auto trans fluid
93 civic ex with stock auto tranny, would I use dex 3 w/mercon?
I own the haynes manual, but it's about 100 miles away right now, and the person who has it is working until midnight.

I'll do that, any idea how much the trans holds? I have to do this in an apartment parking lot because I don't want to drive the car anymore until I get this done.

Re: auto trans fluid (Maginnovision)
Seen this ?
Honda Auto Trans Flush provided by cmrvi1
1) Put the front of the car up on jackstands with the wheels off the ground. Put a large container under drain plug.
2) Remove the transmission drain plug (3/8" drive ratchet works fine). Let transmission drain and wipe sludge off drain plug.
3) Reinstall drain plug and snug (not tighten). Fill transmission with three quarts of ATF.
4) Start engine and shift into drive. Gently accelerate and let transmission upshift through the gears (don't go over 50 MPH).
5) Step on brakes and bring speedo to 0.
6) Shift into reverse and accelerate to 20 MPH.
7) Bring speedo back to 0 with brakes. Shift to park and shut off engine.
8) Repeat steps 2 through 7 TWO MORE TIMES.
9) Drain the transmission once more. Reinstall drain plug and tighten firmly (don't forget to reinstall crush washer).
10) Remove jackstands and put vehicle on level ground.
11) Fill transmission with 2 1/2 quarts of ATF. Start engine. Shift to drive, then reverse, then put back in park and shut off engine.
12) Check transmission fluid level. Top off if needed to bring fluid level to the top of the crosshatch marks on the dipstick.

No I hadn't seen that... But I wasn't really looking to see how to flush my trans I know how to do that. My main thing was what type of fluid to use.
And to make it easier, how much fluid it is supposed to take.
Thanks anyway, I guess it's about 2.5 quarts to fill.
