The 2007 Honda Ridgeline uses a 5-speed automatic transmission, with no manual option. It was offered with either front-wheel drive or Honda's Real-Time AWD system, both paired with the same 5-speed automatic gearbox.
Transmission and drivetrain details
The Ridgeline's powertrain centers on a 3.5-liter V6 engine connected to a five-speed automatic transmission. Buyers could choose front-wheel drive (FWD) or Honda's Real-Time AWD system, which automatically apportions torque between front and rear axles for traction. The 5-speed automatic includes overdrive for efficient highway cruising and is designed to handle the truck's towing and payload capabilities.
Key considerations for owners and buyers
There was no manual transmission variant in the 2007 Ridgeline. If you’re evaluating a used model, verify the drivetrain configuration (FWD vs AWD) and ensure the automatic shifts smoothly. Regular maintenance should follow Honda’s recommended service intervals for the transmission fluid and related components.
Summary
The 2007 Ridgeline uses a 5-speed automatic transmission paired with either front-wheel drive or Real-Time AWD; a manual transmission was not offered that year.
