i just put in a b16 tranny and i don't know how much oil to put in. i put in about 1.5 qts cause thats all the oil i had at the time. i put it in through the speed sensor cause i think its easier that way.

should i put more oil or did i put enough?

i tried the search, but its not working.

thanks

2.3 qts...if you must, fill through the speed sensor then open the fill plug to see if its filled or not.(upper left 17mm i bieleve bolt as you look at the side of the tranny)

I always thought it was ~1.9 quarts, someone correct me if Im wrong? I know the D series and F series use 1.9

2.3 qts

no, no, no.

its 2.2qts for complete fill up, 2qts for fluid change.

goto honda and get the large crush washer, that goes on the "fill" bolt

then get the smaller crush washer that goes on the "drain" bolt.

drain fluid.

replace drain bolt with new crush washer

unbolt the "fill" bolt

add fluid through the VSS untill fluid starts to dribble out of the fill bolt

replace fill bolt with new crush washer

replace vss

and it should be broken in about 50 miles.

Should this be the same for a gsr tranny? About 2 qrts for tranny fluid change?

i put a little less than 2 quarts in my d series tranny. but the b16 is prolly different, i would say go with the 2.3

you dont understad; you put it in untill it starts to dribble out of the fill hole, which is usually about 2 qts.

how hard is it to get the VSS off? i need to change my fluid and never tried to fill it that way. what kind of oil do you recomend?

hondaeg8

its only one bolt to get it off, not hard.

I think the 2.3 number has a little overfill included. I just filled a brand new ITR tranny last night. I put in two liters (a little over 2 quarts) slowly and the fluid was just starting to come out of the overflow.

BTW, filling through the VSS hole is definitely the only way to do it.

hondaeg8

oh yeah....i think the other way kinda sucks

In terms of oil, remember its a transmission, it takes transmission fluid, not motor oil. I reccomend Honda's MTF.

Search, you'll get a million opinions, most will say Honda MTF, or redline fluid, or the ever popular GM Synchromesh which they say is better.

lohatch

you can run 5w-30 in your manual transmission. i personally run synchromesh.

Honda MTF Fluid, cheap and offers great results

hondaeg8

i haven't driven my car much lately, but it doesn't feel that bad with the 10w-30 oil that i have in the tranny now.

i did go out an bought some honda MTF. it cose 8 bux for 2 qts. i will be changing out the fluid tomorrow

just remember that if your new fluid smells like dead fish, its suppose to.

The Acura Integra Helm's manual actually says to use 10w-30 motor oil and doesn't say to use Honda MTF. I've had both in my LS tranny and I can't tell the difference.

Redline96LX

Well, I STILL reccomend Honda MTF. Its the same kinda fluid in a B16, thats in B18. Honda will tell ya to use Honda MTF.

i use a funnel and a clear hose on it and put the oil in the fill hole until it comes out then it is full usually about 2 qts though

hondaeg8

on the bottle is says Honda/Acura

yeah, in some of the earlier 80s civics i think oil works okay in the tranny but with newer models you really ought to you use the OEM honda tranny fluid. it really isnt expensive, and i mean, honda puts out good ****, so why mess around with it unless your pushin 500whp?
