Remove the filler/checker bolt and stick your pinky in there - the level should be right at the bottom of this bolt hole.
If you tried filling it through this hole, the excess would be allowed to run out and thus the 'perfect' level of fluid is attained.

No sir - thats gonna be your drain hole.
The bolt that is removed is the one you can just use a 3/8 drive ratchet to remove, correct?
The bigger bolt above and to the left is what I'm talking about.

Remember your car has to be level. If it is jacked up to one side or just the front you will get an inacurate reading of the fluid.

is there a technique to doing this for at homers?</TD></TR></TABLE>
Yes.
Remove air intake pipe and/or airbox and fill from there with all 4 corners on the ground. Use a funnel and connect a rubber hose that fits in the fill hole to the funnel. Fill away.
To drain, do the same thing. I use a small pan to remove all tranny fluid, it isn't much. Never lifted a tire off the ground in the times I've changed my transmission fluid.

Re: Transmission fluid check (Dimi)
There is a much easier way to do it. Pull your VSS out and take the filler plug out. Pour the oil in and when it comes out of the filler hole you are good to go. Then put the bolt back in the filler hole and put your VSS back in. It will save you a ton of headaches doing it that way.
I know my gsr tranny takes like 2.6 qts of oil when it is drained. Hope that helps.

Re: Transmission fluid check (nixadm)
well easiest way to do it is get a 3 foot hose that fits loosely and a freind and attach a funnel to the hose and keep an eye on it and fill to it starts to come out and let the overflow drain then put the plug back in and you are done
