Buy a Haynes / chiltons manual... step by step installs in there... also on autozone.com theres manuals for earlier model cars (ie. your 93 accord) so you might want to check there..... basically drive car, jack it up, pop the drain, let drain, refill.


oh , and only use honda atf

to change transmission fluid you will need a 3/8 rachet or something the same size.
on the bottom at the end of the gearbox you will find a bolt that the rachet will fit into.
this is the drain plug, once drained you will need to fill box with dexron type 2 at fluid and put into the dipstick hole.
you will need approx 2.5 ltrs.
make shure you shift into diffrent gears to get fluid round system before checking level and that engine is not running when checking.
hope this helps.
oh yeh and hi to all

And I am almost positive they are filterless trannies so just drain and refill...gotta do mine this week

No transmission filter to replace on the 93' Accord, so don't worry. Use a 3/8 ratchet and a breaker bar. Drain it, then fill it back up through the dip stick hole. Put the same amount in that you took out. Be sure to use only Honda ATF. Then shift through all the gears.

you do not need to use honda's atf.
you can use dexron type 2.
the amount you will put back in as about 2.5 ltrs

Sidenote if you didnt know: Dont underfill or overfill. Its not like oil or gas where you can just cap it off

So you top off your oil as well?

dipstick=needing measurement of fluids.
