where can i find the transmission plug on a 1990 honda accord lx 9 (automatic)??
pictures if possible would be a big help

There is no drain plug on the automatic transmission. You need to carefully remove the pan to drain the fluid.

how do i remove that pan?
where would i find the pan?

JDM_DC4_Fanatic

the pan is under the transmission. you remove it by taking out all the bolts holding it in.

I suggeset you either take it to a shop or buy the service manual for your car, because if you cant figure out where the pan would be, you could cause serious damage to your transmission if you do not perform the service correctly.

Dont get me wrong, I am not trying to be an ***, I am trying to save your tranny.

there was a drain on my 92 and 93 transmission...jack the car up on the side the transmission is on and look right around the arm that blocks the tranmissions view partially and there should be a service bolt if its the same as 92/93

Based on your inexperience....DO NOT JACK THE CAR UP AND GO UNDERNEATH THE CAR! MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A JACK STAND, JACK THE CAR UP PUT THE STAND ON THE JACK POINT AND THEN LOWER THE JACK AND LET THE CAR REST ON THE STAND. MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE E-BRAKE UP AS WELL.

Just a warning.

seeing as you dont have to go under the car to do any of what i mentioned i have done it with just a jack once but usually do use the stands, but did forget to add that in so thanks

WOW i can't believe how many people have said and led you to think their is a transmission pan on your honda accord. good thing these guys work at fast food places and not actually work on car's.

haha,

yeap but that pix is small to see (maybe my firefox browser?)

you have a free repair guide for this model on free autozone repair guide/haynes lookalike?

& confirms NO tranny pan, just a drain plug!



other threads on this as well for doing it at least 2x to help get the old fluid out or at least dilute the old fluid w/ some fresh oil...

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote"> 1. The car should be at operating temperature before beginning. If possible, drive several miles to warm the transaxle oil before draining.
2. With the engine OFF, raise and support the front of the vehicle. Agility and long arms may allow the job to be done with the car on the ground but it's much easier with the car raised and safely supported.
3. Place a fluid catch pan under the transaxle.
4. Remove the lower drain plug by using a ratchet in the square recess; don't hurt yourself by trying to grab a round bolt with a pair of pliers. Drain the fluid.
5. Using a new washer, install the bottom plug and tighten it to 29 ft. lbs. (40 Nm) on Accords through 1989 and Preludes through 1991. On other models, tighten the plug to 36 ft. lbs. (50 Nm).
6. Lower the car to the ground and check that it sits level.
7. Refill the transaxle through the dipstick hole until the level is between the upper and lower marks. A narrow funnel may be required on later models with the pull-out type dipstick. On Accords with 6-cylinder engines, the transaxle can be filled either through the dipstick or a filler bolt hole on top of the transaxle. Tighten the bolt to 58 ft. lbs. (78 Nm). Check the level frequently with the dipstick. Do not overfill.
8. Start the engine and move the shift lever slowly through all the gear positions. Allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature. This will allow the fluid in the transaxle to warm and provide for a more accurate level check.
9. Turn the ignition OFF. Remove the dipstick and double check the level, topping up if necessary. Reinstall the dipstick securely.</TD></TR></TABLE>
