I wanted to change my tranny fluid before I store my car away (in 1 week).
But I cant undo the fill bolt/plug on my tranny, its just on way too tight.

I need someone or a shop to PLEASE help me out. I will pay some cash for your troubles. I just need this done within the next week. It really shouldnt take vary long with the right tools.

Can someone help me who has good tools, or power tools. I really appriciate it. Thanks.

Just called some shops to see how much they charged for a tranny fluid change. I have a manual transmission, so all its only a drain + fill, the job should only take like 30mins.

Shop 1: $70 and they want me to bring my own Honda fluid, HAHAH what a joke.

Shop 2: $79.95 , hahah what a comedian.

Shop 3: "We dont use honda fluid, its not need on a manual transmission, only automatic."
Yea, Im really going to trust this shop.

imported_Blougheed

imported_99CivicSiR

yea, I was thinking of calling honda, but they will prolly charge me my left ********, just to get a bolt undone.

Gallagher

give honda a call and tell them I sent you.....FREE !

imported_99CivicSiR

are you kidding ???

Here is what you can do, jack up the car, get a 1/2 or 3/8 rachet, and put a metal pipe over the handle to create more torque (longer distance) and losen the bolt that way.

It worked for us. Good luck.

$30 at honda, just have to supply the fluid.
Thank you honda ...

I already tried to put a longer pipe on it, and I bent the crap out of the pipe, and the bolt didnt move at all.

imported_99CivicSiR

I soaked it in WD-40 for 3 days, than used a LONG pipe, and still no luck...

Cynikal.Mindset

u sure ur turning it the right way????

imported_99CivicSiR

yup, lefty loosey, I also thought about that, unless for some reason, its reversed(righty loosey) on a Honda Transmission, but I dont see that being the case.

Nova_Dust

Left, as in clockwise? If you are under the car, facing the bumper/rear, you should be pulling instead of pushing the rachet.

Gallagher

use an air impact wrench....works wonders

imported_99CivicSiR

WAIT A MINUTE ...

If im under the car, shouldnt I be pushing ??

Ive been pushing, as in towards the firewall/windshield ??

imported_99CivicSiR

pushing is counter-clockwise, and pulling is clockwise ....

Gallagher

hehe, we got him all confused

imported_99CivicSiR

yea, stop trying to confuse me ...

imported_t_dot_SiR

i know an affiliate on this board is charging me just $20 if i supply my own stuff =)

but $30, you can't go wrong at honda either =)

i'm using the "Advanced MTF" by honda on my prelude soon... anyone used it yet? i'm going to parkway to pick up some parts so i'm going to see if they got any yet =)
