Where do you refill the transmission oil on a 03 3.2 tl types? I hope its not the same place where the dipstick goes because its hard to find a funnle that narrow.

 

yep

 

If you look toward the back of the transmission (the firewall side), you will see a bolt on top of the casing. That's the fill hole. Much easier than the dipstick hole. If you have the oil jet kit installed per the recall, then you just have to remove the bolt holding the black metal bracket down. Then the jet will slide right out and you can fill the fluid through that. If you don't have the oil jet kit, then it'll just be a bolt. It's on there HARD so you will have to use some leverage.

Remember, 3 quarts per drain, so refill 3 quarts. Acura recommends 3 drain/refill process, so buy 9 quarts of transmission fluid. Remember to drive the car between each drain/refill to lock and unlock the torque converter (happens at approximately 40-45 mph) so that the fluid gets circulated all the way.

 

Hey thanks a lot i will check that out.
