- Changing the fluid on any manual transmission will be similar to this, any front wheel drive manual will be very similar, and any 90's-00's Honda or Acura will be almost identical to this. This video will walk you through every step on a 1999 Acura Integra GSR transmission fluid change, plus some added tips and pictures of important information from the service manual through out the video.

Lol what a coincidence, learning to change the transmission fluid on the car in this video. Im the one who bought ur integra.
Whaaa?!?! Really??? No way!! Hahahaha that’s so funny. You bought the one in the video right? Trans fluid isn’t that old!!🤣
How’s it running???
@@ImperiumRacing yeah
@@ImperiumRacing smooth, just did an oil change, replaced the clutch master cylinder, and so far nothings been done to the car. Keeping it stock and holding its value.
@@Dc2_seng Nice man! I bought a wrecked Integra after I sold that one and I haven't had time to work on mine yet so every time I look at it I miss having one that looks nice lol. Nice man value will just go up. If you ever decide to sell it down the line let me know!lol Or if you needs parts haha
If you haven't tried Amsoil synthetic manual transmission oil in these, you may be surprised at how much nicer they shift. I just used it in my '05 CR-V with 271k on it, and a 3rd gear that would crunch no matter what, unless a lot of finesse and slow loading was used (I just purchased the car). It's made a noticeable difference in the overall shifting, and 3rd will now drop right in under "normal" around town type of driving. It still takes the finesse under loads, like getting on the freeway, which I'd expect and can live with. The rev-hang of these engines in order to control NOX is very hard on the syncros....magnified 10-fold if the driver is speed shifting like it's a race car.
Ooooo interesting!!! My current Integra has a crunchy/ hard to engage third gear. It might be the perfect test subject for that fluid!! Thank you for the info!
@@ImperiumRacing Let me know what you think. When I first did the oil change 2 weeks ago, there was an immediate overall "better feeling" in how it shifted, and that could even be felt in the gear shift lever. But there was "almost" was no improvement in 3rd gear. I took the car on a road trip, 3-1/2-4hrs each way, all in the same day, 2 days later. When I got back, there was absolutely an improvement in 3rd gear. It's definitely not fixed, but it is sooo much better.
Thanks for putting the fpt on the video too!
Welcome!!!(: but what is fpt…?!😀
@@ImperiumRacing I guess I should have just said torque specs but it means pound-foot of torque. And I got it backwards. Sorry. 🤣
@@sarahbahr1273 OH! haha okay that's what I thought you meant but I wanted to make sure haha. But ya of course! I'm def trying to pack as much info as I can into our DIY videos. Also thanks for watching!
@@ImperiumRacing You are doing an awesome job and us "do it yourselfers" truly appreciate the information to grow confidence, to get in there, get dirty and learn how to fix your things independently!! God bless you, sir! 🤘😇🙌
@@sarahbahr1273 thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻. And Hell ya, that’s all I’m hoping these videos will do so it’s always awesome to hear people liking the videos and info🤘🏻
I see you out of the capacity of a civic and a Integra, I have a civic with a b16 and swapped GSR tran, would the capacity be the 2.2 or the 1.9 oil capacity for that, I would just fill it up until it starts pouring out but I’m just genuinely curious
OH man! sorry for the late reply! I totally thought I replied to this comment before, sorry about that. If your swap has a GSR trans it should be the 2.2 spec. But if your car is at an angle or you let it drain all night like I did, anything like that could affect it by maybe 0.1 or 0.2 over or under. So it's definitely safer to just get 3 bottles before starting.
I have problem while shifting at high rpm which is it cannot go through the selected gear and this happens on all gear starting from 2nd gear to 5th gear.I had to let rpm going down a little bit then I can change the gear but its a bit hard to and had to force to change it.Does my gear oil level is low or my syncros are problems?
How high of an RPM are we talking? Syncros can cause a similar issue, buuut usually it won't be all gears. Syncros will usually fail on the gears that get smashed the most (like 3rd because everyone thinks they're a street racer and slams that son of gun after a 2nd gear pull haha). If it's all gears I would look into the clutch system OR trans fluid. For trans fluid verify you have the correct fluid type, correct fluid level and clean fluid in the trans. While fluid is possible your problem sounds more mechanical. For clutch, maybe it's worn/cheap/incorrect part and at high RPM it isn't doing it's job completely at a higher RPM. Another possibility is if you are at high RPM, are you doing a pull? Sometimes on an older car worn engine mounts or shifter bushings can cause misalignments or cause things to not engage as they should. Example would be if you sit at a stop in neutral and blip the throttle does your shifter or engine move a bunch? Also is your clutch full and bled correctly. Sorry my sleepy brain is rambling, In summary I would check in this order: 1) Clutch fluid level/leaks, 2) clutch engagement (theres a way to measure this if you're fancy), 3) engine mounts/shifter bushings, 4) trans fluid level/condition/type, 5) clutch mechanical parts.
