Is it ok to only jack up the front? Does it really matter to have the car 100% level?

 

Why can't you jack up the back?

 

i think it suggests the car to be level..... we put "Chris93Si's" prelude on 4 jackstands when we changed his....

 

Lower the car until it is level.

 

They want you to keep the car level so that you get the right amount in the tranny. Pour tranny fluid in on a level car until it spills out of the tranny fill hole. When it stops leaking out of the fill hole, put fill plug back in....voila, tranny fluid change with the correct amount of fluid.

Or you can always just add in 2.2 litres of tranny fluid with one of them pumps. The Honda MTF bottles have a level indicator on the side of them so you will know how much 2.2 litres is.

 

i think its 2.4qts actually.

 

I added about 2.5 in there...it kept leaking out so I stopped.

 

It IS 2.3 US qt or 2.2 litres like I said

 

my bad i didnt read carefully enough..i didnt see, or at least didnt register the liter part...

If you don't jack up the back, you may not get all the old fluid out.

sack-who says this was the case with his EF Monday.

 

But there should be enough fluid in there right? That is what I am concerned with right now.

 

Fo sho. You'll be aight on a street car.

I highly doubt that just jacking up the front will change the amout od fluid that gets in there. The drain plug is on the side of the tranny if memory serves. So what if you're out by .2L .

 

I thought we were talkin' 'bout jacking up the back.

??

Well if you really wanna get some fluid in there, drain it with the car level, and fill it with the only the back lifted 8^)
