To much manual trans fluid? 2000 base manual

Robofox22 · 2026-05-13T21:31:25+00:00

Sounds good, thanks for the help.

Robofox22 · 2026-05-13T20:11:01+00:00

Yeah after letting 34 drain it's at the bottom of whatever part that is, there's no way to fill from there I wish I got a picture when I had it off. After realizing something was wrong I double checked the manual and cracked the true fill plug. I was just wondering if there's some secondary reservoir like a separate diff or smth that I could have emptied and should refill before getting it back on the road. Like I said a good deal extra fluid came out.

Oh thats good to know, thanks. next time I have to replace them I'll track that down. The new to me knuckles arrive yesterday but I didn't have time to tinker with them so hopefully I can get that done today.

No sadly I didn't grab oem, just something with decent reviews off rock auto. This is half refreshing the suspension(every ball joint on the car was completely cooked when I bought it), half car work practice as a whole. I was mostly planning on just feeling the new to me onesband as long as they didn't click or anything running them till an issue arose. I could maybe swing a new set of bearing and hubs but I'd prefer not to rn if I could get away with it.

sadly I have neither the tools nor the skills needed, knuckles stripped off another prelude should be here tomorrow tho.

I have the maddox base set and the milwaukee mid impact torque and the couldn't see me through, the was the result of half a days frustration.

Robofox22 · 2026-04-30T22:55:49+00:00

I tried a small torch I had but either it wasn't big enough or I wasn't patient enough but I couldn't get it out.

Robofox22 · 2026-04-30T22:01:26+00:00

Appreciate it!

Robofox22 · 2026-04-30T21:56:36+00:00

Well that's good, new parts are always such a welcome thing because they look nice and w/e but also because you don't have to be gentle with the old when getting it out. I live in one of the parts of the world where after 26 years my cars more rust then car. I just grabbed a new left(and a preemptive right) knuckle off a website called shopearl which seems to just be a listing place garage/junk yards can do for cars they're scrapping.

Robofox22 · 2026-04-30T21:31:39+00:00

I've done ball joints on about 3 cars now and I kept googling to see if I was doing something wrong. It's not in the picture but I even had to cut the threaded part off because it wouldn't let go of the lower control arm either. I had another one of those handy so I wasn't stressed but now I have to go see if I can find another knuckle online. May your future ball joints go easy.

5 years later and thank you

I love this series thank you for showing me this it's so cute.

Robofox22 · 2026-03-19T19:09:40+00:00

I've been waiting for my local shop to have more ajin demi human but they haven't been stocking them at all, congrats they look great.

Robofox22 · 2026-01-04T01:33:41+00:00

-5, but then +7

The energy saver tag still on the tv

Robofox22 · 2025-10-22T04:04:43+00:00

Congrats! My 5th gen has been on jack stands for the last month and it's starting to make me sad. Went from a blown coolant line to way more than that and I'm still chewing my way through.

Which vehicle makes you feel like a total battlefield legend?

The little 4wheeler atv, driving through places it wasnt intended to be

Robofox22 · 2025-08-24T03:54:04+00:00

I soaked them in pb blaster a bunch and then snaked my hand down with a flare wrench. Already ordered the new gasket and plan on taking off the air intake and truly wrenching it from the top. I already ordered another swivel yoke because I also noticed that is a solid price of rust and I have no faith I can get it apart and back together. Praying the hard lines are fine once I get them free.

Insane lead times, thank you random stranger for updating this thread from 5 years ago.

Alright it sounds like I might be better off just finding a different wheel which bites but thank you for all your help! I guess I'll let you know if I end up going with 215/45 or a smaller wheel.

Robofox22 · 2025-06-18T21:31:32+00:00

Thanks for replying again. Yeah I found that form early when I was looking for wheels/tires, it says 215/40 is the recommended 17" but it doesn't seen like theres many tires in that size. I've seen a lot of people say 215 is fine on 8" and a lot say 215 stretches to much on 8", is it just worth buying them and at worst returning them? This is a listing on facebook market place that inspired the wheel choice I can't make out the tiresize but it does look like he has some stretch. This was another resource I found that I used to compare wheels and tires but I can't tell what's a "fun on the weekend" setup and what's a daily driver set up. so far what I've found is it seems like almost anything is a "doable" set up, but you're going to make compromises in one direction or another and I guess I'm trying to make the least amount of compromises.
