Hi All
I want to change auto transmission fluid in my 2.4 vtec. Is it a diy job and any filters involved?
Thanks
Joe
 
Yep easy and no filters. You will only get 30% out from a normal change. If you want to do a full drain and refill then that’s a much more involved job.
 
Thanks Buddy
Is the other 70% in torque converter, and too much to do without a ramp, and is 30% worth doing?
 
There is a filter underneath the airbox that I changed on mine. I didn't notice much difference from replacing it but I'm sure it helped in some way.


It's really easy to change the fluid I've done it a few times. The whole undertray needs to be removed, undo the bolt and drain the fluid. I take the tray off then go for a run to get the oil hot first. Refit the bolt and fill up with a funnel using the dipstick hole.

I think it was 4.2 litres or just under as you never get all of the old fluid out but it says in the handbook.
