I have a prelude but I have to help my friend with an automatic 04 Civic ex sedan change the transmission fluid. I was wondering what size is the drain bolt (just stick the socket of the wrench in the bolt?) and do I fill the fluid from the dipstick or is there a separate filling place? Pics would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

anyone?

 

pour fluid where the dipstick is. 3/8th ratchet with no sockets.

 

Awsome! I am guessing that I am filling up about 2.6 quarts?

Thanks a bunch

Sounds about right.. but use the dipstick to check you are at the proper level. also when you drain an auto tranny you are only draining about a 1/3 of the fluid. remember that the Torque Converter will still have a ton of fluid in it.. so what you can do is the drain and fill and drive, a few times to get most of the fluid replaced.

Good luck..

 

yea about 2.9 quarts.. but just keep checking when u get close
