ok... there are things i know and things i don't know about putting tranny fluid in....

back in the day i had a 91 CRX si, on which the tranny seized up on me so me and my buddies had to swap it out.... however, we found a 80-something 4 speed tranny that we threw on in a pinch for time... we had to *** the whole car to the side and put the tranny fluid in through a bolt hole in the tranny... it waqs annoying because we never new when it was full as we used a turkey baster due to our lack of funnel tools

then there is the 92 and up trannys that just have a dip stick for the tranny fluid level of which you can just apply fluid with ease... but my tranny dose not have the port... damn

and now the fluid question: there are three types of civic trannys from ef to eg to ej/ek... and so far i know of gear oil, standard 10w30 that can be used, and iv just been informed for mine there is some special fluid that i have to use for 98 and up.... i just went and got 4 quarts of it....

GOTDAMNIT... i just looked at it right now and this foo gave me tranny fluid for an "Automatic" WTF!.... well after i go and take it back, i need to know how to put it in "the easy way" if there is one... and if i really need to use "***** wonka's special blent of tranny spices" fluid

 

honda mtf is great, fill it up with a funnel and tube to the fill hole or vss hole

 

if you want good transmision fluid, use amsoil synchromeser. Works well. My tranny shifts smoothe like butter.

 

what kind of wrench would i use to get the bolt off

 

10 mil for vss..then lift out vss


3/8 rachet end for side hole

 

if the end of the 3/8 rachet is too short from your access point, add on an extension, and use the end of it.

 

add some stabilizer to the trans for longevity.

 

the drain bolt fits a 3/8 rachet, the fill bolt is 17mm.

 

cool... i got it done... i just went and got some gear oil... it mad the most sense to put what goes in there, in there

the 3/8 worked just fine... the plug was just on there extra dumb tight, i almost pulled the car off the jack f'ing with it... but yea no more grinding

 

gear oil? use regular motor oil for your tranny.
