Go for drive and notice no real difference in shifting.Just changed my Manual Transmission fluid after reading these posts. Point out that you have just saved a load of cash doing the job yourself. Torque to 44 NM.ġ1) clean up the epic mess of transmission fluid from the under car shield, replace the two peg fasteners, refit wheel, lower car, torque wheel nuts to 108 NM.ġ2) apologise to other half for mess on driveway. Slowly pour in approximately 1.4 litres of oil.ġ0) once the oil starts to run out of the hole (save as the one you're filling via) remove the hose and put in the plug with new washer. Feed the hose via the wheel arch and into the filler hole. You can get a funnel with smaller hose attached from eBay for not too much. I used a garden hose which is a bit too big and it makes it hard so see when the gear box is full as it acts a plug itself. Keep it safe! You need a funnel with a hose, ideally a bit smaller than the fill hole. In my case this involved a bit of lowering with the jack.

I also put an absorbent sheet in slightly the wrong place under the car. I opted to drill a 20 mm hole in sightly the wrong place through the plastic under car shield. It's reasonably tight with limited space so an impact driver makes the job easier and saves your knuckles.Ĥ) the main problem with this job is how to drain the fluid without getting it everywhere. The drain plug is just below the inner CV joint, the fill plug is just behind the inner CV joint.ģ) undo the fill plug with a 17 mm socket. Pull it down and you should now see the two plugs you need to undo. This makes access much easier and avoids the need to remove the engine service cover or the full under shield. My drive is on a slope so I had to jack up the car a bit and use a small spirit level on the sill to check.ġ) loosen the left hand wheel nuts, jack up, support and remove the wheel.Ģ) carefully pry out the two plastic peg fixings on the dirt shield inside the wheel arch. The car needs to be level when you refill so consider where you do this. (I haven't found the spec to suggest an alternative, but the Honda fluid from Cox Motors was cheaper than I could get elsewhere anywayĢ0 and 14 mm aluminium sump washers (Cox motors do the pair as a service part).
