clutch fluid

 

so if the clutch fluid is low will it cause problems to the tranny? or make it difficult to do anything?

which is the clutch fluid the bigger or smaller container?

 

clutch fluid resivor is the smaller one. if its low, your clutch pedal will be very soft. sometime is sinks in and hard to come back up.

 

alright so it wouldnt cause problems to my tranny in popping out of gear?

 

no, that would be more of a syncro problem. its its not major yet, go ahead and flush the old tranny fluid out and add about 1.5 quarts of Honda Tranny Fluid and a bottle of Lucas transmission fluid. It works for me for another 8 months or so.

 

I don't think you can check your tranny fluid level except by changing it :shurgs:

 

so are you wanting to check you tranny fluid? or your clutch fluid?

you can - undo transmission "fill" bolt , and simply put ur finger inside the hole and feel for the "level" - it should be just at the base of the fill hole. If below just top up until it slowly leaks out of the hole.

d0h!

Can it be done through the VSS hole too?

 

I dont belive you can check it that way, thats more or a cheater way to fill the thing

 

yup the proper way is as i said above - check your manual or online manuals and they mostly tell the same tale. (use a finger via the fill hole)

The VSS is the best way to fill methinks , just be careful retightening those 2 small 8 or 10mm bolts holding the VSS inplace *snap easy*

 

finger in the fill hole is what i've heard as well
