Default Acura '99 B7VA atf change

I'm going to change the ATF in my 99 Acura. It has a B7VA model transmission. I found the drain port but not the fill port. Craming 2+ quarts down the dip stick tube will be a real hassle.

Anyone know where to find the fill port?

Your fill hole is located on top of the tranny near the rear. See the picture.
The bolt should have a 19mm head. It will be very tight, so be careful.

Thanks - that is exactly what I thought it was.
Mine has a 17mm bolt head and a 1-1/4" washer. I was a little concerned that this might not be the correct location because I kept second guessing "what would be the need to cover the port with such a large washer?" and the risk of being wrong was to great to try before asking.

Where do you get this/other parts explosions?
What I would really like to have is the technician's repair manual. Any ideas on where to find that? e-bay has a lot of promises for copies but never pan out.

You're not going to find official AH tech manuals unless you get real lucky. Let me know what you're looking for and I'll see what I can do.

The exploded part view is from a secure website.

You are correct. That is a 17mm bolt head - my bad. When you re-install this fill bolt, make sure you turn it a few threads in before tightening. The casing has been known to crack at the fill neck when cross-threaded.

You have electrical from spark plug to distributor and inside distributor? Not a complex topic I know but with 127k miles it is time.

I took my first look at it today after sending the first reply. it is not really a "distributor" is it. But I think you understand.
