there should be a large round metal plug located above the axle that you can take off with a 1/2 inch driver.

you can also unbolt the vss and fill from there but its a little harder to get the amount right, should be filled to the bottom of the hole for the big plug previously mentioned

Please don't put tranny fluid in your manual transmission.
Add oil.

honda mtf only. dont mess with the sycromesh unless ur tranny is effed. most tranny grinds can be solved with just replacing tranny fluid with honda mtf. easiest way to fill is through the reverse light switch. takes a little under 2 quarts i think

isn't the reverse light switch much lower than the actual fill point how could you fill it to the proper level there?

It is simple get under the car and unbolt the one bolt and fill using a pump or long hose and a funnel post a pic of the tranny and we can tell you exactly where if you want.
