when you say “jack from the center”, where did you jack from?
my tl has been running honda’s MTF its whole life, going to try the GM FM
and see if itll crisp the shifts and eliminate that known 3rd gear synchro
grind so many owner has experienced. hoping for a nice out come and thanks
for the vid Austin *cheers*
3 quarts just in case you need more
How many quarts fit in the 04 v6 manual case. Please I need answer fast.
Thanks
Oops wrong video HaHa!
Sounds like the crankshaft bearings needs to be replaced.
How many quarts of the GM transmission fluid did you put in or buy? Thanks
Does anyone know if this actually fixed the problem??
Is this the same procedure for honda accord 2009 V6 auto trans. ?
I’ve never used Royal Purple. My neighbor across the street really likes
it. Thanks for watching.
@ManClubAustin M1 = M2 x L1 / L2 Where: M1 is the torque setting of the
wrench. M2 is the actual torque applied to the nut L1 is the normal length
of the wrench L2 is the extended length of the wrench do the math and see
if you’re too high or too low. I’m a jet mechanic so our torque values have
to be exactly what our technical order says. this is the calculation we use
every day. I know it’s just a filler cap, but i’m OCD like a fat kid with
the right amount of fudge topping.
So now issues with the GM stuff
is the fill bolt just removed to see if your “overfilled” so once i fill up
what i think is correct. i take off fillbolt and let the excess come out.?
right? ur videos helped me SO MUCH i really appricate you posting it
where can i buy that GM Synchromesh?
Yes, it helped. I’m happy with the results.
hey i did a j32a swap on my civic (ya my civic now has a 3.2 6speed in it)
but now it pops out of third gear when i shift, only pops out of third any
advice before i blow more cash on actual synchros.
@littlebabyjoejoe Say “I suck” then hit yourself in the face for spamming.
@lightningsmokerXx My Honda was manufactured in Marysville, Ohio. The
J-series engine was designed in the United States by Honda engineers. It is
built at Honda’s Anna, Ohio engine plant. Home team, in a sense. After all,
it’s a global economy.
@PJON214 Yeah, the fluid flush is only for the Auto tranny. Manny-tranny is
so much simpler. I’m glad you did it yourself and saved $65 while earning
experience and confidence by doing it yourself!
@DtoWnSux1 Yep, that’s it. You just fill it up until fluid comes out of the
fill bolt. Then tighen everything back up. It’s about as easy as changing
oil.
@Thamac15 Using extensions doesn’t effect the torque to a fastener too much
with a manual torque wrench, as long as things are kept straight inline to
the fastener and not angled one way or another. I think it is fine for the
filler cap. If I were to extend the length of the torque wrench (by putting
a wrench on the end of it) then the calculations would be off.
Yeah, it’s much better going into 3rd gear. It used to really suck in the
cold weather with the Honda fluid.
I’d get 4 quarts, just to be safe.
I’m assuming you did the necessary calculation to adjust the torque value
since you had a large extension distance. MOST mechanics never do this
because they have no clue about it. Torque value goes up a lot depending on
the extension distance.
so did it work? its all fine and dandy but did it work or not
@PJON214 It should be very similar, if not exactly the same. I don’t think
that Honda/Acura has made too many changes to their 6 speed manual
transmission.
American made funnel at Walmart? hahahaha! good one,…
I was serious! It’s a Flotool by Hopkins Manufacturing Company. Made in the
heartland: Kansas.
Nice Accord, man. I’m thinking of trading up my 09 si for the new accord
6speed coupe.
Nope. I’ve changed it a second time, this time using Amsoil. No issues
there, either.
What’s the amsoil tranny fluid for the accord gear box
Did it help?
@anh721 It should be very similar. I believe the 5 speed would use a little
less fluid.
@ManClubAustin thanks man ill let you know how it goes. i should be doing
it tomorrow. 🙂
Their synthetic syncromesh fluid. Search their site for “Synthetic Manual
Synchromesh Transmission Fluid”
Actually, if you are close enough to a dealership, that may be the way to
go. I got 3 bottles for right about $45 (including tax,) and I didn’t have
to wait for shipping. By the way, thanks for posting these videos. Knowing
which end of a hammer to hold is good, but knowing where to hit the thing
is gold.
I have an 09 accord coupe v6. Before I changed my transmission fluid from
honda to gm my 3rd gear would randomly pop out and sometimes not engage at
all. After i changed fluids, it feels like i am driving a race car.
perfect, buttery shifts all day long!
No, you’ll want to follow my “Honda Automatic Transmission Flush”
video….It shows the process on the Honda Element, but the Accord will be
the same.
UPDATE FOR YOU: Part #12377916 has been updated/changed from a GM product
to an AC Delco product, part #88900399. I believe it is the same oil, just
a different bottle and part number.
I’ve got to hand it to you man. This may as well be rocket science to me.
I’m sure it’s not, but looks intimidating.
@khova57 I bought 3…used approximately 2 1/4
Thanks for the walk through man, beautiful car. I’ve got a 06 Accord sedan
6sp manual. Do you know if it’s the same setup? Also, the local dealership
(which is known for being trustworthy) said that these trannys don’t like
to be flushed, any issues since you did it? How many miles has it been?
Thanks again.
Ok I’ll ask the question, Did it fix the issue? I have the same exact
problem. It feels like it’s not going in all the way. I drive a 90 camry 5
speed. So did it work for you?
The GM Synchomesh fluid has been around for more than a decade and its
formulation hasn’t been updated ever since. While it has cured your
shifting problem, I am worried that it may not be able to protect the
shockloads on the differential generated by your powerful V6.
@vietkid20062007 It’s from a Honda Crosstour. I painted it.
