transmission question

[devstar66]

okay guys havent been on here for a while and I got a quick question first off my tranny (AUTO) started giving me problems for the past week and this week first thing that happened was i started up my cb and it started up fine i noticed tho that it was kinda hard to shift from P to R but i was like F that whatever so i drove down my street thats when i realized it didnt shift right like if it got stuck in 3rd or something so i stopped and checked my AT fluid and it was ok but i added some HONDA fluid to it very little and after i did that it runs fine now ive been doing this for the past several days just adding a little here and there so today i got pissed off and finally checked under neath the car and noticed there was a hairline crack on my tranny.So my question is does just a little bit of AT fluid dripping out cuase my shifting problem,and how many quarts of fluid do i need to refill my tranny.

I did an overhaul of the f22 auto this past march. I also took off the torque convertor and emptied the tranny fluid from that too. It took me 5 and 1/2 quarts of Honda AT transmission fluid to fill it up.

From what I was told, pour in 2 and 1/2 quart, raise the car, turn on car, let sit 30 second in park, then 30 second in reverse, then 30 second in neutral, the 30 second in d4, 30 second in d3, 30 second in 2, then 30 second in 1. And repeat the process up shifting. Then once you get to park, shut the car off, lower the car, check tranny dipstick and refill as necessary until you are at the top level on the dipstick.

Long process, but it will guarantee that you have sufficient fluid in your transmission case and torque convertor.

Btw, let the wheel spin freely when you are shifting. And stop the wheel completely before going into reverse or park from drive or from reverse to drive.


Shifting allows the fluid to travel through all the solenoids on the tranny.


Hope that helps buddy. Don't forget to add to my reputation.
