Default two questions.. new to hondas.. please help

where is the dip stick to a 95 honda civic vtech for teh transmission. does the trans share the same oil as the engine?

second where can i get an idle control sensor. should i bring it to the dealership or is it something that can be done yourself. also the idle is high at around 2000 and sicne the control sensor is messed .. it revs to like 2500 in park...

first off it's vtec.....is it a auto or a manual tranny?

the manual doesn't have a dipstick.....auto does....

as far as oil goes, 5w-30 for the motor, honda transmission fluid for the case....

search for IAC and idle on here and I bet you can fix your problem. It sounds kinda like a vac hose came off.
