Default Gear Lube

Ok so I bought a 90 Honda accord back in August from a friend. It's been sitting since needing a clutch change and it's finally done well I need to put Gear lube in and not sure where to put it in at. I Know where I drained it from just not where to fill it haha.

Again it's a Honda Accord 5 speed

Any help is thanked.

You don't put "gear lube" in a 90 Accord manual transmission. Use Honda manual transmission fluid; a Haynes manual will say you can use 10W30 oil. There is a filler plug in the transmission similar to and a few inches above and behind the drain plug. Remove this plug (make sure the drain plug is in!). I use a funnel attached to about 2 ft of tubing, put the tube in the hole and run it outside the wheel well. The transmission will take about two quarts, fill it until is starts to run out the filler hole, then install and torque the plug.

The fill plug is a bit different looking than the drain plug. The fill plug takes a 17mm socket/wrench whereas the drain plug uses any 3/8" drive ratchet/breaker bar/etc. you use. But the fill plug is maybe an inch or two above the drain plug.
