Where did you get your engine cover at?

[ManClubAustin]

@vietkid20062007

It's from a Honda Crosstour. I painted it.

How many quarts of the GM transmission fluid did you put in or buy? Thanks

[ManClubAustin]

@khova57

I bought 3...used approximately 2 1/4

so did it work? its all fine and dandy but did it work or not

[ManClubAustin]

@theRDRman

Yes, it worked. Shifts like butter and no 3rd gear hang-ups.

hey i did a j32a swap on my civic (ya my civic now has a 3.2 6speed in it) but now it pops out of third gear when i shift, only pops out of third any advice before i blow more cash on actual synchros.

That's the formula that I'd use if I extended the length of the torque wrench. I'm not sure that formula applies using the type of extensions I used. At worst, they'd flex a little bit and I'd probably be off by a few ft lbs. But as you say....it's just a filler cap.

[Thamac15]

@ManClubAustin M1 = M2 x L1 / L2

Where:

M1 is the torque setting of the wrench.

M2 is the actual torque applied to the nut

L1 is the normal length of the wrench

L2 is the extended length of the wrench

do the math and see if you're too high or too low. I'm a jet mechanic so our torque values have to be exactly what our technical order says. this is the calculation we use every day. I know it's just a filler cap, but i'm OCD like a fat kid with the right amount of fudge topping.
