Followup: Changing gearbox oil in later model c900 Posted by Saabina [Email] (#33) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Saabina) on Sat, 2 Aug 2014 20:25:56 In Reply to: Changing gearbox oil in later model c900, Saabina [Profile/Gallery] , Tue, 15 Jul 2014 15:00:02 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Bought some cheap stamped metal ramps at Harbor Freight. First problem was they are too high and interfere with the chin spoiler but easily rectified by driving the front of the car onto a couple of short 2x6's set onto the bottom of the ramp to raise it first. I also set a couple 2x4's crosswise the correct distance in front of the rear wheels to help prevent driving too far off the front of the ramps. Once done it's a cinch to get to the rear transmission cover (and most everything else under there.) It is an easy job to remove it (a long socket extension passed over the steering rack gets the top two bolts.) Like RS said, removing the cover allows a thorough magnet and screen cleanse as well as the bottom of the case under the ring gear. Our '92 c900t Vert has already had the Townsend reverse fix by a PO's Indy but there were a few small chips. Once cleaned and ready, re-filled with Honda MTF (at a decent price from the local dealer @ $6.80/qt by the case including tax) and good to go. I've been driving c900t's for 27 years and this is the BEST shifting ever. If you have not tried the Honda MTF, I'd highly recommend it.
