What does it take to change the tranny fluid? The car has 83K miles on it and now should be a good time. Is there a tranny filter? Do I just a bolt on the bottom of the tranny and let it drain and than refill through the dipstick hole? I've never messed with this car.

 

Your right. no filter. just drain and fill.

 

Yeah old thread I know but you do a 3x3 drain and fill. Thats drain 3 qts, fill it back up, and repeat for a total of 3 times. There is alot more info on acurazine.com.

BTW I just did this on my 02 TL-S and it actually improved shifting dramatically. Only use Honda/Acura ATF-Z1 fluid.

 

drain plug on the bottom,refill bolt on top just unbolt the bolt size 17mm i think. i use funel with a tube on the bottom to fill my trany fluid on my type s buy 4 bottle from the dealer should be around 3 3/4

 

1. drain & fill
2. drive 10 miles
3. repeat 1 and 2 two more times

 

ur improvement will only last a few K miles before you are back to same lumpy old shifting
