1999 Civic EX coupe 5 spd manual.....how much does honda charge for tranny fluid change? I only want honda to do it!!!!!!!!!

bout .5 hrs, price depend on labor rate.....looking around $50 plus fluid

Most of the quick lube places charge about $75 to do a trans axle fluid flush and change

firestone charges .8 of a hour at $89 so about $75 sounds right to me. or you could just crawl under there pop the drain plus on ur trans and fill her up urself its not rocket science on 5spds















1 pull e-brake and chalk rear wheels jack up veh supporting it securely















2 confirm you have a trans dip stick if so continue to step 3















3 crawl under veh locate transmission drain plug.















4 remove trasmission drain plug until all fluid has exited















5 replace trans drain plug.















6 carefully lower veh to level sitting pistion















7 remove trans dipstick and with a funnel carefully add dealer recommended fluid type and amount















8 start veh allow to warm up to operating temp and check fluid level add accordingly if necessary















9 turn trans dipstick to proper location and drive fast and take chances

It can range from $70-$100. I would change it yourself. It's usually cheaper and that way you'll know your car is getting the right fluid. If don't do it yourself then just stick with Honda, you never know what other small shops may use as fluid and those Honda transmissions are a bit different.































Honda MTF is a great choice especially for a daily. If you drive the car a bit hard then I suggest you check out Royal Purple Synchromax or Pennzoil Synchromesh fluids. Also, the manual transmission does not have a dipstick and the filler bolt is located on the passenger side of the transmission, it's a 17mm. Only fill until fluid starts coming out.
