Hi I'm new here - I'd say my name is Ed and I'm from Iowa but that would be redundant. I've just picked up a 93 Protege LX auto, 140k on it. I've done some searching and found some answers - still looking for a bit more info.
Planning on dropping the trans pan and putting in new fluid and filter. Don't know if I really need to but thought I would. The fluid in there right now is brown but smells fine. I wanted to know if anyone could give me the torque specs for the bolts on the pan, and any bolts that have to be loosened on the cross-member? (which hopefully just needs to be loosened and not completely removed?)
How much am I going to need to refill - about 4 qts? And what's a good ATF to go with? You just go with the latest universal Dex/Merc stuff that's out there now, like the Valvoline? And which one - the high-mileage red bottle (what I put in my 91 Civic) or the full synthetic blue bottle?
Appreciate any information anyone has to share and thanks in advance.
