You should have jacked the car up on the other side so gravity would help drain as much fluid as possible.

Jetta is right, be sure to jack up the car on the other side to get that last 1/8 of a quart of fluid out...lol

How often should I change the fluid? I just bought an 02 TL (154,000 miles) and the fluid is low and kind of dirty. Should I change the all of the fluid or just do the 3 quart process? What are your thoughts on Lucas transmission fix?

[pits200]

@americannegr0 - I love lucas products but transmission fix is a big no-no unless you know your tranny is almost shot and it's a last ditch effort. Most transmission additives cause foaming and then dry the seals due to the detergents in them. Best thing to do is buy 9 quarts of Honda transmission fluid and do a 3 quart replacement once. Drive the car for 20 minutes hitting all 5 gears then do another 3 quart change, repeat the 20 minute drive then replace the last 3 quarts.

HI i have a question my mechanic put the transmission oil where the yellow dipstick was does it matter that he places in from there ? Acura cl type S 2001.

Hi, I have a question, do the last 3 quarts is what u keep right? You use 6 quarts to flush- 2 flushes of 3 quarts each? Thanks

@jettaracer56 hey guys i wonder if any of you can help me, im working on this car i bought it cras, now my question is, does the tranny for this car have radiator hose? meaning does the radiator plug in to the tranny and where in the tranny does it go plugged in? because i bought a radiator for a v6 accord everything fits but i have 2 hoses coming from the radiator and i wonder if all i need is seal them bcz i dont see where in the tranny they plug in. paisa1117@hotmail.com thank you!

@pits200 I replaced the fluid and now the car doesnt drive at all. Is that a comon problem? I used 3 quarts of Z1 and now I cant even get the car back on the driveway. The transmission was in bad shape but it was driveable.
