can motor oil go into the transmission, or is there a special type of fluid?

 

Believe it or not.

Honda Manual Transmission Fluid

 

well because i had thought that I read earlier that any accord before 97 or something like that used normal oil, after 97 used honda transmission fluid, but now I can't find that post even with the search function

 

Trust me, lol.

Honda MTF is all you need to use.

You *can* use regular motor oil but just stick with the MTF

 

k thanks for the help, its appreciated

 

94 and earlier used 5w30 motor oil in them from the factory. You can use Honda MTF with out a problem. If you really want to be good to it get some good 5w30 syn. motor oil. Its about the same price and will shift better.
