1996-2000 Honda Civic HX Manual Transmission drain and refill 

Never start with the drain bolt. Because what if u drain it anf then cant get the fill bolt out to refill. Just some advice.

ATG suggests to do the following: A. Make sure car is at ground level (parallel) B. Then drive front up to ramps. If you got no ramp, drive half to curb so you get under to remove bolts C. Have something to catch the transmission fluid. Wear gloves & protective eyewear for eyes D. Have six points 17MM wrench or socket (under car, left side 17MM Bolt is on very tight) turn CCW. Fill Bolt E. DO NOT proceed if your can not take out the 17MM Bolt F. There should little Manual Transmission Fluid coming out of 17mm's Hole when removing Bolt G. Insert a 3/8" (3/8 inch Ratchet) into the 3/8" (Square Hole Like, at bottom 6 O'clock) turn CCW H. Fill Bolt (17mm Bolt) and 3/8" Drain Bolt should only be loosen for the moment I. Put car in "N", and push off ramp to ground level. Two people working are better, one in car & other push J. Turn Counter Clockwise (CCW) on the 3/8" fully to take out bolt, prepare for fluid pouring out. Cleans Bolt K. Take out the 17MM Bolt. Fluid will drain much faster now. Cleans Bolt L. Let it drip all out M. Take out Washer & flip 180 degrees and put back onto 3/8". Tighten 3/8" down with Washer N. Two bottles of Honda Manual Transmission Fluid # 08798-9031 O. Open one bottle. Now drill a hole onto the cap. Get a Clear Rubber Flexible Hose (smaller than the fill hole) Place Hose into hole of Cap. Insert hose to 12mm & seal it with Silicone (on the outside) Put back Cap onto bottle You now just made an ATG's world best funnel P. Insert the ATG's into the Fill Hole and squeeze the bottle Q. You should have no problem using all from the 1st bottle. Pop a hole on bottle to empty faster R. Remove Cap from #2 and placed ATG's onto #2 S. Squeeze and repeat until you see Manual Transmission Fluid spilling out of 17MM Fill Port T. Remove ATG's and clean. Install back the 17MM Bolt Start car but to not run car. In Park, Shift into all Gears within 1.11 minute apart. Now, pat yourself on the back that ATG and I have helped you. Leave your email here if you needs more tips /or suggestions.

its easier to fill it up from the speed sensor one nut and done and the funnel will fit right in there

you got that 5th gear synchro vid anywhere? my CRV is grinding haaaaaard.

I love those HX rims! :)

Would this be the same for a 99 Ex ?

We have the same car. Mine is '97 Civic DX. Did you use your cellphone to video this? I wonder how you were able to catch the filler bolt.

You could simply fill it from the top of the transmission through the reverse sensor. Way easier that way.

got a 99 civic ex, 5 speed manual that wasn't in use for a few years and just sat outside. Changed the oil on it and also bought transmission fluid but didn't notice the one I bought was ATF. Which MTF fluids would you recommend I get. I'm a novice when it comes to this stuff, especially for manual cars

Hi, I have a 1999 Honda Civic and was looking forward to replace the transmission fluid. Should I change the filter as well ? Would that be a good idea ?

Hey, I have a 1995 Honda Civic and was looking to change the transmission fluid. I could not find the atf-z1 and seen that the atf-dw1 has replaced it. Is it safe for me to use the atf-dw1 for my 1995, even if the bottle says for newer Honda vehicles?

Can you also fill the gearbox through the breather vent? I believe my car has one.

Great vid .ez to follow

I have a 2000 civic and I'm having a tough time getting to the oil filter off to replace it. I can get my hand on it but its on too tight to loosen. I can't get a filter ban tool up there ...... What do you recommend?

I have a Civic the same yours.. Can you tell me how much oil does the transmission require?

Good video, good job, thanks

BUENAS TARDES AMIGO, CUANTOS LITROS DE ACEITE LLEVA LA TRANSMISION MANUAL DEL HONDA CIVIC?????

Hi how many qt will need to fill?

I also have a 97 Honda Civic and if I were to change the transmission fluid would I have to change the filter or does this car have a filter?

Great video, thanks. What's the OD of the tube that fits into the transmission fill hole?

So after i take out the transmission fluid how much do i put back in ?

Thanks for this video. I bought my 96 Civic Ex last year with 126k and it now has 140k. I would say the last 6 months I've been hear a friction sound in the lower gears (1,2,3) and now in 4th. The thing is it seems to go away when I push it to the higher RPMs, like above 3500. My mechanic doesn't service transmissions but change the fluid saying that it had gear oil in it instead of Honda MT fluid, which he replaced it with. Now first is a little more Smooth but the problem did not go away. He said maybe change the fluid again to see it it helps but it might be a servo? Any thoughts?

i remember doing a transmission flush and having to change a filter is not for all vehicles?

I have a 2000 Civic HX and it grinds when I shift into reverse. Would changing the fluid help this you think?

My hx is grinding 2nd gear when high rpms when taking off rest don't grind.

Here in Greece Europe my mechanic charged me 5 euro to change the MTF ( i bring him the Honda MTF ) and with the about 0.50 new washers he probably charged me 4.50 euro . Totally profesional job , automotive lift, oil pump to fill it , torque the screws . I am curious how much they charge there ? Does it worth doing it your self ?

hi, please show me to how to replace pcv valve in 1999 civic.thank you

I have the same problem where 1st gear is rough and grinds a little when putting in reverse but it all works after a pump the clutch a couple times. What could be the problem?

hello i think my car is leaking transmission fluid how do i add oil through where?

I have 96 civic manual. when I come to a stop and shift to 1st gear ,I have to really push it to get there. is it because my initial speed too fast for 1st gear? or my transmission oil is old?

Subtitulos, please

What weight fluid did you use? MT-90? 75W90?

how many liters does it carry?

Does it have a filter inside for a 2000?

How many liters?

Pretty easy question to answer myself but here I go anyway; How often do you want to do this?

ANYONE AND EVERYONE- DO YOU NOTICE A DIFFERENCE IN SHIFTING....ANY SINGLE PERSON CAN ANSWER WHEN EVER YOU ARE READY.............................

Did changing the fluid help with 1st gear being hard to engage?

Yikes, use some jack stands, bro.
