Default Changing manual Trans Fluid 2005 Accord

Hey folks!!

I tried looking around for an answer before posting, but I am not having much luck.

I think I found the drain bolt (3/8" ratchet) and the fill bolt just above and to the right of the draing bolt. But this is all on the driver's side, and not the passenger's side like it states in other posts.

Are these the two bolts I am looking for?

thanks!!

Yes the drain plug has a 3/8 square hole in it #10 in the pic;
And the fill bolt should be a 17mm above the axle inner CV joint #15 in the pic.
The Pic is a 4 cyl.

Thanks hondadude!

I thought those might be it given the description given in these forums, but seeing as how they were on the driver's side and not passernger side, I wanted to be sure I was not missing anything.

Now it's off to replace the fluid!!

assuming you have a four cylinder the K series engine rotates the opposite way so the engine is flipped around in the engine bay from the previous generation Accords. So your transmission would now be on the driver side instead of on the passenger side like you were reading in other posts, those other posts were most likely in reference to a 90-02 Accord.

The 4-cylinder Accords flipped the engine around to the opposite side, beginning in 2003 with the K-series engines. The V-6 Accords have already flipped around, beginning when? 1995?
