Honda transmission fluid change civic1/23/2024 ![]() ![]() I had to go to the local Honda dealership 3 times for the correct washers. This also shows a diagram of the transmission and helps with where you should be looking. Here is a link to the crush washer replacement. Right next to that 5th bolt is a much smaller, 10 MM bolt head. There is a little nub of metal there as you round the corner and come to the 5th bolt. Going forward, you should see 3 bolts in a straight line, right before the 4th bolt, there on the corner. These bolts form a line at the bottom of the transmission going from front to back on the car. 6 mm crush washer 9lb/ft Level check bolt Location: While under the car and looking at the transmission drain bolt, start counting the horizontal bolts holding the two sides of the transmission case together. This allows the correct amount (1.9 qt) to stay in place during filling-car must be level or darn near. ![]() Level check bolt: Allows excess fluid to drain out of the transmission. 32lb/ft -Says to use liquid gasket to threads, I did not and no leaks yet. No need to remove the air box, fill hole can be reached with a ratchet extension and a long funnel. It has the same square socket but no crush washer. Round bolt with square socket and a 20 mm crush washer. The car requires 1.9 Quarts of Genuine Honda MTF and I doubt the jump to 2.0 would do any harm but my notes on the subject are below:ĭrain bolt is easy to find. Is it necessary to use the level check hole for the process? Probably not. The level check bolt was missing from the other write-ups on CivicX. The drain and fill bolts are easy enough to find. I wanted to change both the differential fluid and MTF and it was only after researching the car did I discover they are one in the same. By changing the manual transmission fluid, you are also servicing the differential. The differential is built into the transmission and they share the same fluid and sump. The Si has a Helical Limited Slip Differential that is gear based and does not require special friction modifiers or additives. It is common for LSDs to require an additive packet for their gear oil. The 2017 Si has a limited slip differential. This is not a step by step guide by any means. There are a few helpful posts on the subject but I found them lacking some details. I want to share a few things I discovered while preparing for the job. I'll list a few reasons why I did this but this post isn't meant to kick the dead horse on the subject. Like with the engine oil, I chose to change it earlier than what is recommended by Honda. I recently changed my manual transmission fluid on the 2017 Si. I learned a lot from this community and wanted to do my part to contribute. ![]()
