hey guys. i recently did a motor swap on my ef. 1990 civic hb dx. i just put another d15 in it for now. but anywaze it runs great just needs the timing adjusted.
THE PROBLEM. i need to put some transmissoin fluid in it. but the fill plug is so fubared from a buddy trying to get it off that its a round bolt. is there another place to fill the tranny???

 

Go to Sears and buy a Bolt-Out kit.

 

im trying to avoid that as of now. but if all else fails ill do it. thanks for the advise.

 

take out the back-up light switch on top of the transmission and put it in thru there - only problem is you can't tell when it is full - also goes in slower thru smaller hole

 

ok, ill go check that. any other op's.

 

well that did it. thanks alot dude, you've done your good deed for the day.

 

For future searchers of this thread...

Like the guy up there said, I got stuck bolt removers from Sears and threw one on, compounded two end wrenches, got a friend to help pull and it came right off.

Someone also told me you could take your car to Jiffy Lube or what have you and have them do it. Bring an extra bolt with you and they'll usually do it for you.

OR, if you do the fill through reverse switch thing, you just drain it first and fill it with 2 quarts?? That would be the sure way to not overfill. The book says the transmission takes 1.9 quarts, so 2 would do the trick
