I just got my transmission fluid drained and filled at the Honda Doctor, I just wanted to know how can i tell if they really did the job or not, cuz they finished like in 25 mins? I looked at the bolts from bottom and i saw that they were wet so i think they did it, but i dont feel the change in better shifting.

What else should i check?

He means to check your tranny dipstick. If the oil on it is red its clean..ifs its black its dirty.

Noone has even asked him if its manual or auto...

Doesnt MTF look like oil? and ATF is red, right?

integracura

does manual transmission even have a dipstick? if so, where?

No disptick on manual. and yes tranny fluid can be changed that fast.. I work at a Honda dealer and I can change it in like 15 mins or so.

Pull your passenger side tire, find the fill hole on the side of the tranny, pull the plug and see if oil comes out. If it does, get a clean white towel and look at the condition of it. If it is clear and looks like fresh oil out of a bottle, then it was changed. I hope they used Honda MTF and not straight oil.

If you pull the fill bolt and oil doesn't come out, stick your finger in the hole and feel down a little to see how low the level is, it should be all the way up to the hole.

****, i can do it in like 3 min at work. Fluid is almost NEVER very dirty. Youll almost never notice any change. Its always good to change it tho.
