Anyone else have this problem. Reading in the forums, everyone seems to have a breeze taking this plug off. But when i went under the car my access (w/ a socket wrench) is blocked by i'm not sure what. I tried a wrench but I think i'm stripping it instead of turning it.

Any insights?

 

Gotta use a wrench. A 6-point wrench if youve got it.
I never had any problems getting mine off, but last time i stripped the *****.
Had to remove the speedo pickup and fill the tranny there, takes 2.8l
if i remember correctly.

 

Use an 8mm t grip alan wrench. I just did mine today, works like a charm

 

Breaker bar with/without a socket works wonders on both the drain/fill plugs.....

 

Uh, mine's an outie, not an innie. Sounds like he has the same problem. It's like a 14mm or 17mm WRENCH you need. I used that with another larger wrench for more torque, and just strained the fark out of my shoulder trying to get it to turn.

 

My rear cross member gets in the way, I can't even fit a ratchet in there. So I use this bolt instead.

 

just fill it through the VSS hole. easy and fast way to pour the oil in. Cleaner also.

 

Is the VSS hole the one circled in the picture. But when u do it from there, won't u overfill ur tranny?

 

I've never had a problem taking that bolt off. Just get a 17mm closed end wrench. Just make sure it's a little long or you will have to use another wrench to increase the torque. I bought mine from Autozone for like 10 bucks. It's a nice long piece that has 17mm on one end and 19mm on the other.

 

Ok I just fu*ked myself over now. Using a grip wrench I ended up stripping the bolt even more. I"m thinking about filling from the top seriously but how much tranny fluid does the S1 tranny take. I dont' wanan over fill nor do I wanna under fill?

 

He just said 2.8 qrts.

Whoa man reading another forum there are all sorts of #'s
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=471857

he said 2.8L which equals 2.96qts; that sounds like quite a bit

 

That is a lot. Not sure about the S1, but the Y1 takes 1.9L to fill. The tranny isn't supposed to be completely full... instead, you're supposed to fill it until it runs out the fill plug. If you've stripped it and have to fill from one of the bolts on the top of the case, you'll have to be careful to not put too much in.

 

The y1 same as the jdm s1 in terms of volume?
What woudl happen if u over fill?

 

ehhem, http://b16a.honda-perf.org/care.html

its 2.2 quarts, if you dont believe me check out the sir manual

http://www.hondacrx.co.uk/ section 3-6

this way there is no more argueing


BTW all the trannys have the same volume, they all use the same cast, just have different gear gatios

which transmission do you have, b/c my J1 (i think...) it has a tube on the top where i can pull off a plug and pour in from there. I'm not sure, but I think so. I probably need to do this also.

 

Thats an s1, are you talking about the power steering fluid tubes, thats located a little higher in that pic.
