well, uhm, i wrote this up for the people without opposable thumbs to open books

 

simple, take all mileage and divide by 3

 

daym, that's a lot of typing

I'll FAQ this when I get to work tomolo

yshi - who just got back from The Block w/ 234 in one piece

 

Thanks!

-Chris, who has 30K miles... real hard ones.

 

no problem

 

Thank you

 

Thanks I'm printing that and stapling it up in my garage.

 

way to help out the lazy asses

 

LOL!
I don't see the clean and lube of the antenna.

 

this is the acura maintenence papers, straight from acura dealers...

 

Page 129 of my 97 Owner's Manual lists "Clean antenna mast" under the severe condition maintenance schedule @ 15 K mile increments.

Other than that, you've pretty muche covered everything else.

P.S. -- Oddly enough it also says that Canadian owners should follow the severe maint. schedule.

 

yea man, i seriously appriciate it

 

thanks man, i appreciate your work

 

uh... i took my itr to a local independent repair shop with a good reputation for it's 15k service, and they told me i don't need to change the tranny fluid till 30k. i brought up changing the tranny fluid, but they said i didn't need to worry about it. am i in danger of voiding a warrenty? do i need to take the car back in, or is it a relatively simple proceedure?

 

I'd never thought i'd see this thread brought up again.

if you have the rear spare jack in the car, you can change the tranny fluid.

 

yeah... i like bringing things back from the dead.

well... i do have the rear spare jack, so i guess i can do it myself. what size tool do i need? any tricks i need to know? how much honda tranny fluid do i need to pick up?

1 liter will do.

do a search, lots of times this has been put up.

basically theres a drain/fill plug. i think they are 19/17mm respectively, but with my forgetful mind, better look it up.

torque wrench, and a tube/funnel to feed the fluid in. thats it.

if you dont feel confident doing this, just goto the dealer and have them do it.

its a no brainer, but some people arent cut out for even this sort of work. good luck. i believe theres a page on c-speedracing.com that covers this.

edit: (one year later) : i cant believe i said 1 liter....prolly closer to 2-2.2 quarts
