haha are you a manual or auto?

 

manual, incredibly easy, still smells like **** haha

 

huh is there a story to this?

 

i undid the draining bolt thinking it was the level check (doesnt make sense now since it's at the very bottom) and all 2.5 quarts of tranny fluid came gushing out on my hands hahaha, i wasn't ready for it at all and ran into my garage, grabbed the closest bucket and let it fill up

it's a mess to clean up and smells like complete ***

on the up side however, my tranny shifts like butta now

 

buttah ftw

 

Man if you had only got it on video, you could have won $10,000 on America's funniest videos.

 

hahahahaha. you dorkass, why would the check stick be on the bottom hahahaha

 

yea man i recently did a flush on mine (auto), and the fluid smelled horrible. i don't think it had ever been changed before (i've only had the car 6 months or so). now it shifts so smooth though! ;P

 

haha yeah, i was laying down on my back, started unscrewing it, everything was cool, the i take it out and BAM **** starts gushing all over the place haha it was awesome

LMAO

d-zero-r-k

 

Any amount of "new" trasmission fluid you can put in will help. 3 quarts of clean fluid is better than none.

 

thanks man for you lol

+ the fluid as probably old as hell and would put the car into shock if i did drain and refill x2

 

BLKFLSH, I was under the impression the tranny only held about 2.5 quarts or so?

I leveled out the car (while it was on the jack) drained completely then continued to fill it til it just started to overflow through the threading for the upper screw which ended up being about 2.5 quarts worth of MTF

 

Honda MTF (went by the Honda dealership to get it)

about 2.5 quarts worth before it hit those threads

 

I wasn't a complete retard hahaha

my face would've been priceless if anyone had seen it

honda mtf + mobil 1 filter/oil for my car

 

did you get any in your mouth, LMAO. anyway all you need is a 3/8 ratchet and an extension, stick it in(which is the drain bolt) and the refill bolt is on top, i think.

for me when i had to re-fill i used a hose stuck it in the re-fill hole and poured away, only issue was when it was full it just gushed out!!!!!! and i had a ******* mess on the floor on my clothes and yess it smelled and the worst part, as i tried to put the bolt on the fluid just kept coming out (imagine tryin to stop a leak and the bolt WILL NOT GO IN)

 

hahah thankfully none got on my face, but hands, shirt, arms, pants, etc got a whole lot on them

 

The thread hi-jacker has an automatic (I think), so it's totally different. You can only drain about half out. Sorry to intrude on your thread.

haha or you can do it my way and blow out both tranny cooler hoses going to the radiator 2 different times and not notice until the car stops moving and your free revving. Yeah, i said twice haha. Oh well, atleast i know all the fluid in there is brand new.

 

we'll at least it didn't smell like that gear oil that u can buy out of the auto parts store now that smells a little rough than honda tranny fluid.

Hope you weren't wearing your "Sunday best". I imagine tranny fluid is near impossible to wash off.

Oh it washes off, after about 3 loads....but its the smell in the mean time that is much worse then the gear oil itself
