Ok well i just bought my teg and when doing a tune up i decided to change the tranny fluid. So i go down and buy some fluid and when I take out the drain plug, about half an OUNCE comes out...theres suposed to be about 3 quarts in there... So in disbelief i poured some new tranny fluid in with the drain plug still out...poured right though...

Who knows how long this has been like this, but I filled it up took about 2.8 quarts and it feels better now

I never had any noises in the tranny, was never hard to shift, no grinding, nothing...

HOW in the hell did my tranny not die?!?!

Can anyone explain to me how a tranny would survive with that much oil in it, and if it is OK now that i have fluid in it and its acting just fine (especially since it has 200k miles on it)

Thanks

 

Luck dude. I drove (Lord Forgive Me For What I Am About To Say) a Mustang for six months with a half of quart of oil trying to tear it up. No dice. Girlfriend is still driving it (With Oil now)

 

I'm surprised your transmission stayed in gear. I wonder if you opened your transmission up now, how much metal shavings you'd find on your magnet.

 

woah that is luck... so you gunna tear it down anytime soon to make sure everything is gravy?

also i like your sig lol thats a funny quote...

 

very lucky. extremely suprising it endured that.
she's a keeper boys!

 

I dont know how to, nor have the time to break it down, i am going to keep flushing it with fluid every 100 miles or so and place a magnet on the drain bolt to see if i can get all the shavings out, but it is still shifting smooth and running great. I heart my honda :kiss:

 

Why would it not stay in gear...the thing NEVER ground, is what i really dont understand even on 6k shifts...

 

When I bought my 92RS, I got a great deal because the 3rd gear grinded and 5th gear was a bear to get into. After I bought the car ($1100), I checked the tranny fluid and found about half a quart. After refilling with Honda MTF, all is well, no grinds and 5th is easy to shift into again. Lucky me also

 

The last time I drove around with no trans oil, I blew my countershaft input gear and was left with a trans that only worked in fourth. I had just bought the car and was meaning to check the oil level, but it blew before I had the chance. Don't know how long it was like that, probably the whole 5k miles I had it and then some.
