Rep Power: 0 '96 Civic 1.5 - gearbox oil change
Hi all - first post time!
I've just bought a '96 Civic 1.5 vtec-e. Generally nice car, but there is some gearbox whine, especially in first gear.
Maybe the transmission is worn, but I like to check the MTF level to see whether it's just low on oil.
Can anyone advise how I would go about doing this - I've worked on cars for many years, but not familiar with this car (yet).
Many Thanks

but in all honesty if your gonna fill it you might as well change the fluid cause its one more plug and just as messy. Plus you dunno how long the fliuds been in there anyway. And make sure you use the right trans fluid

The man is asking how to check his mtf fluid and hes being told to change his tranny. So how do I check my engine oil? Should I just replace the whole motor?
