Anyone have the how to and or pics on changing the transmission fluid on a 95 Acura Integra hatchback....and has anyone used the seafoam tras flush?

Sorry it's an automatic

 

Ps. I've also heard that if your over 100,000 miles and you haven't had it changed that changing it can do more harm than good...I bought that car used and it was in rough shape and have been working on it alot to get it cleaned up and running like a dream so I can sell it and get back to driving a stick :lol:

 

Make sure you only use Genuine Honda ATF, if you can't get ahold of some I'd wait until you can.

On a Honda automatic, a very large portion of the fluid won't come out when you drain it, and since it isn't safe or wise to ever do a "flush" on a Hondamatic, it would be best if you did 3 drain & refills with a little driving in between each.

Normally one drain is enough, but if it's been well over 30,000 miles since it was changed, it would be a good idea.

edit: never used the seafoam transmission product, but I'd avoid it just to be safe since the filter on those isn't removable (without a rebuild) whereas on most automatics you'd be able to replace the filter after it gets all plugged up with the crap the seafoam will remove.

I'd look in your owners manual to see if it has instructions, otherwise do a search here and maybe on Google, otherwise you could just pick up a service manual as it will pay for itself over time.

 

Thanks...I have looked over both my Chiltons and Haynes manuals and they haven't been too helpful nor have I been able to find to much on the filter that can't be taken out so I'm kinda stuck.

 

The best way to get the filter off is is to get the proper filter adapter and attach it to your wrench for easy removal. Me personally I use a filter plier but I have both.
