I just did my second h22a swap into my accord, and I was getting the engine ready to start up, which hasn't happened yet, but that's another suck *** long story. But I was pouring the tranny fluid into the tranny yesterday and I didn't have the axels installed back in yet, well as I was pouring the fluid in, it came flowing out of the passenger side axel hole, this didn't seem right to me, but this is the first time that I've had to fill tranny fluid is this normal when the axel isn't hooked up, or do I have a huge problem on my hand.

 

yes this is normal, fill up your tranny only when both axles are in

 

Ditto

We were too lazy to drain the Kaaz gear oil out of the tranny when we were taking the engine out, funny thing is, it's so thick barely any came out

 

yeah! you... post ***** you...

 

yeap, I'm a *****

 

Sorry for this newbie question, but how often are you suppose to change your tranny fluid?

Because I haven't done that in ages.

I think every 10,000 miles is the spec, I just do it every oil change. It's not hard to do at all and it's cheap-**** insurance.

yeah, I use the Kaaz stuff too and when i pulled my axles it just kinda dribbled out for a sec and then nothing. My mech was like WTF it should have drained..? Good stuff tho for sure!!!

 

what if you take your axle out, but no tranny fluid comes out???

 

Then there's not enough oil.

 

or you already had oil leaking past the axle seal....
make sure the axle is seating right....
