    You should really purchase a Hayne's manual at the very least and know your capacities when changing fluids. If you're tight on money search this forum in the COMMON STICKIES, they're there for a reason!!

    Here's an online service manual link

    And here is the fluid capacities for your vehicle.

        LOL, what "sais" to fill it up?

        Vehicle capacities are given for a reason. You put 50% more than the capacity that is called for. Might as well stick 6 quarts of motor oil in on your next oil change.

        If I remember correctly, there is a fill plug that is in the side of the transmission so that you cannot overfill it. I can't verify as I am currently at work but you could by clicking the link I gave you and downloading the proper service manual.

            I really wouldn't go over the recommended amount, oil or tranny fluid. You're just asking for problems.

                Your statement contradicts itself.
                He is only asking if he overfilled the Trans.


                OP - Fill it till it comes out the fill hole, that is how much it needs.

                A "Finished" project car is never finished until its been sold.

                If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

                    It will come out the fill plug hole.
                    Do you know where the fill hole is? The 17mm bolt on the side of the diff housing.

                      I'm not contradicting myself, it's impossible to overfill the tranny if you use the proper method i.e. fill hole. He has no clue where it is so he obviously didn't bother opening a manual and went based off what "someone" said.

                      And to the me being an ass comment, buy a manual so you don't screw up your flippin car.

                        No balance shafts means add more oil? You have less rotating mass, there's no reason to increase the amount of motor oil you put in. Honda did the engineering and set the recommended amount for a reason.
