Re: Changin Tranny oil? (killakoupe)
We assume you have a manual trans. There is a drain plug on the bottom side of the trans case. Break it loose. Before you remove it, look for the fill hole plug which should be up and farther back on the trans case. Find this and remove it and be sure its the correct fill plug before you drain your old oil. Drain the old oil. Clean the drain plug and reinstall. Use a Honda recomended oil and refil the trans to the specified capacity. You will need a flexible long neck funnel to do the job. Clean and replace the filler plug.

Re: (Malakai)
my quick write-up
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by SkoundrelUSA »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Tom I borrowed your pics
Its really really easy.
Jack the car up
Then grab your 3/8" socket wrench and loosen this bolt (the "square one" that your socket wrench will fit)
See how it pours out
Then after its all out you can do it 2 ways
1) Thread the bolt back on, lower the car and fill it back up with 2.3-2.5 qts of oil(I'll get to the filling in a sec)
or 2) Thread the bolt back on, but UNTHREAD the fill plug (picture below), lower the car so its "level" with the ground, begin filling it up until oil pours out the filler hole, and then thread it back
The reason I say this is because with the car down its more accurate as to how much oil is actually in there. But its also a pain in the *** IMO to keep jacking the car up and down and up and down.
Next unplug and unbolt the VSS.
To unbolt theres 1. I repeat 1 10mm bolt closest to the driver's side thats holding it onto the tranny.
Then just bolt back on the VSS and the drain bolt (depending on which way you decided to do it) and you're done! Don't forget to plug the VSS back on or there won't be any VTACK!!!! </TD></TR></TABLE>
