Good thread!

 

Good DIY, but you should never use a torque wrench to loosen bolts.

 

Thanks for the nice write up. I was planning to take my car in soon for a transmission fluid change and rear differential change, but I think I will try and tackle it myself. Now you just need to have a DIY rear differential fluid change! lol.

 

THANK YOU SIR!!!!

 

very nice detail organization.

 

Strong Work, Stickied.

 

Great Job!

 

Yep,did the same as you.New Honda fluid seems ok.I changed from the GM Syncro FM.

I used ramps instead of jacking/stands.EZ!

I like to chng the trans & diff fluid every 3rd oil change.


Great Writeup..

I picked up the same pump and used it for my last transmission change. It took forever to pump the fluid and the pump fell all apart.

I had to come up with another idea to make it less messy and efficient to get the fluid in.

I got two clear 1L bottles and a pump from a local beauty store. The pumps are much stronger and the tube is larger in diameter that it pumps fluid quickly. Get some 1/4 clear hose from home depot and fit it on the end. Voila!

The only thing is you have to pour the fluid first into the bottles, which is not a problem for me.

 

You can just run a 4-5 ft vacuum hose into the engine bay and funnel it in. Cost a couple of bucks.
