Ok I just bought some Pennzoil syncromesh off the internet. I was planning on changing it tommarow when I read somewhere that Integra's take 2.3 quarts. I only bought 2 quarts!

So do you guys buy 3 quarts to get that extra .3 of a quart in or do you just settle for 2 quarts?

 

i fill till its spills over

I picked up 3 bottles when I last did my transmission fluid, I guess you gotta order another bottle

How much dose it usually take to spill over?

 

you already answered your own question, refills are 2.3 quarts. a full tranny drain, which can only be done off the car will require slightly more.

 

your going to need 3 bottles

 

every time I fill a tranny it takes about 2.1qts...

Yea I always totally drain it, then take the fill bolt and VSS off, and fill through the VSS hole untill it spills out of the fill bolt hole... its full at that point

 

Thanks guys. I just went and bought another quart.

 

Remember to make sure the car is level when you fill the tranny, either sitting on the ground or up on 4 jackstands. If you fill it w/ only the front end jacked up, you will get an incorrect reading when the fluid starts spilling out the fill hole because the fill hole is towards the back of the tranny housing, and if only the front end is up in the air it will start spilling out early (tranny will be underfilled). Just a heads-up.

Thanks for the heads up! Everything went fine besides spilling old fluid everywhere.

I wrote a DIY on my website for it: http://auto.snowsuperstars.com/mtf.html.

I hope this will help some people out.
