Hi guys. Can someone please let me know how much tranny fluid i need to use to refill a manual tranny on my d16y8? Thanks!

 

I buy three bottles of Honda MTf, and fill it up with 2.5 quarts.

 

aren't you supposed to fill it it til it spills out? correct me if i'm wrong.

Well, it's supposed to be filled right to the point of spilling....But how much fluid is that?

2.5 quarts?

the ole shop manual says 2 quarts,then fill to it comes out of the fill hole.i knowi've seen somwhere where it says an actual measurement,but i can't find it.i'm almost positive it said 2.3 quarts.anyways,whenever i do it,it takes just under 2.5 quarts.......could i have rambled any more?

what happens if it is overfilled. is it terribly bad? cuz i ususally put more than the point to where it spills. i put a little extra because my tranny has a small leak.

 

What fricken port are you guys filling it in!?!

1.8 Quarts.

The fill plug is on the side of the transmission not the top.

You park on a level ground and pour using funnel until fluid starts to come out and then put the bolt back in place.

 

I put 3 in mine...

 

There seems to be a lot of variance between the answers, like between 1.8 qts, and 3 qts. I need to know the exact amount, cause im gonna be filling the tranny from the top of the transmission by taking out the speed sensor ( i think that's the assembly up there).

Anyway, this method is very easy because there's just one little bolt up there, and the sensor comes right out. A funnel can then be lowered right into the hole, and the tranny can get refilled a lot easier than running a long hose down near the axle. Plus, the car can be nice and level, since a corner of the car won't have the be jacked-up when refilling.

I know it sounds kinda weird refilling from the top, but there was a very nice informative post with detailed pics about how to do this. i can't seem to find it right now, but i'll try to keep looking for it.

Thanks!

I dont' think there's such a thing as Honda MTF.. I spoke with several Honda Automotive techs and they all say just use standard motor oil, 10w30 or 5w30. However, ATF, is supposed to be from HONDA..

Everytime I've had to fill tranny fluid was becuase I was changing the axle or the tranny.. I just fill through the axle hole until the oil starts spilling over. I've tried the other way with the smaller hole, and it's not as easy. just cut off a 3-4 feet section off an old water hose and fit it to a funnel.. works just fine.

 

This is the way to do it. Level off the car on jack stands. Buy 2 quarts of HONDA manual transmission fluid. Drain the tranny. Put the plug back in. Take off the filler bolt. Fill it up until the fluid comes back out. Thats how you know its full. Oh, and HONDA does sell MTF. Not recommended to go with some other crap just spend the 3.00 a quart and do it right. CHILTON manual page 1-39 states its 1.8 quarts to fill.

If I had a digi camera I would take a picture. In my room I have 3 quarts of "Honda Genuine Manual Transmission Fluid" &lt;= MTF. ATF would be auto tranny fluid.

If you need proof, call up a Honda dealer and ask for a price on something. Then read them this UPC code: 786102101028, or 08798-9016.

Also, you might want to see if these Honda techs actually work for Honda.

Found my old webcam....

I went to a Honda dealership back in my Accord days to get some MTF, and they said I could use regular engine oil, but I did buy their "MTF" but it didn't say Honda MTF.. that was what, 6 or 7 years ago.. besides.. it was Wisconsin.. bunch of hicks working anyway.. so whatever.. i'll humor you and take your word for it.

 

mista bone says 1.8 quarts i believe and i am taking his word for it

 

thought it was 1.9, so i wasnt far off of 1.8 qts

Same here...I always buy two bottles and it starts overflowing before i'm done with the 2nd bottle...

 

yup

 

i wanted to add: a little less than 2 quarts here too...anything more than 2 quarts....how the hell would you even do that?

 

I just fill it up until it is over flowing...pull the funnel out...put the plug in...the tranny will burn the fluid it doesnt need
