went to honda today and bought 2 quarts of manual tranny fluid. changed the fluid which calls for 1.9 quarts. poured it in till it started pouring out a little. my question is when i stuck my finger in the filler hole i couldnt feel any fluid, does this mean it needed more? i only bought 2 quarts so i didnt have anymore to add, should i have felt it at the filler hole end?

 

Yeah when you stick your finger in you are normally suppose to feel teh wetness! But seriously, you are suppose to feel it.

 

i couldnt feel any like where the threads were, i stuck a screwdriver in and there seemed to be about an inch in before the fluid left a mark on it, do it need more? i mean i did add the required amount.

 

Well since you did add what the manufacturers recommend, I would assume you should be ok. Its just a rule of thumb I use. Maybe just keep an eye on it.

 

+1, did you buy the pump that has the curved metal piece to fit in the hole?

 

no i just used a funnel and a long hose. i kept adding till it started to pour out a bit which was my full 2 quarts, but after that it just wasnt that noticable from the filler hole. should i be ok?

 

you'll be fine.

 

if worried about it just add alittle more... if it sjust alittle short i dont see it being a problem....

but if ya got some free time..... why not add the fluid to top it off...

 

because i'd have to buy another quart from honda to use prob like 1/4 of it or less heh.

 

well... the fluids not that much.......... and youd have extra
