Always make sure you can loosen the fill plug before draining the fluid. If you had drained the fluid and couldn't get the fill plug loose, you would have been done for.

Dude, thank you for this channel! Inspired me to start working on my FA5!

I changed my 2007 si Transmission Fluid to Redline MTL in 2009, the gears shift easier than any I have ever shifted in my life. And all the shifts stay in gear. No popping out of 3rd anymore.

My 10th gen Si, shifting was not the smoothest, and the transmission was not as smooth as it could be. On first oil change, I also changed out the OEM fluid for Amsoil Synchromesh, and man am I happy! Butter smooth shifting and an overall smooth tranny! 7k miles later and everything is still smooth. I would recommend this for all Si's

I don't do social media sorry but you have to remove plastic piece just middle section around wipers then metal shroud under that it will allow full access to exhaust side of motor. Were your filter is to the left you should see hoses by valve cover that bend and go down the back. Its down by there on top of housing. I used a long extension and two short ones. It has a washer its a 17mm bolt use flashlight first to find. Anymore questions feel free also let me know how it goes. I got pretty much 2quarts out and 2 quarts in.

Always do the fill plug first. Would suck to drain it and then the fill bolt is stuck

I'm having trouble with third gear going in sometimes. I have the ACUITY shifter bushings and shifter base bushings. I put the Hybrid racing selector springs and detent springs in about 2 weeks ago (amazing) I have an OEM shifter. Exedy stage 1 clutch with light weight fly wheel, and a k tuned clutch master cylinder and a napa slave cylinder.(k tune slave lasted 2 years) I hope this synchromesh stuff works. My third gear is really pissing me off! I'm trying to fix everything I can first with out having to switch out the synchro. SMH! LOL

I just did this I n my 08 si sedan. I'm friends with the parts guy at honda dealership asked him about what bolt they remove to service tranny and it's the top 17 mm. it's a 300 dollar job from honda. 11 dollars for fluid rest in labor.

there's actually a better fill port even though its not really a fill port, that will top the transmission all the way up using both bottles. There is a sensor screw into the transmission next to your shift selector that you can remove and fill it through there.

Overfilling is an issue with these transmissions. The theory was that they used that hole at the factory and a lot of people found that it was overfilled from the factory. Using the main fill port is still the best idea.

hi I have a problem in the speed changes but they make it hard to want to make them do you think that changing the gearbox oil will fix that problem

how much fluid did you end up using i used toro RTF in my mugen si and it took a quart n a half from empty

I just rebuilt my z3 transmission for my swap. Im getting mixed messages about how much fluid the z3 transmission takes in general. Or after a rebuild? Is it 2.3? ny solid advice would help thanks in advance.

hey man you do need about 2 qt of fluid (check owner's manual). otherwise, you will cause damage. you probably drained all of the old fluid out. that's not why you were only able to put 1.5. that was because your car wasn't level and all the fluid was collecting on the side of the fill hole, causing the fluid to drip prematurely. i just did this service to my car. please add more fluid!

Good video on where the bolts are. Tip I read is to always loosen the top filler bolt first just in case if you actually can't get it off after you actually drained the old fluid that you aren't screwed. Also I think you should've lowered the car off the jacks because you might've underfilled. plus if you're using different tranny fluids you should do another drain and fill just so you get rid of all the old stuff because you don't want diff fluids with diff additives mixed together for a long period of time (just in case)

@@TheGerbsteve I just find it odd that a reputable company like amsoil , which I use on all my ice engines, recommends atf oil that isnt compatible with my FG2. If you go on their website ,it recommends that atf but if you read the details its says “not to use on limited -slip” like cmon amsoil!

I'm trying to get amsoil but none of the bottles look like the clear one you have? Can I have a link to it?

Bro, believe it or not, i got my two things of amsoil for free from a good buddy of mine, so i couldn't really tell you where to get it from.

Any difference with this oil ?

Honestly, it's pretty comparable to honda mtf... It's all personal preference though. I'm running this because a buddy gave me two quarts, so i said why not

You should use Honda gear oil only.

It should be. When I put it back to ground level, it took a some more.

It looks like it would've been easier to get at that fill bolt from the top and not underneath....

Easier from top if intake is off, but either way works decent

Car supposed to be level during servicing. That's why you only got 1.5 quarts in.

Thought it was, but i had a slight angle... Added more on ground level until it leaked out of the filler

The capacity is 1.6 quarts.

I'm aware that there are forums and that I may be barking up the wrong tree but I can't find an answer for this anywhere.... got a 08 Civic SI with a K20z3 at cruising speeds in almost every single gear with very very slight application of throttle the engine stumbles no cel or anything indicating what it is does anybody else in the 8th gens experience this and if so have you found a solution... I feel like it's in the throttle body, accelerator pedal or something to do with fuel delivery any help suggestions or experiences would be a great help

Patrick Bulinski thanks bro but its not the case here... plugs have only 10k... I'm thinking it has something to do with the accelerator position sensor or the throttle body at this point...

Hey so I wanted to ask a question I recently bought a Civic Si,2007 and I’ve been trying to find with my shifter gets stuck when I’m hitting 5-7000 rpms from 1st to 2nd gear it does it randomly ?i would appreciated if u could help me

@TheGerbsteve

Could be a synchro, could be a CMC or slave, numerous things. I will tell you, i had my shifter pop out of third a few times and hesitate to go into 1st, so i had to make some sort of decision. I will tell you that tranny fluid change, new shifter bushings, hondata, and base bushings helped me out a bit.

I personally went back to Honda oem. Not because the amsoil wasn’t good, but Honda mtf is more available and cheaper. Plus it is designed for Honda’s after all.
