manual transmission fluid in 2000 accord? questions...
I am looking and changing the MTF in my 2000 Accord 5 speed soon. How much bottles do I need? Is the process straight forward, or is there a writeup on this site that I could use.
I have tried to do searches, but there are so many threads with unrelated info when I search, that I spend a while and still cannot find related info.
Thanks

I believe the amount is just over 2qts to fill it back up. The easiest way Ive fill up my h trans was to pull the VSS on the tranny, near the back. Its just a 10mm bolt, unscrew and remove the entire sensor. Then with a long, maybe 3-3 1/2ft tube and funnel and slowly pour in the fluid. Then re-install the VSS and thats it
Draining is just removing the 1/4in drive bolt on the pas side of the tranny

When you do a search, be sure to use quotes around the key words - in this case "manual transmission fluid". And search in the Accord forum (1990 - 2002) only.

Here is a diagram of your tranny housing.

#15 is the fill bolt, #17 is a crush washer.
#12 is the drain bolt, #16 is a crush washer.
You can access that by jacking up and supporting the car then removing the passenger side wheel. I use a hose inserted into the fill hole and attached to a small funnel to fill the tranny with fluid.
