So, i want to check the level of my transmission fluid, the motor is a b18a in a 92 GS 5 spd. Looked at my hondahookup manual and found the level, and drain plugs, but where the heck are they on the actual car lol?

Thanks in advance.

There is nothing like a dipstick or anything that allows you to check the fluid level like you would do motor oil. Drain it and there should be ~3.2qts in there.

 

do not drain it just to check the level... the drain plug is a 3/8 ratchet to remove and the check/fill plug is a 17mm plug... the check is on the very side toward the middle of the trans closest to your passenger tire... the drain plug is on the side also near the bottom of your trans... the trans fluid should be right at the check plug... you should be able to stick your finger in to about your first joint and get fluid on your finger, if not then its low... otherwise if you do get the fluid on your finger then your fine...

 

bump to that! i guess i learn something new everyday, i've been wondering how to check that for awhile.

 

Fill/check: bolt 18
Drain: bolt 12

 

I'm a noob and whenever I have a question or problem with something, I do find post to be helpful.

As a noob, I'm not trying to be stupid and that illiterate. I also don't want to be categorized as an internet thug. I just like to keep things simple.

You got that backwards, there should be about 2.3 qts in the manual tranny.
