Adding Synchromesh

[jdmkid]

i filled mine in 1 minute. whats so hard about using a funnel? all u need is a long funnel wich they have anywere.....$2, stick it in the fill hole and fill until it starts to dribble out.....simple. adding it through the breather is fine but takes more time. the fill holes there for a reason......use it.

hmm thats cool i always thought you couldnt put it donwn that but if it works hey and the benifit of that would be when you fill your tranny the car needs to be level and if you dont have 4 jackstands thats a great way to do it

i use those hand operated pumps that screw onto the oil bottles. i think i got it at autozone for like 3 or 4 bucks, very f ing easy to do

in my civic you could take off the VSS and fill that way....unfortunatly i dont know enough about accords to tell if you can do the same

i think ill put some of this stuff in my 186k tranny with original fluid ..... yeah that old lady didnt take car of it too well

i just bought 2qrts of MTF from Acura and 1 qrt. of Sycromesh .. cost me like 20 bucks in all.. hmm.. why'd i buy 2qtz of MTF? lol.. for some reason i was thinking our cars took 3qtz. Damnit could of saved me 5 bucks..

u guys know if acura sells thier stuff(fluids) at a higher price then honda dealership?

Syncromesh was freqin 6.09 at Kragen. . damnit should have went to autozone.. could of saved myself a buck

You probably could to it that way but it would be a huge hassle. You'd have to take off the air intake just to get to the VSS. Then you'd have to disconnect the VSS, making sure you keep that little spinning rod, fill it through a tiny hole in an awkward location. You're much better off just using the fill hole.

Damn. Just... damn. That can't be the original tranny?

Get a large syringe without a needle. The bigger the syringe, the better. The best are the ones for animals, especially horses. Put a length of vacuum hose on the end. Now you've got a device that can push the oil horizontally so you don't have to hold a funnel and hose above the fill hole.


make sure ur using a huge hose if ur using anything synthetic, or this could take a few hours. i know from expierence unfortunately

Someone had posted that they were filling the transmission through a vent hole. This may work! BUT!!! He/she didn't make any mention of removing the fill/check plug and letting the fluid level off. The bottom of the fill/check plug is the full mark on the manual transmission.... not the top of the vent hole.
