I know under ideal conditions one would replace the crush washers when changing the tranny fluid - but I do not have any and the nearest Honda dealership is a 20min drive. I'm heading to the track on Thursday and wanted to put in some Motul Gear300 in tonight. Has anybody re-used the washers? Would that be a problem?

 

I've had to reuse them because I was lazy. No problems but it's good to always give it a new crush washer...better seal.

 

not a problem.

just switch it out after the track event.

 

All though DOTRJ has disagreed with me in the past on replacing it I would to be on the safe side... After all it is a crush washer.

 

if u just took off 2-3 times..no problem..but not a bad idea to replace since its only around .50 cent

well, if cost isn't an issue, have the honda dealer overnight one washer to the house.

 

I've reused mine (once). No drippage.

 

I've always reused them with no problems.

I've reused oil crush washers 3+ times back in High School on my first beater Honda. It started dripping after the second or third reuse.

**** happens. Don't go crazy on the torque, just torque it on a little better than last time, and get a new one at your convenience.
