I'm (finally) getting ready to do my clutch install.

I was told by a few people (one of which who installed his clutch into his turbo integra, that I see driving around fine and everything.)

That you just use 10-30 to 10-40 motor oil instead of transmission fluid...

even though i've rolled with the kid who did this to his clutch when he installed it and it runs fine, it sounds a little on the sketch side to me.

Does anyone have any enlightenment to bring to my table?

 

shouldnt use anything else but Genuine Honda MTF

 

Use motor oil in place of tranny oil, and it's absolutely FINE.

 

Ok... so we're 1 and 1...
but your name is arrogant... so more like 1.25 and .75 :P

Any other people wanna chime in, please?

 

ive always use honda mtf. you can use motor oil, but i dont recall what weight to use.

 

If you have any doubts, go with genuine Honda MTL. Some older integra manuals recommend the use of 10w30 motor oil. These manuals were written before honda developed there own MTL, and have since been updated to say "the use of 10w30 should only be used as a temporary solution." If you are willing to drain and fill the oil again if something goes wrong, you should look into the use of high quality synthetic transmission oils.

 

my 94 i used a synthetic 10w30...thats what the book said to use but then they may not have hadthe honda fluid yet. and it seemed to work just fine no problems

 

Motor oil can lubricate the motor so it can do the same for the transmissoin.

 

what he said

 

I was going to do an oil change and other misc. things to my car, but I was told to use Honda engine and transmission oil. Where can i acquire it? My brother suggested that I use Royal purple, any one beg to differ???
