Manual transmission oil change
This is really easy task. You will need 2 qt. of engine oil (yes, for manual transmission on CRX Si 1990 engine oil is used, NOT the gear oil !!! use chart here to select the grade according to your climate conditions, manual pump the same as used in soap dispensers, couple ramps, wrench 17 mm and 1/2' ratchet.
Total work time is about 20 minutes.
You're done!

If the nose of the car is up in the air, you will underfill the transmission. When there isn't enough fluid in the gearbox, the Input Shaft Bearing will not be happy in the long run.Make sure the car is level when you fill the transmission.
Synthethic?

That's a pretty big 1/4" ratchet. It almost looks like a 3/8 drive ratchet or even 1/2 drive.Snappy idea
