Accord tranny fluid question..
#12
Oh, and thanks for the info Crispin. I did a little research and it sounds to me like you are exactly right. Good thing I didnt go run to a tranny shop to have it power flushed. My friend who works at a mechanic shop told me to just bring it by there and they have "global" atf fluid. I was like "but crispin said honda fluid only!!" LOL

See youtube video from searching "10 min automatic transmission". This is called a flush, but is procedure that Jim indicated. I've done this w/o problems. This is an Accord in the video.
good luck

So I changed the tranny fluid today and didnt even try messing with flushing it. Im gonna do an engine/tranny swap in a year or so anyway. All I did was drain it, run a quart through it with it still open, and closed it up and filled it with a little less than 2.5 quarts, which made the level at the top line of the dipstick. Almost overfilled it. Glad I did it though my car shifts like butter now and I also got a cold air intake today and put that in in about 15 minutes. Everything else is stock. Great car with a little more ***** than it had before

Hmmm really now? I actually wanted to swap to a 5 speed but my friend kinda laughed and said I would be better off swapping to a slam style auto.
If you convince me otherwise your gonna be my new best friend because im dying to have a 5 speed but dont wanna dump my car. So, fill me in. Major modifications? Motor your used? transmission you used? Rough cost?

I actually made a few dollars on the swap.
I did a write-up on it, search for it under my user name
Bottom line is I bought a 95 accord with a 5 speed and a blown motor for $350, after getting all the parts I needed off of it, scrapping the body, and selling parts I have made around $100 plus I still have a bunch of spare parts for my car.

By "slam style" auto are you referring to a triptronic type set up where it is an auto but you can change gears by pressing a button?
If so that would have to be a completely custom set up that would be a complete nightmare as the 97-01 prelude type SH was the only one with one that would even come close to working, and it would be a wiring disaster.
I say you go with crispin's plan, buy a wrecked accord that is manual and swap all the parts over.
