I changed mine a couple weeks ago. I used the performance tool brand pump from O'Reilly's, it screwed right on the large top Honda bottles. (The ones in the video). I drove on the highway for while to heat it up and when I opened the fill plug it was leaking out (it looked overfilled, it wasn't it was hot and expanded). I added about 1.4 to 1.5 quarts, to fill it, probably because the gearbox was hot and it expanded. I probably need to top it off cold. My fluid was pretty dirty, the gearbox is much quieter. I bought the car used and have getting around to various items. The video was helpful, thanks for posting it. David
That sump plug washer is the reusable type, you can tell by the thickness and the fact the reusable ones don't really come off easily, I reckon this dude has been lucky each time cos a proper crush washer will definitely leak if not replaced, he didn't know a trim bolt with a screw head on it needed screwing out tho so it doesn't suprise me he has gaps, fit a new washer when it needs it a box of different sizes is a few quid it's no drama.....
Thank you so much for creating this guide! I followed your instructions step-by-step, and now my manual Fit shifts so smoothly. You've saved me so much time and frustration. Keep up the great work!
Anyone in the UK don't buy one of those pumps, unfortunately we use a different thread system in the UK, best bet here is either a extended bendy long neck filler funnel or a squeeze bottle with some sort of line attached!.....👍👌👍
The fastener you pryed off is screwed on with a phillips screw. Just unscrew it and will come right off with no effort (and much less time). I think the dorman part number is 963-111d, but they are often in the back, they don't sell enough to be in the display. They help with splashes and airflow. Nearly everyone owns a fit for the gas mileage so it's good to have them. David
I was looking at some of the other fasteners on the splash guard. They look like the push plunger type, usually you pry out the circle rivet in the middle with a fastener pry bar. You put them back in place and push the rivet back in to seat them back in place.
You would never use motor oil in a gesrbox, Engine oils are subject to high running temperatures while Gear oils are subject to high-pressure movements, thats what makes gear oil smell bad
I think that MTF-3 (Manual Transmission Oil) should be used. In case MTF-3 specifically is not available, you can use any oil that is specific for manual transmissions. If that is not available, the owner's manual says that you can use 10W-30 or 10W-40 oil.

Glad to hear it, David. Thanks for the kind comment!
I love your authenticity! I watch so many of these videos and think, wow, nothing will go wrong but it's cool to see you power through the challenges.
Thanks James. :-) I like everyone to see what could possibly go wrong--- especially when experimenting.
I fully agree with your comment on the crush washer....I also have never changed any washer in my life...and never had any problems thereafter :-O
*Spent 15$ finding the proper washer for the gearbox filling plug*
😭😭😭

Very useful sir. Your surroundings are awesome.
That drain oil looked pretty clean. If you don't know how old it is, better to change it.
previously i could not locate the nuts , i found this the most accurate, topographically

Thanks for the input!
Well, Dave, your "shadetree" mechanics look a lot like mine. But, you got the job done and the Lord gave and forgave, and blessed and kept you.
Amen!
Thanks for making this video and sharing it with us. 😀👍

If they have a have Phillips or flat try a screwdriver first.
The wood should remain flat on the surface , use 2 to 3 to make a ramp of wood up to the metal ramp , there should be no daylight under the wood
would you say there was any improvement in the shifting/ trans response after the oil change?
Good question, Jack. I didn't notice any difference. Seems to shift the same to me.
Awesome thanks great video gonna do mine like this very soon
Thanks for watching, Kevin!
Very informative video thank you
This is very dangerous since the ramps could slide.
Thank you for that I appreciate it. I love my Honda fit I'm moving to Mexico and have to sell it it has 163,000 mi on it..
All the best on your new adventure!
Why is your hat on backwards…a aerodynamic thing ?
To keep my bald head from glaring at the camera, and yet still allow me to see upward.
You would never use motor oil in a gesrbox, Engine oils are subject to high running temperatures while Gear oils are subject to high-pressure movements, thats what makes gear oil smell bad
Is your fit a 5 or 6 speed gearbox? Cheers
Please anyone can help what type oil nneds for an ishift model 2010 Honda Jazz

Wich model of honda ? Y have 1.2 ivtec 2008? Is the same ???

Precisamente ayer cambié el eceite de mi transmisión manual de honda fit 2007 y el eceite estaba color cocacola 😅
😮
thank you !!
Thank YOU for watching!
Should the vehicle not be level ?
As level as possible.
hey dave. is your fit shudders when on first gear especially when accelerating?
Yes it does a little, Danial.
That's trans mount/engine mount. Mine does that. It's getting worse now that I'm at 255k miles.
@Jay Yoyo No
Should of jacked it up and then put the ramps underneath of the wheels my man.
Thanks for the suggestion!
How much liter do you put inside?
Depends on year, but about 3.2 pints.
this video definitely didn't need to be 20 minutes long
