i changed the trans and diff oil today, and i dont have a torque wrench.....so i just tightened the bolts pretty tight.....that should be ok right??

 

yes should be fine, just don't tightened it too hard where it'll strip the bolt...I should know from experience.....

 

You should be fine. Just watch for leaks.

 

I just changed my diff/trans fluid the other day also and I was dissappointed because I just bought a $70 torque wrench and I couldn't use it because of where the fill bolt was on the diff. I ended up just tightening it by feel, as long as you don't go crazy tight you should be fine.

 

ill just check for leaks in few days....
by the way, for those of u that dont kno, make sure u get a good pump.....i bought a cheap ass one to save $ (still like $5 for a stupid pump.. ) and took like 5 min to pump 1 qt!! and the hose kept falling off and shittt now i have oil all over the floor of the garage....

 

^ YES!, a good pump is absolutely key for changing the diff/trans fluid. I went to pepboys the other night for a fluid pump and the retard behind the counter tells me that they only had a handpump POS that cost me 5 bucks. I wanted to change the fluid that night so I just bought it and went home to change the fluids. To make a long story short, TWO HOURS later the fluid was still siphoning, it was the biggest POS I have ever seen. I went back to pepboys two days later and I see in the next isle over they had a good pump 20 ft. away, and I was able to change both fluids with it in under an hour. Definitely get a good pump!

If you don't mind me asking, which differential and tranny fluid did you end up using? It's also time for fluids change in my car. I went to Honda and bought their stuff, but just wanted to see what you guys used. Are there other products out there that i should consider?

 

nevermind, i failed to read further down the forum topics where a member posted the question up for everybody.
