this feature. Always refer to the owner's manual or service manual for exact steps and to confirm whether a filter kit is required for your specific vehicle.
