what is the easiest way to fill your tranny fluid? im haveing the hardest time. it just might be that im stupid but i dont know.

 

There is a fill plug half way up the tranny on the passenger side. Use a flex-funnel...

 

I don't know if you have an Auto Zone around but they have a tool that costs like $5. It screws right onto the quart bottle you are using and has a long flexible clear tube.
It works really good.

 

you can also fill through the VSS from the top. Take it out. Put a funel in the hole. Fill 'till it starts comming out the fill hole on the side. Then put it all back together.

Thing about that is it's hard to get to the VSS sometimes and it can be jammed in there if never taken out. I've broken tranny cases trying to yank them out. Hammer vibration = broken tranny case instead of breaking it loose.

 

where exactly is this fill plug, for the life of me i cant find it. how close/far is from the drain plug?

 

Get a Helms, man!

 

4 inches away a little bit to the left and upwards from it, right next to the axles.

You are fucked man. Don't touch your car if you can't find a simply fill plug. What if you didn't have the internet, you just drained your fluid and you couldn't fill it...seriously, have a friend come over and do it for you.

 

okay big brother... damn dont get so mad im just asking questions. i thank you for your help but dont try to lecture me.

 

the fill plug is the size 17 and da drain plug iz the ratchet head....

For reference... always take out the fill plug before the drain plug. If one decides to stick, you either A) can't change your oil or B) can't drive your car. Take your pick.

 

use a 17mm SIX POINT box end wrench to open that fill plug. you wont be able to fit a socket in there. and do it FIRST, as suggested. its often very stuck, so you dont want to be stuck with an empty tranny and not able to fill it easily.

 

update: i have drained the tranny oil and filled it back up with honda mtf and made sure both fill and drain plugs are tight. now there is oil leaking. its pretty consistant. i cant find the leak from the bottem. any suggestions?

 

i have a consistant leak too, coming from my diff output seals. (where the axles connect into the diff.)

Did you do something else? You've must touched somewhere that has started to leak.
