Hey guys, I'm trying to find out if you can fill the tranny with MTF through the VSS hole. The hole you put the cable into the tranny. I know the proper way to do it, and everything, but I was wondering if it's possible to do it through there. That way I know if it's filled up all the way. For some reason I don't think it fills up all the way with the regular way.
Thanks guys.

 

I know what you mean and I worry about this also... I'm pretty sure there's a large bolt on the top of the transmission that you can remove and fill through instead of using the side hole. Just open the side hole so you can see when the oil starts to leak out, and then remove the bolt on top of the transmission and fill through that hole instead. I'm not sure if using the VSS would work also, but I'm pretty sure this bolt I'm speaking of is more accessible.

 

I'm not sure what bolt you're talking about. Would you be able to show a pic? Or maybe a better description on where the bolt is at?
Thanks.

 

jack the car up on the passenger side and fill it. put plug in before you lower car and fluid will be over necessary level

 

Damn!
That's a good idea. I never thought of that.
Thanks for the idea Mr. Carpenter

 

glad to help

 

Here is the one bolt you could use, if your have a b series tranny.

 

I do have a B series. Thanks for the pic.

 

You might not "think" its filled up the other way but it is....fill it till it runs out. Thats just the way its done.

 

That's the bolt I was looking for

pretty tranny

 

my s1 tranny has a hole in the top, all i do is remove this rubber cap and then fill. dont you guys have that too...?

 

Bolt, hole... to me for not knowing the difference....

 

Someone commented about being over necessary level, doesn't the oil come out of areas if you fill it too much?

EDIT: I'm not talking about it draining out showing you that it's filled, I'm talking about if you fill it too much it's supposed to come out of the flywheel inspection plate and other areas.

 

not if the casing is totally sealed as it should be

 

If you overfill it shifting feels like you're pushing through more fluid, just fill it the normal way and you and your car will be happy

 

i always use the vss hole. no need to mess with pumps or waiting drop by drop with the rubber capped hole.

 

The bling factor on that tranny is sweet! how'd you get it so nice lookin&gt;?

So you can fill the tranny from the hole on top of the tranny with the black rubber cap??? I wondered what that was for.

 

i just drain the tranny and then use the back up sensor hole to fill the tranny back up. you can get the capacity specs from many manuals.

Its actually a breather hole for the trans. Don't know how much the tranny can breath though with that rubber cap on top.

 

Why dont you just do it like Honda says? 2 qts. through the fill hole....oh wait Honda doesnt know what they're talking about.

 

Ef *****, calm down. I do know how to fill it like Honda say's. It's just that it starts seeping out before I put the complete amount. Like half a qt. before. I'm not trying to over fill it, I'm just trying to find a better way to put the exact amount that the Helms says to put in. That's all.
So it is ok to fill it through the breather hole, right?

 

efwhore i dont remember Honda saying throwing turbos on and upgrading the **** out of their engines was cool, but looks like we do it anyway!!! be alittle open minded filling in that breather hole is cool, i do it and it works, just remove that plug on the side to let the air out when you fill in the breather. also you might not be able to fill the tranny with the same amount as helms says because of some fluid that might not come out when draining because of the way the tranny is positioned?? thats my guess.

 

you can use the vss hole..just take out the whole vss and pour in your MTF..i always do this cause my trans casing is crack so i need to refill it like every other week
