I just bought some gm syncromesh fm but I bought 3 quarts. Is that enough? because im about to change the fluids. I have an eg si

 

yes

 

Perfec, 2.5 quarts should fill it perfect. Synchromesh is pricey too, so make sure you don't try to dump all 3 in.

 

Thanks man, if I do dump 3 quarts in though, it would just overflow out the screw hole on the bottom right?

 

just dump all 3 in until it over flows thru the top hole.. i jus did my eg a few weeks ago.. its a lil less than 3 qts..

 

Yeah, But I can tell you that It takes exactly 2.5 quarts. You have a seventeen mm check/fill plug up top, and a 3/8 drive for the drain. You know the tranny is full when it starts to trickle out of the check fill plug.

 

uhhhhh a d-series trans takes 1.9 quarts, a b-series is still only 2.1

you guys need to do a little research before just dumping fluid in.

 

ok, so now im freaking confused, ahahhaha. Can anyone confirm this?

 

it's in the chilton/helms manual, as well as numerous other places online. I usually go 2 quarts in a d-series and a bout 2 1/4 in a b-series just because it's easier to measure that way.

Also you can make life easier by putting the fluid in through the VSS hole on top of the tranny.

 

That's what I was thinking. For how much that stuff costs, I'd take 1 bottle back... Or you could just send it to me cause I need some... lol.. But yeah, I have the same car and it takes 1.9 quarts.

 

I've worked at an Ez Lube and an Oilstop for the last 3 years of my life as a full time Lube-Tech. I do honda manual trans at least twice a week on average. I'm telling you, 2.5 almost on the dot.

(Not trying to be a dick to all that have posted. Appreciate your input)

 

pour it till it overflows 2-2.5 should do it.

 

^this. 2.5 is beyond full in a b-series. if you fill through the vss, stop once the gear gets about half way covered with fluid.

 

Don't take this the wrong way, but you are a lube tech. Kinda like the guy working the grill at burger king is a chargrilled meat patty scientist.

Honda's specifications (not forcefedferio's make believe specifications) are 1.9 for a d-series and 2.1 for a B. You are overfilling people's trannies, which is why i would never take my car to a pennzoil, jiffy lube, wal mart tire lube express, etc. etc.

 

no just pour 2 quarts in it 1.9 for d 2.1 for b. forcefed is right.

 

So, Honda is wrong and you are right?


Yep

 

1.9 quarts.

 

Bingo!

I change my tranny fluid every 15k... so I've done this many, many times. And, I've owned both a D16 and B16.

A D16 tranny takes a little less than 2 quarts, and a B16 takes a little more than 2 quarts...
