Acura RSX

The transmission fluid dipstick for a 2002 Acura RSX is located near the back of the engine bay, on the passenger side. It is typically a yellow or orange handle, making it easier to identify. To check the fluid level, ensure the engine is warm and running, then pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, and check the fluid level.

To replace the clutch on an Acura RSX, start by safely lifting the vehicle and removing the front wheels. Disconnect the battery, drain the transmission fluid, and remove the transmission by detaching the drive shafts, starter, and any necessary mounts. Once the transmission is out, remove the old clutch and pressure plate, clean the flywheel, and install the new clutch kit according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Reassemble all components in reverse order, ensure everything is properly torqued, and refill the transmission fluid before testing the vehicle.

The oil sending unit on a 2002 Acura RSX is located on the engine block, typically near the oil filter. It's usually found on the driver's side of the engine, towards the rear. To access it, you may need to remove some components or the engine cover, depending on your specific setup. Make sure to disconnect the electrical connector carefully before removal.

In an Acura RSX, the "M-D" on the gear shift indicates "Manual Drive" mode. This allows the driver to have greater control over gear selection by shifting manually rather than relying on the automatic transmission's settings. In this mode, the driver can upshift or downshift as needed, providing a more engaging driving experience. It is particularly useful for situations requiring precise control, such as spirited driving or navigating hilly terrain.

The screeching noise from the serpentine belt is often caused by wear and tear, misalignment, or improper tension. This can lead to slippage against the pulleys, creating a high-pitched sound. Additionally, contaminants like oil or dirt can degrade the belt's surface, exacerbating the noise. Regular inspection and maintenance can help prevent these issues.

Yes the radio has to be on. The radio code can be for on a white sticker on the glovebox. open the box and look on the left hand side (outside) for your code.

You would have to call the dealership it came from in order to get the code, tell them the serial number and they'll be able to look it up.

Either replace the belt, or go down to an auto store and purchase some belt dressing.

RSX - "regular" unleaded with at least 85 octane, no ethanol.

RSX type S - higher compression motor, requires 91 octane, no ethanol.

Mine had the same problem. Mine ended up overheating. Could be 1. Water pump gone bad. 2. slow leak from the valve cover gasket leaking oil onto your Alternator belt. That leak is caused by the bolts on top vibrating until they get loose. I am checking my thermostat just incase, but the screeching stopped when it overheated, so I am pretty sure it is the bearings in the water pump, failed at 50,000 miles. Get it replaced before the motor gets damaged/warped/cracked and you have to junk it.

By cutting it out. The rear quarter panel of any car is not like the front fender or something else bolted to the car. The rear is part of the frame so if it is damaged it must either be cut out and replaced or popped out by a professional who will actually drill small holes into it and pull it out from the inside not pull it out with one of those pops-a-dent pieces of junk.

If by stud you mean wheel stud you have to remove the bearing and have a shop take it out or rent a press and press it out yourself because wheel studs are pressed onto the wheel bearing.

It's not that hard but you need a few tools. The bracket on the top ledge need to be remove and so does the battery plugs on the pos. and neg. This is how i remove mine. First remove the neg. cord on your battery then follow to the pos. Make sure you dont touch it with any metal after you remove it. Second use a socket 10 mm to remove the black bracket that is mounted onto the front of your car. Third Use a long open gap 10mm that can reach the other bolt behind the battery that the bracket is attached to. :note: This is a long screw so do not remove the whole bolt out of it or the whole screw will drop down your car. or you could hold on to the screw and take it all out depend on how you want it. fourth when it is loosen enough or the bolt is taken out, remove the long screw if you havent dont so. Fifth take out the plastic holding on the battery. "It's the black piece outside covering the battery not the battery holder" after these your battery should be free to take out. to put it back on reverse the steps and it should be fit just like how it was taken out. Note: There is a small bout .5 inch hole behind the battery on the battery holder that you have to put the long screw back on to hold the battery tight again.

Every 90k miles just like a timing belt. You can go over but it will stretch and jump teethes screwing up your timing.

Go to a mechanic and have them check the SRS system. The light should only illuminate in the event of a malfunction.

Either in the engine area, or under the driver side of the dash.

for the engine, open the hood, and on the right side will be a fuse box, next to the intake filter. open it and on the box cap will be the diagram. check it out. if its not there, its under the dash. pop off the plastic piece right above the pedals (its a big piece) and take it off. then the piece under the steering column. (these are easy to take off, about 10 seconds for both. they are on little clips/bolt things...you just twist the knob and it opens) the diagram is on the bottom of one of those plastic pieces. check there too.

good luck!

Its the exact same car. The only thing that changes is the acura and honda emblem.

a 6 speed transmission.

Grab the Pastic ring at the bottom of the shift knob. Push down to release the boot. the turn knob counter-clockwise until off.

All RSXes have a timing chain, not a belt.
