whats are your opinions? thx

 

Here are some facts on 3 ITR's:

1. Changed tranny fluid of Black R's ITR w/ ~8,000 miles. No metal debris found in the fluid. Fluid wasn't dirty at all. (Black R's car is always driven hard and autoX-ed.)
2. Changed tranny fluid of pyromaster's ITR w/ ~10,000 (?) miles. No metal debris and fluid is in good condition. (pyromaster's car has seen numerous race tracks.)
3. After seeing the results, needless to say that my ITR w/ 7,000 miles did not receive a tranny fluid change. (mine is a daily driver... so maybe I'll have more metal crap, who knows.)

HOWEVER, if you grind your gear a lot and you have 30 minutes of free time + extra $10 in you pocket, go for it. I'm planning to change mine out as soon as the weather warms back up in the spring... when I should have around 12,000 miles.

 

20k miles would be overkill IMO... good preventive maintance tho.... what's $13 worth of MTF to you....

you ever check out the big magnet in the bottom of the tranny case?

Nah. We just drained at the drain plug, and filled at the fill plug. Oh yeah, we also put in that overpriced spoon magnetic drain plug instead of the stocker...

 

I do oil and MTF change every 3000 miles. Fuel filter and pcv valve every 6000 miles. Yeah yeah... "unnecessary maintenance".

Save it. I work for Acura. My chit is cheap.

 

Fresh MTF every other oil change (6k).

Like Mike K said, I am **** as well. Mobil 1 10w-30 & Honda MTF...yummy

 

sheesh MIKE if i worked for ACura/Honda I would do the same thing!...I dont see why not!

 

I don't really have a choice with my love/hate it KAAZ LSD....

-love it for the performance returns.....HATE it for the maintenance costs and arghh.....re.reee..rrrr...reBUILD...-

 

Honda MTF. A search will turn up lots of good information in this topic:

wow, that is serious overkill with fuel filter/pcf... but like you said... cheap. dunno... my tranny with 70k miles, and 3 fluid changed looked fuggin brand spanking new IMO.... dave, you got any opinion on that?

D

 

I change my fluid every 15,000 miles. Cheap insurance.

 

D: Well.. I'm not NEARLY that **** I changed mine at 7500 or whatever, then about 1000 miles after... uhmm.. it's been over 30,000 since then though.

 

actually jacknob.. i meant what was your opinion of my tranny internals at 70k miles.

 

Oh, they were in HORRIBLE shape.

No, they were in good shape, just a wittle wear.

 

How do you change the MTF? Does anyone have a how to?

 

LITFM. Every 30K miles or 24 months, whichever comes first.

If you're going to do your own work on your car, it's essential.

I know where to drain it but where do you add the fluid?

 

i just changed mine at 25,000 miles.. i have been changing mine every year since i had my first car which was an accord. Its just a mental thing knowing you 've got fresh fluid in there every year...


tj

 

its on the side.. you can use a fluid pump thing you buy cat the auto store .. .. if you've gots time i can show you during the weekend dennis...or better yet you can do it in my garage..

 

i just did mine last night (~36K miles). Took about 20 min to finish.

yoshi - whose going home now to get ready for willow springs

 

changed mine at 16K

 

Changed mine at 9000 miles cause was having tranny issues; feels good as new now!

 

There is an easier way to change your tranny fluid. Get a very long funnel or a hose to attach whatever funnel you have. Remove the intake hose (to get access to the fill plug) and you should be able to fill the tranny fluid from above the engine bay. Simple and a much quicker way than using the pump.

 

nice..!!!!!!
