Wanting to change my manual tranny fluid in my 99' LX.

I bought honda MTF for my last change. Here is a good picture of the drain and fill plugs.

Also, look in the stickies for the fluid swap procedure. It's pretty straight forward.

Thanks fellas! I changed it when I had my 94 LX and put 10w30 in it but haven't 99 changed it in my 99 yet. So ill go grab some MTF from honda.

How many quarts she hold? And if anyone has access to a repair/service manual I would much appreciate it!

Thanks again fellas for the advice!!

It's just the way the transmissions were made. Put Honda MTF in the 92-95 and you can kiss your ISB goodbye.
