Q: How do i get to and change the transmission fluid filter on a 2000 honda civic dx?
i was told that the transmission filter is "inside" the car... can anyone help me to get in it and change it... i just wanna be able to work on my own car.... even just some of the stuff... its not even about the money i may or maynot save... i just want to work on my own car.. 2000 honda civic dx

A: Yes, the ATF filter is inside the tranny. Are you having problems with your transmission? It is a more advance maintenance job, than your regular oil filter change. You will have to open it from the bottom pan. The manual does not even have it scheduled on the book that it needs replacement. See link at the bottom to get more ideas.

My 2000 honda civic DX isn't passing smog, they said it needs a catalytic converter. I've been checking around and it's kinda pricey to do, well not too pricey it's about 250. I just don't have the cash right now.. Could I do it myself? Anybody know how to? Is it relatively easy to do? Sorry, it's an EX model.

Q: Does a 2000 Honda Civic Dx have struts or shocks?
Thank you everyone who left Me an answer. Thank you so much every one. Thank Goodness for Yahoo answers and the smart people who are on it. IF I FIND OUT HOW TO GIVE 10 POINTS TO THE BEST ANSWER I WILL INDEED DO IT.

A: Well the easy way to tell is look at it. If there is a shaft with a spring on the outside it is a strut. If it has no spring and is just a shaft going from point A to point B it is a shock. On some cars you can have struts in the front and shocks in the back. Others have just struts and others just shocks.

Q: what could happen if i broke a bolt on the valve cover in my 2000 honda civic dx? and can i fix it?
i tightened it too hard so it broke what can happen to my car and how can i fix it?

A: Bummer. It's not terminal, since it's just a valve cover bolt. But, you probably want to get it to someone you trust who can extract the broken remnant of the bolt out of the hole and replace it. As long as other bolts are holding the valve cover in place, you can drive the car, but keep an eye on any oil that might leak out from the valve cover gasket, and get the broken bolt extracted and replaced as soon as possible. If you want to enjoy the frustration of removing a broken bolt, go to your local auto parts store and get a set of extractors; there are various kinds out there. You usually have to drill into the broken bolt, then screw the extractor into the drilled hole, which will also screw the broken bolt out. In theory. In practice, expect lots of cussing, busted knuckles, and many failed attempts before it finally comes out.
