well i finished another swap in my car and i usually fill the tranny up with oil through the side with this special oil pump untill oil starts to drip back ou but now i dont have that tool right now and remember that i can fill the tranny up through the VSS hole. now i am going to do this but i dont know how much is too much when filling through that hole, i dont want to over fill it has anyone done this before and can tell me how i know when i have enough fluid in the tranny?

 

it helps if you say what engine/tranny you have....


my D16Z6 takes 2 quarts....B18C5 tranny takes like 3.5 I believe

 

2 quarts for honda b and d series transmissions

technically for a b series its 1.8 at a refil 2.1 at overhaul.

dont know the exact d series numbers.

 

i have a b16 with my old type r lsd tranny S80. i leaked tranny oil from where my axles were because i had top replace the axle seals and i dont think its completely empty i just want to fill it back up throgh the VSS. is there too much oil in the tranny if i top it off through the vss, u know like if theres oil coming out of the vss hole ? or is that too much?

 

thats way too much

remove the filler hole then fill from the VSS
when it comes out of the filler its full.

 

ahh good call ok ill do that. i didnt do the above yet i was just thinking about it. but your way sounds right thanx man

 

i know its right thats how its supposed to be done hehe

 

bahhh just ghetto rig a funnel and a tube with tape ba bam!

yup . that's how i did it. after it started coming out of the side hole i poured about another 1/4 quart because you have to compensate for the tranny being tilted (since it's jacked up).

 

yup even the haynes manual says to wait for it to overflow through the top hole LOL ... before I changed it I was like WTF ... but it works and my tranny is fine
