transmission flush question???

[oo_phuong]

ok i dont kno if this is the rite forum to post this or maybe i prolly shoulda posted this in diy but i have an f23a1 vtec 5 spd, and im wonderin how many bottles(quarts) do i pour into the transmission?? n also, i pour it in the dipstick holder right??

i was goin to drain it all cuz i was gonna get the left axle replaced since both cv joints been shot from that axle, and i have 1 bottle of full synthetic motor oil 10w-30 and i dont think thats enough, can someone help me?? im guessin maybe 2-3??

Drain & refill - 2 Qts. of 10w-30 or 10w-40 motor oil.

why use motor oil???

1st of all, there is no transmission dipstick on a manual transmission in 6th gen accords. There is a fill hole directly above the drain hole. You simply drain the old out, and refill untill fluid starts coming out of the fill hole.
2nd, I wouldn't use motor oil. I would use MTF. If not Honda MTF, I would use something like Redline MTF. Just MO

wait so this isnt for the transmission dipstick? i read a forum on hondatech awhile back n they were talkin bout transmissions n they were sayin somethin bout pourin it in there so i thought thats what it is since the stick goes all the way down there

but i kno what you mean, someone sent me this earlier

so is that dipstick for the motor?? i use to thought that since it was rite next to it until i read the hondatech forum then it knocked me off

we got a NOOB here...lol..

yea i kno haha, thats why im here.....

no no no no! don't use oil! use 2 bottles of MT honda fluid

ok thanks, 2 bottles it is.....could i find honda or redline mtf in any autopart store?? when i was at autozone the guy jus said to get 10w-30 motor cuz i had a 5spd so i didnt kno there was actually mtf, i only saw atf



oh yea, would anythin wrong happen if i used 10w-30?

I work at autozone and when I looked it up it just said HONDA MTF but we don't carry it so thats all it said. Doesn't say anything about using motor oil.
