ok so i decided to just do a fluid change any one know how many quarts i put in after the first drain? drain it , then add 3 quarts, then repeat 2 more times between the next 2 weeks, does that sound right?

 

yup, remmeber that ATF fluid qualifies as motor oil when dumping it, so you can just combine it all

 

ok so i just popped open the drain plug and man the fuild lokks like dark motor oil i guess it was time for a drain good thing i got around to it before it crapped out on me well weird thing i drian it for a couple of seconds then once all the fluid was finished it started to rain so i am waiting for the rain to relax so i can go back out there to fill it up. will update how the performance is when i finish refilling it. Thanks for the advice guys i fill that drainning it was the better thing to do.

 

Filled and test drived, and oh man great difference, smoother shifting no more jerking heads, but it did have a good racing feeling but rather have my tranny running with good fluid thanks guys.

 

 

Good deal.

 

I have a 2001/Accord /2.3L coupe. Mechanic said, you need a machine to drain your Transmission fluid? Is that true? I searched the net to do it myself, can't find anything. Help me please. Where is the drain bolt or plug? Owner manual sucks. Where do i get geninue Honda atf fluid..or whatever it is called?

 

they should just call it a wallet drain :rofl: save money drain and fill simple

 

Directly under the right-side axle, where it's attached to the tranny. The plug has a square hole so you use a 3/8" socket extension without any socket.

Fill thru the dipstick hole.
