thats all there is. a spout, no more bolts to take off or anything and no hole, well not one big enough for filling fluid into

heres a pic for ya put ur sensor cable back in and make sure is tight so u dont leak all over the place ! u can use the bottle that has the nipple on top or u can use a long thin funnel u can get one for trans fluid at lik a autozone or something . heres a pic fill it till it wont take anymore .

Not true you should really use honda mtf... but the parts store will tell you to use oil. Both work but the honda mtf is much better the tranny will last longer and shift and feel smoother. Just my 0.2 cents

This, and why dont you just fill it through the fill plug?

x2!! just remove the fill plug on the side of the trans, take a piece of hose attached to the end of a long funnel, aand fill it from the top till you see oil come out the hole. bam! its full!. aand the trans uses 5w/30 oil or the best to use is honda synchromesh manual trans fluid!

I used 10W-30 before and it does work but you will feel a difference with honda mtf. The syncros just grab quicker with the honad stuff. The 10w30 will cause a slight resistance as you go into gear
