Transmission Fluid Change for my FK8 Civic Type R!

[@AaronBenzMusic]

I’m closing in on 40k miles on my 2020 Si and I was literally logging onto YT to see how to change my trans fluid, you truly have made my day Cam ❤

[@Tool0GT92]

Thankfully its a very easy procedure. I'm doing my Si in a month or so, also going to do the fluid on my Ram 8 speed but that's another story. Do you know if the Si has the same procedure as the Type R?

[@ugurasci4404]

@@Tool0GT92 hey yes it is, both are 10th gen and are very very similar

[@TacticalToolbox]

If you have a 2nd gear grind or 3rd gear lockout.....You'll definitely notice a difference

[@ambush1719]

I love these types of videos, keep up the great work!😊

[@dustindenemark3326]

Just got some as well my cars in storage for the winter gonna do this as soon as I get it out when it warms up

[@LoveLikeaHurricane]

not sure what you are talking about, but the recall from Harbor Freight as far as I'm aware are for Jackstands and not Floor Jacks. Also, might not matter much, but probably better to put the leveler gauge on the Transmission itself. Replace all washers Drain bolt washer = 94109-20000 (32 ft lb) Fill plug washer = 94109-20000 (32 ft lb) Check bolt washer= 90442-R7G-000 (9ft lb)

[@Biwieee]

Ironically I'm preparing to do the same thing. I'll watch you first before I take apart mine haha

[@LuisLop98]

I changed the factory fluid to amsoil in my 19 SI and noticed a big difference

[@Joseb1998]

Yep AMSOIL makes a hugeeeee difference. It works excellent in cold and warm weather. My 2nd gear grind disappeared with AMSOIL.

[@Johnsmlj]

Used this in my Acura TL when I had it ! 10/10 fluid made the shifting so much better

[@ulmar08]

Loving the frequent uploads Cam!

[@GokuInstinct1]

Why not use the best? Amsoil Synchromesh Manual transmission fluid.

[@ChrisHondaProductions]

You check out torque tool box he had a fix down by the clutch pedal not sure if are aware but there is a plunger type thing by the clutch that he adjusted which fully engages the clutch when you step on it that fixed the grinding issue

[@Vintage_86]

When I had my DC5, I did this fluid swap to solve my 3rd gear “pop out”. Not only did it solve it, but it made the tranny so buttery and satisfying to shift. So sad it was totaled 2 years later. Best mod for $50.

[@Camhill182]

Sorry to hear it got totaled. What happened?

[@Vintage_86]

@@Camhill182 I got rear ended by a truck and it bent the chassis inward. That’s always a totaled from the insurance standpoint. I wanted to fix it, but it would have had a salvage title forever, so I got the insurance money and got a GR86.

[@Boostd4]

Getting ready to do this myself, great timing!

[@MrJjburgess11]

I plan on doing mine next month. Car will be exactly 2 years old with 13k miles . I get the 4th gear lock out at times when down shifting at high speeds. Hopefully the new fluid gets rid of that .

[@AboveShane]

Worth it I just did this video on my new channel ( FK8 shane ). Definitely makes the driving way more relaxing.

[@Tyemanpoopoop]

Bruh same. I changed the trans fluid on my 10th gen SI and was lowkey terrified. 😅 can’t wait for the next video though. ❤

[@Camhill182]

Thanks!

[@housbinpharteen7445]

#44 like .. the ACdelco 75w-80 is great for the Torque Converter but if you go to say 75w-70 it helps the impeller so it spins faster and helps the Planetary Gears and it wont ware out the Torque converter clutch as easy as it did with the honda SI clutch plates...

[@dizzyMD]

im here for the consistent uploads🙌

[@stevenl9168]

Instructive video Cam! Keep up the good work 🙌

[@BigBear--]

The AC Delco is what GM Synchromesh was. Just under the AC Delco brand name. I know people like it, not sure if its better than Amsoil Synchromesh, or Redline MTL.

[@BigBear--]

I also don't like that the GM Synchromesh (Ac Delco) is semi-synthetic, and not a full-synthetic.

[@jarda19651]

Hi, please, where did you buy the front seat covers for your black beauty FK8? Thanks, Jaromír, Czech Republic.🙂

[@Stoptechaccord]

Usually after 100 miles u would feel a difference if u had any issues with the oem fluid

[@DuckMcDuckinson]

Try AMSOIL manual transmission synchromesh fluid. It’s way better than AC Delco

[@walahmelons5504]

Let me preface this by saying I thought all the other fluids people used besides OEM wouldn't really make much of a difference. Well I decided to try Amsoil out of wanting to try something new for fun. I changed mine from OEM to Amsoil and I felt a HUGE difference right away. It is so much smoother with the synchromesh compared to the OEM fluid. And the OEM fluid I drained only had 10k miles on it. I haven't even tracked my car just normal daily driving and rowing through the gears feel like a hot knife going through butter.

Bro my wife thought I was crazy when I laughed at that napkin flying, priceless

[@FastlaneHero]

Glade you got the trans flush done!

[@thinkforyourself5672]

Definitely the smoothest feeling fluid I've tried on the R so far but I definitely don't get longevity out of it. After a year or so I can feel it start to get a little less smooth. Maybe it's just me but that's my experience

[@StonyPointRd]

Wow pretty sick! I'm used to having to use those pumps to fill the trans fluid.

[@dustindenemark3326]

Im changing mine today after work again I couldnt remember what tools I might need to bring did you actually torque the plugs back to 32ft. Lbs.? Or just make sure its hand tight?

[@xom3lw33zyxo13]

Why didn't you change the filter?

[@xom3lw33zyxo13]

Just wondering why. I have a 2017 civic touring with a cvt. I change the trans fluid every 30k with the top filter. The fluid, top filter and pan filter every 60k. I also use amsoil cvt fluid.

[@atikovi1]

Maybe because this is a manual transmission. Duh!

[@TBVnBIX]

How often you are supposed to change trans fluid ? My Si Coupe is currently at 17,5k miles and i'm wondering

[@edwardinvegas]

I have never done Transmission Fluid but I can tell you that the oil is even easier...I got to the point where I don't trust Honda dealerships or oil change shops. I guarantee they aren't paying a "master tech" to do oil, but someone that doesn't care about your car more than you do...I know when I do it myself in 07' Si and 14' CR-V it's done right. I take my time and do it early AM on the weekend so I can do it with a clear mind.

Even if it feels the same it’s good to change the fluid when needed otherwise you get gear slip if you wait too long and changing it wouldn’t even be worth it.

I bought some wire cup brushes from there and I had not problem.

I don't expect you to feel a difference. That's more of a maintenance thing. Just to keep it going and extend it's life. I dunno how u have jitters for an oil change after u upgraded a whole suspension lol

Any future upgrades either performance wise or cosmetic coming to the type r?

[@Roobsrandomz]

BIG note too, remember never to quick shift any performance car until you've completed a 10min warm up drive*. Seriously, every platform ever is like this. Warm up your car, and quick shift after as a general rule. (Metal physics, heat, pressure performance are what engineers consider and design modern engines based on) Other variables too obviously! Cheers man

Ill say it again; she so pretty 😍

[@atikovi1]

You have car ramps. Why on earth would you jack up your car and then put the ramps under the tires instead of just driving up onto them? Not sure about the choice of fluid. At least if you were still under warranty you should be using the OEM Honda fluid. If not, Redline MTL is often spec'd for this transmission.

[@SkateAndReview]

But my Ford manual tells me it’s lifetime fluid 😂
