Ok, my plan is to change the transmission fluid, differential fluid, and coolant on my 97 TL 2.5 this weekend. Thing is the Acura dealer only had the washers for the differential plugs, they did not have the transmission plug washer or the engine block coolant drain plug washer. He checked with the Honda parts dealer as well.

What are the chances I can reuse the old metal washers for the trans and coolant drain without leaks? If this is not advisable, where else could I get the washers?

 

Update: I found that I can get the washers at just about any auto parts store problem is they don't show what size the transmission drain plug washer or the engine block coolant drain washer sizes are. Does anyone know the sizes on the 2.5?

 

when I changed my tranny filter and fluid, I just reused the same washer. Look here at # 17 and # 25. It's a 14mm washer .

When I swapped my motor, EVERYTHING was re-used. You'll be fine.

P.S. Since I lost a cotter pin, I used a paper clip to hold one of the castle nuts on the front suspension in place. Works a treat!
