Ok i did a search and found out a lot about manual transmissions. unfortunatley i found almost nothing on automatic. in my users manual it says that my transmission will hold 2.9 q of ATF-Z1 from honda. but below it it says 'total: 6.0 q'.....so what is it, when i replace my fluid should replace it with 2.9 quarts or 6. i guess i'm confused on what the 6 is referring too.

A lot gets held up in the torque converter, so it doesn't completely empty when you drain it. I would drain it and refill it twice over the course of the weekend to get most of that fluid out.

Um yeah there are at least 4 diy posts and 10 more other question posts. It's 2.9, but you need to check the level with the car warmed up to know for sure.

doing that only drains out the 3 quarts you previously filled. You are not getting the fluid from the torque converter.

6 quarts is when flushing the tranny, 2.9 is for drain and refill.
