I guess I really am as dumb as I look.So,how DO you refill the tranny on an 88 civic w/ manual trans. I drained the oil and can't see how I replace it.

I'm not 100% sure for an EF.

It may be the same.

On my Eh3 Theres two bolts.

1) take the top bolt off and let the excess fluid drain out
2) take the bottom bolt out and let the rest of the fluid drain out.
3) after all the fluid has drained out put the bottom bolt back in.
4) Your going to need a funnel/tube to stick in the top tube (the bolt has to be off/common sense)
5) fill your tranny fluid up and then have someone below you to put the bolt in as soon as you pull the funnel out.

goodluck bro

spend the 12 bucks and get the haynes or chiltons, it will answer all the little questons like that.

 

Thanks for the help Bauley.
So nice of you to respond.

 

the fill plug is just to the left of the passenger side axle . you'll need a long funnel.

Hmm If you read this article, Im not sure if the transmission fills the same way.

There's the common bolt sitting under on the side of the transmission that holds the fluid in. Basically u know the tranny is full when the fluid starts dribbling out. But however, there is also a speedsensor sitting on the top of the transmission. You unbolt it and it uncovers a hold on the top of the transmission where you can place a funnel and fill the fluid up until it starts dribbing from the bolt under it. Hope that helps man.
