The manual states that the tranny holds 6 qts of ATF. I went to Honda and bought 6 qts of the new DW (or something) that replaced the ZF-1 and put 5 qts in. This is after draining the engine via the drain plug, and hoisting the engine up (tranny side down) for removal. I am wondering how much fluid remains in the tranny since adding a few drops from the 6th qt began filling up the filler tube neck; much higher on the dipstick than it should be. I plan on turning the motor over via the starter but without spark in an effort to circulate some fluids. Will this kill my tranny or is there air in there that will take on some of the fluid? I have turned it over with a socket on the crank pulley, but that is pretty slow and gentle.
