How to change tranny fluid?
 

I remember seeing a very good DIY on here, and I was just wondering if anyone can post the link? I tried searching but didn't have luck with any threads with pictures, like the one I am referring to.

Thanks in advance.

Use a ratchet to unbolt it and put it through your VSS(Vehicle speed sensor) 2-3 Quarts Syncromesh.

Thanks man. Couldn't I just fill it through the fill hole on the tranny?

Re: How to change tranny fluid? (Tuesdaynightfever)
 

Anyone know offhand what size the fill and drain plugs are for a 00 civic, d16y7 tranny.

Thanks https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/embeer.gif

The fill plug on my both of my B series are 17mm I believe, it may or may not be the same on a D series https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

I also believe it is a 17mm, can anyone confirm this? Anyone know the drain plug size?

Re: How to change tranny fluid? (Tuesdaynightfever)
 

Drain plug has a square hole (for lack of a better term), insert a 3/8" drive rachet to remove it.

Fill plug is 17mm for both D and B-series.

This write up is about replacing axles, but it also shows how to replace trans fluid:

Perfect. Just what I wanted to hear.

Is it possible to do this without taking off the tire? Only reason I am asking is because I am at school, and will be doing this on the street. I believe my jackstands are at home..

Re: How to change tranny fluid? (Tuesdaynightfever)
 

Yes, no need to remove wheel, last time I did it I didn't even use jackstands.

Re: How to change tranny fluid? (mcvtec)
 

Very good to hear. So I can do this using just a jack, 3/8 drive wrench, and a 17mm socket?

Now, next question. Is it possible to do this without jacking up the car? My car is stock height.

Re: How to change tranny fluid? (Tuesdaynightfever)
 

Yes, you can do this with all 4 wheels touching the ground, as long as you have a container (to catch the old oil) short enough to fit under your car.

On a side note, I normally use a length of clear tubing and a funnel to refill the tranny, keep adding oil 'til it spills out the fill hole (fool proof).

Re: How to change tranny fluid? (mcvtec)
 

Thanks for all the help. I will be buying a funnel and tubing this week. How big is the fill hole, just to make sure the tubing I get isn't too big.

Re: How to change tranny fluid? (Tuesdaynightfever)
 

1/2" inside diameter will work.

Re: How to change tranny fluid? (mcvtec)
 

Good deal. Thanks again. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emcocktl.gif

No problem https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/embeer.gif

Re: How to change tranny fluid? (mcvtec)
 

One more question, is the drain/fill plug on the driver or passenger side?

Re: How to change tranny fluid? (Tuesdaynightfever)
 

both are located on the passenger side of the tranny...the only side that you can get to no probs...gl

Thanks again guys https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

Re: How to change tranny fluid? (Tuesdaynightfever)
 

GM Syncromesh is also a great choice for replacement.

If you are in a bind, Honda MTF is the same as 10w30.
