transmission drain & fill plugs?

[starchland]

guys, just want to double check, are these the drain and fill plugs here circled in red? cause i saw something else just wanted to double check. thanks

That is the drain plug, the fill plug is located higher up on the side of the tranny. Be sure to spray some PB blaster or something on the drain bolt. When I tried to change my fluid the socket wrench tore through the bolt head, so I had to attempt to drain the tranny through the fill plug by jacking up the car. Not fun!

and uhh.. don't do a complete flush. keep some of the old stuff in there too..

Get that nasty ass old oil out of there there is no use for it. than run oil thru it and rotate the wheels so you can get in the gears. install the lower plug and fill till it starts to come out the top hole. let it drain to a small little stream rotate tires install plug and you in. I put synthetic 5-30 castrol in my tranny and it is like butter...

So is the fill one the top one in the pic? cause i took it off and there was like a small hole and like some weird metal piece crimped on type i dunno

[starchland]

but what i circled there is two plugs, what are those for? drain and the other to check the level?

[FishyMan]

just a quick question, when u guys replace washer and or screw for stuff like oil, radiator, trans, etc., exactly what kind should it be? like for the trans, the metal or hard plastic washer?

im gonna do the auto trans flush so just curious. i dotn wanan replace it w/ a washer that miht cause leakage.

i tried aftermarket, and believe some of them just can't secure nicely and cause drips. like my oil.

Are these instructions the same for an auto tranny? I fill it up til it ports out the drain plug, and there's a fill plug higher up on the side?

The reason you keep some of the Tranny fluid and dont do a COMPLETE flush is because over time the vescoicty (sp) changes and if you revert completly back to original vescosity the tranny will go out on you. A/T Only.

I've had this confirmed by a number of Honda Mechanics as well as morons who have no clue what they are talkign about If you have a M/T you should be able to do a full flush. Only like 2 qts anyways.

so basically, drain it and add new, dont worry about getting through the gears and making sure all the crap is out, just pull the plug and then fill it back up..?..

I dont have an auto tranny so i wouldnt know about that. But if someday i buy an auto for my girl ill remember that.

I originally posted a pic of a manual tranny. Whats the other bolt i circled then?

hmm i see the drain plug on the upper right, and i know that the other one isnt the filler one, because its rounded, wtf is that?..its a a little dirty around that area..hmm

[lowoctane]

The drain plug is lower, at the axle.

The link has already been posted.

oh i know that, just talkin about the one in the pic, theres those two, the one in the upper right of the pic is the drain plug, the fill would be farther up on the left, if im not mistaken, and not perfectly round...hehehe

and theres the one he is talking about below the drain plug.

tranny help

if it is an auto the drain is a 3/8 ratchet on the bottom and to fill is through the dip stick on the top side it takes three quarts. manuals either a 3/8 ratchet on the bottom one and a 17mm on the top one which is on the side but maybe 3 inches higher and maybe 1 inch back near the differential. let me know
