noob swap question here...

this is dumb but. if i swap in a new F22 (keeping my existing tranny in), would the tranny fluid have to be emptied for any reason??


my best guess is no , but i thought i would check

If you're going to swap just the motor by seperating the motor from the tranny while it's still in the car, then no you don't have to drain the tranny oil. If you have an auto, you just have to be careful the torque converter doesn't get pulled out or you'll be spilling atf everywhere. But in the Honda's, I usually find it way more easier to pull out the tranny and motor as one which means you do have to drain all fluids including the tranny oil. In some cars like an older Ford Taurus, you have to pull out the engine seperate from the tranny but not in most Hondas.
