my cousin is stuck 200 miles from home and need to know what kind of tranny fluid to put in his 90 accord coupe manual tranny. help

 

go to the dealership and get some

 

he's at pepboys and has to get down here tonight. no dealerships are open til friday!

 

somebody help me please

 

damn people in general discussion have responded more than you accord guys

 

dexron 3

 

It doesn't (the manual ) say anything but this. Use only Honda fluid. But it also says that using engine oil can cause stiffer shifting, because it doesn't have the additives. But from what it says, you can use engine oil. So, if it were me I would try to find some generic manual fluid, if not, I would just get some 10w40 until I could drain it and put some Honda fluid in. Hope this helps.

 

as it was mentioned use dexron 3

 

atf in a manual? are you nutz?

that's fu-king atf in a manual gear box


put in motor oil, honda stated it's okay for temporay use.

 

They should have some kind of manual transmission fluid at pepboys. I changed the manual fluid in a nissan before, I had gotten the fluid from autozone though, I believe.

 

according to my accord manual, use API grade SF or SG engine oil and viscosity according to the chart. . .. which says '5w30 preferred' but 10w30 will work in warmer temps. hope ya get this in time

 

thanks guys