@@ImperiumRacing high rpm about 8000 to 8500.happened while im doing a pull from 1st gear,and sometime if i starting from 2nd gear also same problem happens.Actually.i changed to 6 puck Competition Clutch recently,after that the problem appeared,before that I using stock Type R clutch,no problem happened even if i didnt release a throttle while changing gear.lmao.all bushing of linkage are fine.But let say the clutch is the problem,what should I do?its still a new clutch btw.
@@ImperiumRacing and i have syncro's problem on 4th gear before i changed to new clutch
@@08adrift damn sounds like that clutch is no good. Was that clutch specifically for your engine and trans? Is it rated to 8500 RPM? A lot of Honda stuff is interchangeable and a looooot of companies make cheap crappy parts for Hondas. It’s possible the clutch isn’t rated for that. You can check the clutch specs or even reach out to the company that makes it and ask them about the issue. Either way it sounds like you need a different clutch. I’ve seen people spend lots of money on clutches and have them suck or make the car impossible to drive. My advice is find as many reviews as you can before you buy a clutch. Even then everyone drives a little different so clutch is one of those things might be hard to find the right one. Honestly unless you have a tune and like 300+ HP… OEM or OEM style clutch might be the best option. I’ve done a decent amount of racing on some standard basic Integra clutches haha
Hey I have a 2000 integra ls, I feel like my transmission is going out because when I’m in 5th or even 3rd it just shoots out of gear. Was wondering if you had any suggestions in mind?
It only shoots out of those two gears? Is it all the time or only when you do something like accelerate hard? does it seem like it goes fully into gear when you put it in 5th or 3rd? 3rd is pretty common to have damage on these older Hondas because people shift soooo hard into 3rd trying to drive fast. But 5th is a little more odd. You could drain your trans fluid and see what it looks like, check for metal. You could also take a look at shift linkage and/or trans& engine mounts. Do you have any sort of gigantic shift knob or after market shifter?
6:38 You have a really small diameter hose ... that's what she said.
Please tell me can we use 10w 30 engine oil for gear box?
Sorry for the late reply!! According to after market manuals YES! Honda MTF or SAE 10w-30 can be used in a 1994-2001 Acura Integra manual transmission. Either one is fine. I just like OEM things and the bottles weren't that expensive from the dealer and you only have to buy a couple anyways. Same specs go for a manual trans in a 96'-00' Civic or a 97'-01' manual trans CRV. There is usually a small difference in quality of oil brands though, so be aware of that. If you do decide to get 10w30 then just make sure you get a name brand.
What about for a 1991 acura integra what oil should I use ?

@@Kushalien51_nv looks to be the same specs for 1991! So MTF or 10w 30 for the manual trans. But I would highly recommend going with Honda MTF(Manual Transmission Fluid) for these cars.
@@ImperiumRacing I paid for SAE 5w-30 asmoil for my manual hope it works great
Can I buy your extra strut tower brace
Sure! You want the straight one or bent one?🤣 jkjk I’ll have to look and see what they’re selling for. But I can list it on eBay and give you the link if you’re serious about buying it?
I want to keep it because I’m an Integra hoarder…buuuut I really don’t need it hahah
@@ImperiumRacing yeah man I watched your vid and discovered I should have a strut brace on my 2000 gsr lol. Didn’t even know before. Lmk
@@ninobobino4543 Oh dang!! haha yup the GSR and Type R had them from factory. I just moved so I will try to get mine listed soon, I will let you know when I do.
you're other messages disappeared on me... If you're still wondering on that bolt shoot me a video and I'll see if I can tell you which one it is.
@@ImperiumRacing honestly bro, I’m balls deep now and just deleted out of embarrassment lmao. Jb weld has been applied. Slight drip barely losing fluid. It’s definerly not the drain or fill port 🤷♂️😅
