I have been trying to change my tranny oil and I can't get the two bolts off! I have soaked them in WD-40 for the past week and they are still as stubborn as hell. I actually got the bottom bolt off but nothing came out so I am concerned that 1) there is no fluid in there 2) I'm an idiot and did the wrong bolt. Can someone show me what two bolts and how to get them off?

 

Nobody?

 

the drain bolt (bottom) has a 3/8 drive square head on it..it cannot be missed..just pop a ratchet on it

the fill bolt (top) is 17 mm and is reached usually by taking off your intake pipe

 

here ya go mate, the two fittings are clearly visible in this shot of my lovely M2B4!

 

That is one clean tranny, did you buy that, or get it rebuilt?

 

ir came with my JDM H22, i rebuilt it myself and painted it.

 

Here's a tip for you. Always take the fill plug out first, that way if you cant get the drain plug out you can always run your car. Now if you take the drain plug out, and can't get the fill plug off, you're sol.

 

heres another tip, **** messing around trying to fill it up using the fill hole, remove your VSS and remove the fill hole bolt. With some length of tubing and a funnel, fill the box up with the tube in the VSS hole, works a charm and you get the right level then.

 

Thanks, I knew those were the bolts but I just can't seem to get them off. Anyway, clean Lude, Skinny!!

 

thanks champ, shes mid lifecycle at the moment, I'm hoping to have the rest of the mugen kit on and painted this year, with my M7's then i can start going to town on the engine. They're never really finished are they..
