My girl's car is a 1997 Honda Accord EX. I have not worked on an Accord before and I really never worked on Autos before. Civics are my game.

I know where the dipstick is for the transmission, but how do you fill it? Through the dipstick hole?

 

Yeah, that's what I do. All it takes is a really long funnel (or good aim, hehe)

 

id say you have never really worked on anything before if you dont know to put auto tranny fluid in car

Id say your an idiot. I've never worked on a auto tranny car until last weekend. I've only dealt with manual tranny cars. So since I've never worked on a auto tranny car I've never actually paid attention to how you put auto tranny fluid in. Next time try not to be so rude, he politely asked a question. If you don't have anything positive to add then mabye you shouldn't say anything at all.

 

i was confused the 1st time i had to put fluid in the accord as well. my maxima and my mom's corolla both have the dipstick at valvecover height.

Wow. I can bet anything you want that I'll own you in mechanical experience. I've worked on Automatic transmissions in Jeeps. I've tore them apart and tore them out while changing out transfer cases when you were still sucking on your mom's tittie. With Jeeps, you fill through the dipstick tube that leads to the transmission. I was asking if it's the same with Hondas. I've always worked on Manual Transmission vehicles from clutches to flywheels to minor transmission builds. So, if you have no useful information or you want to post your stupid *** comment that you know nothing about, don't. Simply, **** off.

To the other posters, thanks for your advice and comments.

 

can't we all just get along!

 

One more question. Recommended ATF?
