:"See also list of Honda transmissions for other Hondamatics"The Hondamatic (also called the H2) was Honda's first automatic transmission. It was produced from 1973 through 1979. The Hondamatic name is used on all automatic transmissions from Honda.

The original Hondamatic, like all following Honda automatics, featured sliding gears on parallel axes rather than planetary gears like most other automatic transmissions. The design is noteworthy because it preserves engine braking by eliminating a sprag between first and second gearsFact|date=May 2008. It also featured a unique shifting action controlled by stator torque rather than traditional hydraulics. The Honda torque converter had a lockup, leading the company to sell the original Hondamatic (which had just two forward gear ratios) as a 3-speed. The true 3-speed H3 was launched in 1979.

Applications:
* 1973–1980 Honda Civic
* 1976–1979 Honda Accord
* 1979 Honda Prelude

Motorcycle

The Hondamatic was later used in Honda's 400, 450 and 750 cc motorcycles, including the CB750A. In this application, it is not a true automatic transmission. The rider must manually select one of the two gears, though Honda's torque converter means that no clutching is needed.

Applications:
* 1976-1978 CB750A
* 1978 Hawk Hondamatic
* 1979-1981 CM400A Hondamatic
* 1982-1983 CM450A Hondamatic
