Transmission oil pressure switch Hey guys, first post here. Working on my daughter's 2015 Civic LX (darn CVT tranny) After noticing a huge puddle of tranny fluid in driveway when she left I called her back, looked under car, and saw it was covered. Took all the covers off to see where it was coming from, hoping it wasn't the main seal. It wasn't. So much fluid I couldn't see specifically where it was coming from. So I wiped everything and ran the car switching through the gears then looked again. Found it was coming from the pressure switch. Here's a crazy part, ran my finger around the switch and was shocked. It wasn't even finger tight. Have no clue how it loosened up. I was only able to snug it tight with an adjustable wrench b/c of the tight spot so it's not gonna stay tight. I don't have a wrench that size so I cant see what size it is so I'm looking for the size (deep) socket I need to tighten the pressure switch. Also need the torque amount so I don't over tighten it. If anyone knows TIA |
Re: Transmission oil pressure switch Probably 7/8 inch if it is a pressure switch, and torque depend on what it is and what the seal or gasket is made of... Can't give a spec if I have no idea what you're dealing with... If it's got a soft aluminum crush washer, tight enough to squash the washer a little bit similar to how an engine oil drainplug feels. |
