Changing or topping up MT fluid for eg

[Terryfying]

HI there, just wondering where do u top up manual transmission fluid for eg hatch??

look under the car like your gonna change engine oil. then look at your gear box side on from driver side. the will be 2 bolts that protrude out more than the other. the top one is your filler bolt, bottom is the exit bolt. you need to have the car on level ground when filling GB with new oil, other wise you will get wrong amount of oil needed

ah ok lol how do u know when youve filled enough

[riruiz_88]

because it will overfill out from the hole, make sure you use new washers too.

You should just do a full change of the fluid if you havn't done it for a while.

The drain bolt is round with a square in the middle, which is 3/8 drive. The filler bolt is to the left of the drive shaft.
After draining the fluid, screw the drain bolt back in and then start filling the transmission until the fluid starts to come out of the filler hole. Best to change the washers on both bolts and don't overtighten them.

The other way to fill it up is from the speed sensor because its easier to get to. Take out the speed sensor and pour fluid in from there until it comes out the filler hole.

just done mine, already notice smoother more easyer shifts.. Use the OEM Honda MT oil, by far the best
