Whats one way to check to see if i have enough oil in the tranny? Its a D.O.H.C. ZC Manual.........

 

remove the tranny oil plug and put your finger in the hole. If you feel fluid you have enough

 

To add to Zaacks post, check the TOP one, not the bottom.

 

where would tranny oil plug be on a b16a?

above and to the left of the pass side axle, its in the same spot in a d-series as well

 

its usually a 17 mm bolt head. just fill it up when its level untill it pours out and replace the plug. If its a hydraulic tranny i would reccomend only honda trans fluid. some tempratures they dont like anything else and will start grinding.

 

replace the plug with what? a new one?

 

is it ok to fill ur fluid through that bolt on top of the tranny?its a bolt by the battery.

 

I don't mean to sound stupid, but this has been bothering me. Do the manual transmissions require tranny fluid? if so is that how I check it by sticking my finger in that hole? And if its low do I put oil or "Transmission fluid" in it?

O yes, they most certainly do.

Seriously though, I know that sounded dumb but I've had my hatch for over a year now without putting any tranny fluid in and I have had about 0 problems with it.

It's definitely full, or he'd have a broken tranny by now.
