1. turn car on.
2. take it for a 5 min drive (warm it up to operating temp)
3. park car on level ground and do not turn off
4. open hood dip stick is on left side of engine and should be orange colored (it is orange on my 94LX)
5. wipe dip stick with clean rag and reinset into trans
6. pull out and check trans fluid level. add if needed to bring it to the full level


I use a white paper towel as this allows me to check the color of the fluid. If it is dark and smells burnt, find a honda shop that has a tranny flush machine and have them flush and fill the trans for you. should be no more than $100

 

you should chk tranny fluid with car off

and u dump fluid back down the dipstick tube. U will most likely need a funnel.

 

Thank you everyone..i did not realize the dipstick was that far down..checked it everything is good. This forum is very helpful glad i found this and look forward to more questons and answers in the future.

what about on a manual transmission car?

 

somewhere in that area. but he found it anyways
glad we could help

 

in that corner, i have the brake fluid container and the clutch resovior

but how do i check the tranny fluid?

 

I'd like to know where I can find my tranny fluid is also , for an 01' accord 5spd

 

sorry devilpuppy i confused myself.

Heres what i got from my manuel, as far as where that bolt is i guess just look around your transmission. Ill go down and see if i can locate it in a minute.

 

oh boy

this is will take years to find lol

i dont even know where to start

 

Its not hard to find. Jack up ur car evenly look on transmission side and u will c a bolt next to the axle. That should be the bolt for the tranny and do whatever the directions in the pic above tell u.
