6-speed Trans oil check
Hey guys,
Last week I did the trans oil check after reading about a couple of cars leaking because they had too much oil in them. It was also stated that the shifting from 1st to 2nd improved. When I checked the oil I got about a cup out. It takes a very long time (like several hours) for the oil to get through the tiny (6mm?) oil check bolt. I didn't notice anything drastic right away but after driving for a week or so after doing this the second gear notchiness is totally gone. I wonder if the synchros were not grabbing due to the extra oil. Anyhow it shifts real easy from 1-2 even going slow and shifting at low RPMs.

Thgis sounds like something that can easily happen at the factory especially since the 6 speed trannies were not something Acura was dealing with on a year-in year-out basis. Chad T if your'e right on this one damn you deserve a big thanks buddy

Hmm... I've changed my fluid about 4 times (unfortunateley every time the tranny came off)... so surely it wasn't filled the same each time. Did not experience any differences in the shifting.

Yeah it seems weird but the tranny would be easy to overfill. It's an easy thing to check. If it's not too full no oil will come out. Not saying there is a night and day difference or anything but the notchiness at low speeds definitely seems to have gone away to a significant degree. YMMV
