im changing my tranny fluid soon and i need to know what is the easeist bolt to pour through..i searched and found something about an LS tranny i dont think there the same however. any pics if possabile. its a 96 h22 tranny 5 speed thank you -jeff

 

get a shop manual bia...just playing

the drain bolt is on the bottom..you remove it with a ratchet end(its square)

the fill bolt is about 8 inches higher...its a 17mm if i recall and make sure your car is level and fill with HONDA manaul tranny fluid..not that fancy bullshit everyone else talks about...anyway fill it until it is level with the fill hole aka fill until fluid starts pouring out...put the bolt back in and then find VtAk

 

thanks man yeah i got the honda fuild already now i just gotta find time thanks again -jeff

 

You're not using 10w40?

 

yeah, my manual doesn't say anything about special fluid.. just oil. 10w30 i believe

 

If it isnt neccessary to use Honda MTF then why would honda make it? I would say be safe and go with tranny fluid. I think that is what most people on here will say too.

They make honda mtf for the newer cars. Ofcourse it can be used in the preludes; however, the manual says to use 10w30 or 10w40. So, being safe would be going with motor oil. But you're right, most people here would say use the honda mtf or the synchromesh shiznit.

 

So then which do you think would be a better choice?

 

Thats a toss-up question. A rock-paper-scissor question. I've only used 10w30 in my tranny - i've heard gm synchromesh and honda mtf works well, but i've never had any personal experience with it. I will change once I get my LSD. A lot of reputable people here said the MTF works great.

Either of them will cost less than 20$ anyway. So why don't change them every 50K miles ( or 3 years ) is not gonna make you go bankruffffffsieeeee

 

I have changed mine several times.

Use Honda MTF. ~2-2.2 qts.

For filling, i rigged up a funnel with tubing that I hold in the engine bay and snake the tube down into the filler hole, then i get someone to pour it in while i get ready to plug the filler hole.

Pretty easy. I replaced the drain bolt with the spoon drain bolt, but that is def unnecessary.

 

Good info thanks guys

 

i put the required quarts thru the speed sensor hole..
