Any suggestions and where the nut is to drain it?

 

I'm assuming you mean 'tranny fluid'. One suggestion...get the tranny-juice pump or a super-long funnel from Pepboys.

Use jackstands and try to make the car as level as possible to prevent underfilling the case. It's easy to underfill if its not on a (level) rack or something like it. So use the jackstands + jack at the other end.

I forget what the bolt looks like but I'm sure one of the n00bies will get that one.

 

Well if you're talking about the transmission fluid (oil)... the drain nut is on the passenger side of the tranny near the axle output.

 

No, I was actually seriously talking about clutch fluid. I needed to flush out the air that got into my friends accord becasue it got so low the reservior was empty and no more hydrolics left in teh clutch pedal. I found where it was though...right to the left of the headers.

BUT, I DO have another question, the rubber boot right next to the nipple you loosen to bleed the clutch line, do those go bad easily? His is worn down to the point where the clutch fluid is slowly leaking from there and that's why he was so low. I gave him a bottle of break fluid to keep with him to make sure the level is fine but it's not a real solution to his problem. What exactly needs to be replaced?

 

another question... is "clutch fluid" essentially brake fluid? if so, would better brake fluid be better to use for the clutch? like ATE Superblue, or simple Honda brand brake fluid?

 

I don't know about your second question but yes, clutch fluid uses brake fluid. You can see the reservior (sp?) in the top right corner of your engine bay when you pop open the hood. There's two actually, the bigger one is for your brakes, the smaller one is the clutch.

 

well those nipples tend to go bad on brake calipers, so i dont see why it would be any different on that.

just go get a new one, i bet its like 3 cents.. you should use a little thread sealer tho on bleeders when you're done bleeding just so ya know.

 

Ok, sorry, i didn't explain it well...it's not the nipple bolt that you use to bleed that's broken. It's this rubber housing that stretches/compresses when you push the clutch in. It's right next to the bleeder bolt. That rubber housing is all warped and leaking fluid from the edges. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

 

yep, replace/rebuild it

slave cylender is whats its called.

 

Thanks...i'll look into that...
