The dipstick for the tranny is on the front of the trans close to the radiator.
Just open the hood and look straight down and to the left of the little flat spot that has the engine code numbers on it.
the top radiator house kind of blocks it from sight.

Check the level and condition (color and smell) first! Just don't go dump it in there.
Your going to need a long funnel too.

... and as **** as it sounds limit your choice of ATF to Honda's offering. These Transmissions have been known to get funky if you use anything else.

I beg to differ. I have used both AMSOIL and Royal Purple in my tranny and have had NO problems at all. Ironically I believe Honda ATF is just Mobile1 ATF anyway.
