I was wondering what you guys put in manual transmissions...some one told me they put oil in it to make the gears spin better? is that good to do?....also do you put tranny fluid in it and does it matter if it is for an automatic or not?

 

??

 

honda MTF manual transmission fluid. from the dealer.

some ppl use pennzoil or gm synchromesh.

i would not recommend regular engine oil. engines and trannies require different additives.

and yes, automatic oil is different than manual tranny oil.

 

thank you really appreciate it....

Why do you say this when our OEM Service and Owner's Manuals say its okay? Now I know that MTF wasn't around then, but I don't see that as a reason to stop using oil.

 

because its BETTER to use manual transmission fluid.

 

Yes, MTF is better because of the additives, but the oil is just fine as was stated, when the car was made thats what was used and thats what was recommended to use until MTF came out. MTF is compatible to use in older "oil" trannies also. I've heard the GM Sycromesh is 2nd best to the Honda MTF but I don't stray from the MTF so I'm not positive on that. Some other car manufactures do use ATF for their manual trannies but not Honda's(my Saturn does, and older Mustangs do too;don't know if they still do)

 

where do you fill a tranny at?....does some one have pics?

 

theres a link to the official online workshop manual in the faq at the top of this forum. look there.

 

I looked but the pic I need has an x

 

is this where I fill it...the thing with the black lid on ot

 

does this work for a b16

 

can some one please help...ive tryed to get to the filler hole but can get to it...can i just fill it here

 

what size socket is it to get the filler plug out??

 

you need a bent neck bottle to fill that ****... it was a hastle to do mine, the BG syncroshift is the best but its hard to find and its a bit pricey. (not syncro mesh)
