I just did a tranny fluid change in my vic. I'm so impressed with the difference it makes. I was read the manual, and it says you should do it like every 5 years or something like that. My car only has 37, 000 kms, and my car is about 2 and half years old.

I know all of our cars have shifting problems, and so on. I'm probably going to do this every year. Its so easy to do, and it cost $18 for 2 bottles of MTF from Honda.

The first instance I got in my car, I was so impressed with the change it actually makes. Shifting is soo much smoother, even though its the same crap honda put in from the factory.

For those with a 5spd civic, and have never done a tranny fluid change. I'd recommend you do one. It'll impress the crap out of you. Total cost in parts for me, around $40 dollars. I had to buy a manual pump from crappy tire to pump in the new MTF. For those who are wondering how hard this job is. If you can do an oil change, you can do this, virtually the same thing.

Anyways, I just wanted to post this for everyone's info.

Good stuff. I change my tranny fluid every 2 oil changes....which means....uh oh....this next change will be EXPENSIVE, my MAINT light just came on yesterday.

i changed at 96000...
and i use royal purple in my tranny. and I use 10W30... not their syncromax. (royal purple says that 10W30 works better than syncromax for our honda tranny)

my tranny works smooth like butter right now.

Every 2 oil changes?? whoa!! That's insane, but I guess its not that bad since it doesn't cost much if you do it yourself. I may do it more than once a year, but I'll see how my tranny feels throughout the summer. If it starts to shift like crap again, then maybe I'll change it again.

Yeah I just started doing it cause there was a whirring noise on clutch-in that appeared right around 2 oil changes but as soon as I changed the fluid it'd be gone. Plus it can't really hurt anything but my pocketbook....

I wonder if this helps your idle? (autotragic)... My idle when 'in gear' is kinda shakey..... I remember doing my 96k ATF change at the dealer, it felt pretty good after.... maybe I'll get one done at a local shop......... hrm....

I don't see it hurting, so give it a go.

hmm ya back to the topic, I'm at 155000km, about 500 track km's, I think its about time to do it! transmision feels jerky everytime I shift unless I do a 100% accurate rev-match if you know what I mean. so ya I'm gonna "buy some good oil and do my transmision" this weekend lol. Where do u guys get the fluid from? honda? Are there different kinds?

i just picked up some MTF from Honda, i told the parts guy i needed 1.6 qts of fluid and he gave me 3 - 1 litre bottles, anyone know what the conversion is, qts to litres?

 
Rep Power: 286

I'm not sure of the conversion of quarts to litres, but I do know all you need in 2 bottles. I even spilled some when I did my flush. I still had some left over in the second bottle. All you need is 2 bottles.

I'm pretty sure you use 2.4L of fluid when you do the change cuz that is how much I see them put into automatic cars

 
Rep Power: 286

auto and manual are different. Auto's hold more fluid.

just did a quick search on google. quarts and litres are almost identical. almost 1:1 ratio.

check it out.

So you probably need like 1.7-1.8 litres.

Alright then, Im going to bring the extra bottle back tomorrow since i have to pick up one of those touch up pens.
I told the guy give me 1.6 qts, i figured he would know what the conversion was from litres, I guess not. thanks for the help
