Gear oil refill
OK dumb question.....where and how do I drain the gear oil for the tranny? I bought some stuff by Redline and dont know where to put it. I wanted to do it before this weekend, so any help would be cool, pic would be nice too if anyone has some. The car is a 89 CRX DX 5speed ....thanks

if u get under the crx and look at the tranny, you will see a 17mm? bolt ont the i think back side of the tranny, that is waht u g2 pull out. if its not on the back of the tranny its right aroound there. pull that out, get a rag or sumthin under the hole, and get a looong tube and funnle. fill up the tranny by using the tube and funnle, untill fuid starts to come out. be sure when you are filling it the car is on a level surface, because the way u know it is full is when the fluid is level with the botom of the bolt hole. Have fun man!

wrong, it is a bolt on the bottom of the transmission that you just put the rachet into without a socket. Lowest blot on the trans. The fill bolt is like 2 inches up and 3 over. 17mm I think.

My bad, I thought I had Redline. I bought this stuff, LUCAS High Performance/Heavy Duty 85/140 plus gear oil. I seen a "demo" gear set with this in action, It contains "climbing additives. Now is this the right stuff I need? is it good?
