Transmission fluid ??
Does anyone know what type of transmission fluid goes in a 1989 Honda CRX si 1.6 ?? cuz i changed my CV shaft and a little came out. Thing is the fluid was red?? A friend of mine was saying that the transmission for the civic takes 10w30 engine oil is that true ?? cause for sure i don’t have no 10w30 in my transmission cuz its red fluid. Im going to change it What do i put back in ??

MANUAL tranny fluid is just 10w40 u can also get honda MTL or REDLINE MTL which i use, but with red fluid i have to ask are u running an automatic? because most automatic transmission fluids are red, if u are then get the correct type ATL NOT MTL

I would say go with the honda mtl it made my grinding si tranny feel a bit smoother. I currently use gm syncromesh in the 4wd wagon and I swear by it when my new tranny install is finished I'll see if it works wonders on that one too.
