i use the hondat stuff.
and the only place i knwo to fill from is to take out the speedo cable i thinnk it is from the trannyand fill it in there. its on the top side of the tranny if thats what your talking about

 

I am not sure which nipple you are talking about, the proper way to fill up the transmission casing is through the "inspection hole", on a level ground, that way you are sure of the quantuty.

Yes you can use Honda MTF, it is actually the best one I have used and you should stick to it IMO.

No there is not a special oil for the LSD.

 

I usually will open the hole on the side and pump it in, but it is hard when you are doing it in your garage to keep the car level at the same time.

So next time I do it I will just crack open the fill hole on the side, lower the car with a tray under the hole, then add tranny fluid via the VSS hole until it drains out the hole on the side.

 

thanks peeps.

 

are you talking about the little breather nipple on top of the tranny? my friend fills his there on his DOHC del sol. hes never had a problem, but i still use the standard fill hole.

 

yeah...i have this problem too

 

no one understands my humor

 

no, we just ignore your "humor"

 

not ever having sex is really beginning to effect your behavior

 

pepboys has a long funnel with flexable extension.

I run it from above the tire down.

 

thats a great idea,thanks...does anyone else have loss in trany fluid.

 

I use the same method....I ripped off some fish tank tubing from my fish tank and a small funnel. I had to rip out the airbox so I could get to the filler though.

 

For what it's worth I laughed at Soup ****'s joke

 

I didn't get it. I just fill from the check hole.

 

? I don't even know how to check my tranny oil....

 

It's a closed system so if your loosing tranny fluid you have a leak.

 

its ok, i understand your humor.. quite funny i may add.. hahahah

 

did i miss something? .

just about every resource i've read about points out they are progressive in the front

 

lol soup, don't worry, hang in there buddy you'll get yo's hehe...

 

hehe my reply could have been (and was) taken the wrong way

you need differente resources progressive front springs would feel like *** what resources are you using? I couldn't find any that said the fronts were progressive

-Dave, who is adding another thread to this one

 

... wow. i swore this was the case.

back in the day when i was doing some heavy research on which springs to get, etc....i went around looking for spring rates for various manufacturers. albeit it would make more sense for them to be in the back,.... the 3-4 different sites stated the itr shocks were 240 in rear, 180-240 in front,

and the reason i got the h&r's is because it was 320 in rear, 360 in front...

maybe they put the numbers in wrong?

edit: dave is right, rear of stock itr spring is progressive! i read the tables wrong... H&R springs are NOT progressive!
