My friend was racing my car and speed shifted from 2 back to first and tires locked up but nothing happened, he pushed the clutch back in right away
VR17 Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 if you think the transaxle is low on oil, what you need to do is check the fill plug. the fill plug can easily be reached in the engine bay, it may be a little trickey to open, you may need to crawl down and get a 17" open ended wrench. when you take it out, stick your pinky in. if you do not feel any fluid, you can used 10w30, i believe for honda civics that is OEM spec, if you want to drain it, the is a 3/4inch socket drain plug a few inches lower of the fil plug. the tranny holds apoximently.. 2-3 quarts. or if anything try to get some sycromesh, its an additive that reduces noise, geands and stickieness.
cranny Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 naaa not a final drive , its just a 3/8 inch ratchet with no socket to get the drain plug out. 10w30 is what it takes. id say if you have a whine in your tranny its most likely a pilot bearing but i could be wrong. definitely check your fluid right away though.
xalexjx@yahoo.com Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 some of the aftermarket final drives make that whining sounds, also some do it when they get very wore, i would try cranny suggestion though, he usually knows what hes talking about,

cranny Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 not correcting VR everyone makes mistakes man specially typin crap out all the time. just correcting the info not you basically.
JDM_Hamster Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 Well that happened to my dads truck with a built 350, and to on of my friends that has a Acura Integra LS... both of them were whining really bad, the truck sounded like it had supercharger(haha!) and the Integra just sounded like crap... but both of the tranny's on the truck and the Teggy dropped out while driving, I was driving the Truck when it happened because my car was in the shop getting the B16A swap... and it wouldnt have happened to the integra if he wouldnt have lowered the car soo damn much and hit a BIG bump... all i say is just be careful whatever you do man! It could be alot of things, I just hope its not your tranny going out on you...>_<
