What should I use to change my transmission fluid? Also where is the bolts to take off to do the change? OKay, now I will tell you what I have. I have a b16a sirII. Please help me. I believe it needs a change. Never changed it since I got it. I got it in September of 2001.

Peace

Thanks for the reply, but

ummm...

i know this is dumb and stupid... but please help... where is the fill bolt. If someone has a pic... please show me... when i find that i guess i could find the drain plug. Also what kind of transmission fluid should I use?


Peace

 

hb_racer, the fill (& check) bolt is located 10"-14" above the drain plug. Most Hondas are 17mm, I think.

You'll need a funnel with a piece of hose to fill it as you'll have to go in sideways.

Be sure to use the correct fluid ... something especially designed for synchromesh trannies. Most common choices are Red Line MTL, or MT-90 if it's really warm where you live. This is what I've used for 10+ years. Or you can use the Honda MTF available at the dealerships.

Don't just use motor oil. If you need to use it in an emergency, swap it out ASAP.
