Yes i searched and couldnt find the amount. The side plug is nearly stripped i cannot get it off so i just drained it and im gonna fill it thru the breather cap at the top. I have 3 Qrts of MTF sitting in my garage so im gonna throw that in there. I just wanted to make sure i know the exact amount so i dont overfill it since im not gonna be usin the side filler cap.

 

im pretty sure it is 3, i just bought some trans fluid from honda too and they said it took 3 quarts so ...

 

just pour the stuff in until it runs out. just a little over 2 quarts should do you good.

EDIT: i am a moron who cant read. i can copy and paste from helms though. this is from my 96-98 manual.. dont know if the 99 is any different:

Reinstall the oil filler plug with a new washer.
Oil Capacity
1.8 f (1.9 US qt, 1.6 lmp qtl at oil change)
1.9 t (2.O US qt, 1 .7 lmp qtl at overhaul)
Always use Genuine Honda Manual Transmission
Fluid (MTF). Using motor oil can cause stiffer shifting
because it does not contain the proper addittves.

 

It's 1.8 quarts to change it out and like 1.9 for a complete overhaul. A good way to make sure that you got it right it to drain the MTF out and put it back into empty quart bottles and see how much you have. Replace that same amount in the car.

EDIT because I was wrong about the overhaul.
