it should leak out after u pour all the 2 quarts in since it only holds 1.9 quarts. then it will level off on its own. when it stops leaking out u can put the filler bolt back on

u will notice a lot smoother shifting too.

Just picked up password magnetic drain plugs. For the tranny, which hole do I put the plug into? The filler or the drain?

If you got the magnetic drain plug, you put it in the drain plug hole. Im not sure what you mean by "where do u put it"

MurdersV8s · 07-14-2006, 11:57 AM

didn't know if it mattered that my new plug looks like the fill plug and not the original drain plug.

imadigitalgod · 07-14-2006, 01:06 PM

well, if it fits and doesnt leak then it should be fine. idk y honda made the end like that on the stock one

imadigitalgod · 07-15-2006, 09:52 PM

does it fit?

vlc92189 · 07-15-2006, 10:12 PM

question... what is the vss look like on a gsR?

imadigitalgod · 07-15-2006, 10:59 PM

ill find a pic. i just find this way easier because i allready have the funnel made so it takes less time to stick it in that fill hole than it is to do the VSS...but thats just me

DireFire34 · 07-16-2006, 08:49 PM

awesome writeup

tommy. · 07-17-2006, 09:36 AM

thanks

vlc92189 · 07-18-2006, 06:51 PM

hey bro.. quick question... i know you said it has to be level.. but since people dont have a lift everyday to use.. did you use jack stands? on all 4's? keep 3 tires on or what?

DelSolMarine · 07-18-2006, 07:51 PM

i had a clicking lsd... i went a bought an additive cause i was told it will shut it up? does that go in the tranny or do i needa pull the axles and put the additive in the differential? yea im not that mechanically inclined but i get by

its the b18c complete swap with lsd

the first picture that i had posted is all i did, i just pulled it up to the end of my garage that barely drops off on that edge. i think u can get at it fine by just having it level on any ground without any dropoff. it might b a little difficult but not too hard at all

What type of additive did u get? it should say on the bottle what you need to do but from what i see, u change the transmission fluid out and add it to the new fluid

vlc92189 · 07-18-2006, 10:02 PM

lol so you kept your wheel on? im confused.
