ok im changing the tranny fluid on my 2000 si now and when i opened the plug only a few dropps of fluid came out. was i low on fluid or do i have 2 do somethin 2 drain it.

 

anyone??? im actually doin the flush now.

 

first, there's a topic line for a reason. you'd have had a reply a lot faster had you used it properly.

second, you're either using the wrong drain plug, or your transmission is prolly fuked. just pulling the plug it should pour right out, it's essentially very close to 10w-30 motor oil. drain what is there and refill to spec.

if you jacked your front passenger side up, that could cause the fluid to stay in the transmission i think, but that'd be pretty obvious.

 

did you remove the drain plug or the fill plug, the drain plug you just stick a 3/8 rachet with no socket to remove it

If your trans was bone dry, you'd know it when you were driving.

And yes, in the future, try to make a better title than just "help".

 

Is it jacked up level?

It can't be jacked up on an incline. Needs to be a lift or four jack stands/ramps.

If there was no fluid in it it'd be grinding like a *****.

Other than that make sure ur removing the drain plug - take a picture of the plug you removed and somebody could tell you which it is.

 

i had the wrong plug for draning. i drained it now but it wont go in now. i put it in the top hole and it just spills out

 

just have patience the thick takes time to go in.
