what kind of fluid do i put in my transmission and where the hell do i put it!? lol either my car is missing the place to put it or im blind. please help!..oh and the car is a manual btw.

 

Honda MTF

It can be added through the dipstick straw, but that's a PITA since it's so small. Also there is a fill plug on the top of the tranny.


The drain plug is on the bottom in case you haven't found that either.

 

honda MTF. There is a fill bolt on the side(ish) and a drain bolt bottom of the trans.

 

Oh ... sorry. I thought it was on top ..... I guess you have to pour it in sideways

 

alright thanks, so i take a bolt out and pour it in? kinda odd ha

 

use a funnel

 

well i figured that lol thanks bud

 

LOL ...... just thought that was the odd part. [sm=smiley20.gif]


Make sure that you drain and fill the right places though ..... in HS autoshop, a kid was trying to do a tranny fluid change and he dumped the oil and double filled the tranny!!! When he started the car, the oil light came on and he figured out his problem (since he wasn't supposed to be doing anything to the oil). The car had to stay overnight to get the new fluids, but luckily there was no real problem.

 

If you can find one of those long necked flexable funnels it will make your life MUCH easier, a short funnel will work but it's kinda difficult....

 

Also, just since it hasn't been said.... just fill the fluid up to the base of the bolt hole, it's pretty hard to overfill a manual...
