k, need your guys opinions on this! sold this guy my engine and tranny (DOHC ZC and Si tranny). he has the ---- put in by his shop, finally gets it running and he "ran drove ok...for 5 min...but then hit a bump under gas and boom clutch gone...nothing just slippage...pulled like a rapped ape but thn clutch let loose..." (this was on an AOL IM) he also said that he smelt no burning clutch... so anyway he is pulling the tranny right now and this is what he sees when he pulls the drain plug on the tranny (the pic)....need your guys opinions!!! thanks

umm, thats supost to be like motor oil 10w30 not a milkshake. you havent pulled a honda tranny have you?

looks like water in the tranny.

What kinda ------- fluid did they put in? the shop should have drained it completely and re-filled it with MTF or 10-30w engine oil.

Yup definitely an oil and water shake. Stinks like ---- too and will burn at high speeds. Was there a motor swap done to get the ZC in the car? Or is it stock that way? The last time I saw that it took 2 oil changes to get the moisture completely out.

ouch, made that mistake once (not changing fluid on used tranny). Cant believe a 'shop' did....
