2017+ Civic Type R - Service - How to Change Transmission Fluid (Complete Guide!)

- Swapping out the transmission fluid to see if it resolves some of the notchiness and improves the feel. Hopefully, this will also eliminate the occasional 4th gear lockout.
Initial impressions: smoothed/dulled feel when entering a gate. Seems less "crunchy" when cold. Didn't "speed up" the transmission. 1st to 2nd shift is still slow requiring a brief pause in neutral.
note: The ramps are too steep to drive up onto.
Used in this video:
1. Precision Instruments Torque Wrench: amzn.to/3fLaGBg
2. Tekton Torque Wrench: amzn.to/3wwC5g0
3. AC Delco (GM) Synchromesh Friction Modified Fluid: amzn.to/3d52CJM
8/20/21 update: no more 4th gear lockouts! some of the "feel" has returned and doesn't feel as dulled. no grinding.

Exactly what i needed. Straight to the “action”. No nonsense talking bs like all other youtubers do. Nobody wants to listen to that crap.
Thank you for this video! I'm about to change the transmission fluid on my 2017 Type R and this is Godsend!
Nice and short to the point. Well done. Thank you. My is starting to feel a little hard to shift into gears now at 20k miles so I am looking ahead. Thanks again.
@NINJA THEORY mine is at 30k miles and feels hard too! Will bleeding clutch help?
Bro great work and thank you for the video and links 🙌
WAO thank a for making this vid I honestly appreciate it!!
Nice simple video and very helpful. Thanks for posting
Thank you. Going to try new trans fluid for 3rd gear grind.
Nice tutorial, its great theres no unnecessary talking. Cute doggo too 👍
Perfect love this video easy and to the point
I love your dog assistant.
Great video, very clear
Very Informative. Thank you EZ
Thanks for this, hard to find videos for 6MT 2.0 Accords.
I had a white 6spd 2.0, such a fun car!
Do you know the part number for the check hole bolt and the washer as well for the check hole?
Thank for share your video, I like a lot. But i didn't see you change the filter fluid.
Thanks! As far as I'm aware there is no oil filter for the transmission.
How many bottles should I order for the whole transmission change ?
Thanks again great video my friend
3 quarts should be what you need for the type r's transmission. You're welcome!
Question brother….How much mm is the gear oil check bolt ? ( at 5:43 which you removed after levelling the gear box)………I am asking to figure out if I can use thin transparent tube and a syringe pump …through that tiny gear oil check bolt hole to refill fresh gear oil ….instead of removing air filter box and filler plug underneath air filter box…..please suggest how much thin tube should be appropriate !!?🙏🏼
Thanks for the video. What brand torque wrenches do you use?
For higher torque I have a precision instruments wrench which was at one point making wrenches for snap on. The small torque wrench is just tekton from Amazon. I also have craftsman beam type wrenches.
edit: I've updated the description with some links.
How long the acdelco fluid will last? Probably 1w miles?
I didn’t know the type R had a rear jacking point
Strange jackpoint in the rear near the exhaust
Which transmission oil are you using and how it feels now when shifting?
Hey, I'm using gm synchromesh friction modified. I have a link in the description if you're interested! Feels smoother shifting for sure!
@@ez12a definitely better than the Amsoil Syncromesh?
Nice. how many files did you have on this transmission fluid?
32k miles on the original Honda fluid. Didnt have too many problems with full on grinds, just some roughness when cold and occasional hangups getting into 4th.
@@ez12a how's the transmission feel now?
@@pianodemon109 shifts smoother than the OEM fluid for sure. Less crunchy feeling when cold especially.
@@ez12a I'm going to replace the mtf with the Ac delco FM tomorrow but idk why, I'm a little nervous. Lol. Hope it helps with my shifter feel.
@@pianodemon109 Hey did you end up putting the acdelco in? How'd it go?
sucks that all the honda MTs are clunky, notches messes.
would you recommend using fumoto for trans overflow?
I personally don't think so, trans fluid isn't something that I change frequently.
After this and driven the car, do we need to refill or recheck the gear oil?
No you don't have to recheck
Nice video 🎉 why you use a oil that does not meet Honda requirements ? Does not have the viscosity required for Honda Manual transmission, for that reason most of people thing is better but it is not. Try amsoil or other better oil and you see the improvement and last much more than ad delco . 🎉
Thanks, AC Delco is of the same viscosity.
Is there any reason you couldn’t just refill by pumping up through the check port until it comes out? It would save having to remove the air box.
Doable but the check port is very small. You may also need to contend with air pressure build up when pumping fluid back in if you use a threaded fitting on a hose, not sure if there's a relief valve somewhere.
I was thinking the same way. Do everything from the bottom,similar to how most hondas do trans drain and refills. I have the fluid pump already too
Is Acdelco the best or is it Amsoil?
Really up to you! I haven't tried amsoil myself but the acdelco has been working great
I swear I read in a manual somewhere that you're supposed to replace that check level bolt and not just reinstall it?
Per the service manual there's a washer you can replace. Bolt doesn't need to be replaced. Very low torque needed to tighten, so it wouldn't be an issue to reuse anyway.
How do you know that’s the check port ? I haven’t seen anyone else do this.
It's in the service manual, anyone that doesn't do this is risking overfilling the transmission
@@ez12a interesting, but from my understanding when you remove all the “excessive fluid” from that check port the transmission will only hold 1.9 qt. So wouldn’t that be bad ? Given that it’s meant for 2.3Qt
@@Fk8.Hector not sure where you're getting 1.9 qt. The service manual is clear on this: imgur.com/a/5Y6jQ2x
@@ez12a good to know ! I got that from flying gatos video, seems I was misinformed. Thank you for confirming! Will be doing mine soon
Np! There are a lot of videos out there that don't follow the service manual. I do my best to follow it in my own guides. Thanks for the view!
First time that I see a filler hole and a separate oil-level-check hole. Wouldn't you just be able to fill it trough the check oil like in any other car?
Also it might be best to loosen the check hole first, so you're sure you'll be able to fill correctly before draining the old oil out. In worst case you can still put it back together and drive to a shop. :D
I also think it would make sense to fill from check hole - but the only thing is that you'd need to have something to pump the fluid from the bottle to the check hole. So I guess the fill hole is easier to fill from for the DIYer.
@Stories of a Mechanic yeah I used to do it with a funnel and a hose attached to it. Just route it from the top trough the check hole and you can pour it in. Now I have a manual hand pump that cost me like 20 euros which allows you to do it from the bottom (yet I still prefer to do it from the top as it's easier still).
I was just wondering as I never knew there was a filler hole. I always thought the check hole was the filler hole. 🤣
@@carolusdero6663 ahhaha awesome. Good going 👍👍
You sure that the right oil for the transmission?
GM FM fluid has been used in Honda transmissions for over a decade, but you are welcome to use your transmission fluid of choice
Doggo
How many quarts were used ?
2.3 qt
And gearbox magnet cleaning????
Not really needed but you are welcome to use one
how many liter gear oil
3 us qt = 2.84 L
Why not drive up those ramps??
Reason is in the description
Dude bought the cheapest fluid he could find lol lame
Clearly you don't have a clue what gm fm fluid does in a Honda MT. It's also more than twice the price of OEM, only 2 less than Amsoil lol
