I just got an 85 sei with 156k and it drives great. $500. This is a good reference before I crawl under there. Thanks. I saw an 87 lxi in the yard and the whole thing was gone in 3 days. Not much love for the 2geez.

I really enjoyed this video and the video when you bought the car. I love older Hondas. They are built to last 👍😎

@@petescarport the SE-i has the disc brakes and the fancy stereo system if you can find one. sometimes they had this bronze polarized sunroof as well. we beat on ours and they laughed at it. the ones we had in our family were strong running.

Someone may have used non-Honda power steering fluid! Never do that!

Have to wait till I close on a house before investing into my other projects. Should be soon but goal is to finish up the widebody and re do the entire interior.

Non-Honda auto trans fluid! Don't do it! BTW, you need to drain drive and fill that trans like six times to get all the fluid out of the converter etc.
@petescarport Жыл бұрын
Thanks for input. I will definitely drain it a few times. I’m also going to be changing it every 6k miles. The fluid looked really good so I believe the last owner was already changing it and the car only had 38,000 miles so I think I’m gonna be good as long as I keep up the maintenance from this point on.

@@petescarport Well, that trans fluid is probably 30 + years old. It did not look that great to me. My auto trans experience is with a 2005 Accord. I do twelve quarts every 30,000 or 50,000 max. Over 200,000 on that one now. Drain the three, add, drive a bit through all gears, then do it again until the twelve quarts are gone. The Honda auto fluid is backwards compatible. Honda's are very pick about PS, trans, and or diff. fluids. They are unlike any others. Adding even PS fluid that says good for Honda Toyota etc. will be the death of the PS pump, and rack seals.

My 7th gen Civic's original transmission went 243K hard miles using Valvoline Import or Maxlife fluid since the first service and those transmissions are well known for being junk, so I'd say that's pretty decent. Would it have lasted longer on some other fluid? We will never know, but as bad as crappy as those transmissions are, it certainly didn't fail prematurely. Also, as the manual says at 8:55, those literally call for Dexron fluid, so I wouldn't be too worried.

Thanks. First thing I did. It broke off but finally got new one in and all no oil loss at all now and zero smoke. Thanks for heads up. I had made a seperate video but lost the footage because of it breaking off and having to do a lot more work than I originally thought.

Never ever ever use non Honda official trans fluid. Only get it from the dealership. Or suffer from hard shifts forever. Honda's are very picky and no company has the exact formulation Honda themselves use.
