anyone done the oil change on their ATTS?? ... i know it takes about 1 litre of ATF, but where are the drain and fill bolts?? ... it's not in the owner's manual, and i'm having a hard time finding it on the net ... anyone have pics?? ... thanks in advance ...

please email answers to h22a_bb6@yahoo.com

 

yeah ive done it... on accident lol... funny story, pm me to hear it


anyhow, about the best way to get to this bolt (number 33 in the pic) is with about 5 long extensions, and the wheel off the car... thats the fill bolt

the drain bolt is the one down underneath the car, that doesnt have the line and the banjo bolt connected to it (number 22)

but basically number 22 is easy to get to ... just drain it, put the thing back in...

then jack the car up, put about 5 extensions together coming out of the wheel well and unscrew number 33. Take a funnel and attach a hose of somekind to it, put that hose in the hole you just took the bolt out of fill with 1-1.5 qts of ATF and then but number 33 back in

dont forget to put your wheel back on too lol

 

I always thought there was no ATTS fluid.... its been repeatedly claimed in the toronto club... hondaprelude.to

i've heard the same thing, but i knew better as it's clearly stated in the shop manual. it's a self lubricating assembly, much like the transmission.

 

read your Helms it calls for HMTF just like the tranny.

i dont knwo if that was a typo, but it calls for honda AUTOMATIC transmission fluid, you would probably realize that right about the time you drain it out and its bright red!

and yes it does have fluid,

 

thanks a bunch buddy ... that diagram really really helps!! ... i'll give it a try later this week

 

oh yah, i think you're right, i have verfied with several ppl and it's supposed to be ATF

 

vtecfiendsh..

looks like you finally got a hold of a helms Lemme know if you need anymore of it..

 

hate to bring this back up, but if i disconnected the fuse, which is in the engine bay fuse box im assuming ...would the ATF go bad? Is it bad for the atts unit to be sitting there as dead weight, disconnected? I plan to remove it later, but for now I wanted to disconnect the unit. TIA!
