which would you use on a 99 integra ls, non vtec, think its running the b18b1 tranny, its starting to shift poorly now like it starting to grind n ****, i havnt had a tranny fluid change since i bought the car, was just wondering what the best would be to use. also wondering what that stuff is called that drains yer tranny of all the grits and stuff after you let all the fluid out or w/e,.. also i hear some good things about this royal purple stuff? any1 know whats up with that stuff?

 

I recommend OEM Honda tran. fluid.

 

if its grinding bad even after changing with oem honda fluid, then use syncromesh.

 

thanks, im putting stage 3 clutch and flywheel in too so ittl prolly stiffen thigns up aswell, also throwing in struts so hopefully my boatish ride thats griding will stop haha, just did my oil and oil filter, so ima do a tune up as well and fuel filter and new air filter.

which wires should i use? and just regular platinum ngk plugs ?

 

i have 10w30 in my tranny now, but im gonna get some honda mtf as soon as i can get to the dealer. id go with synchromesh but thats like 17 bucks a quart i hear.

 

Penzoil Synchromesh is $7-$8 a quart and it's a small price to pay to protect your $300-$600+ transmission.

 

how many quarts does a B18C tranny hold? And where do you get this "Synchromesh"?

 

Also, I noticed the drain plug is a square? What's the deal there?

 

You just use a 3/8's extension on a ratchet for the drain plug.

 

in my gsr i put 3 quarts of Penzoil Synchromesh. theyre like $7-8 a quart at autozone. you should try royal purple synchromax but theyre like $10 a quart at kragen. ive used royal purple synchromax before on my ek civic feels alot smoother after the change.

 

i dunno about 3 qts. but on mine i use a lil over 2 qts and its full. and u can find the pennzoil syncro at like autozone or pep boys. about 8 bucks each. as for the plug a 3/8 rachet or breaker bar is fine. and the fill hole is right above it. fill it til it spills out. btw upgrading your clutch with a stage 3 and flywheel will not help u with your grinding.

 

thanks guys, I'm off to the zone!

 

Don't forget a funnel that has a long piece of hose on it. You're gonna need that to fill the trans, because there's no way to fit a jug of oil anywhere...plus the fill hole is horizontal.

 

honda tranny fluid same as 5w-30 motor oil FYI

I thought it was 10w30?

 

I didn't fill it from the side like you said loudassVTEC. I just took the spedometer sensor out from the top, fit a lot funnel in there, and poured it. Although you still have to open the filler hole to know when it's full. Granted, it is a bit more work.

Just my 2 cents.

 

in the DA manual it says you can use 10w-30 motor oil..but thats before Honda made there own tranny fluid..i always thought tranny fluid had a higher viscosity

 

That way works also. And actually is faster, and easier. I had always done it the way I described, until about 6 months ago, when I found out about the VSS way. But my car is off the road for the time being (h double deuce swap in my DA ) , so I haven't tried it yet.
