there is a drain screw on the trans. I would only use Honda trans fluid, I didnt and have nothing but problems since. -
O is there just like doin an oil change? But where do I put the oil in for the tranny? And I can get the oil in a honda dealer right?Originally posted by lilb_1979 View PostComment

yes, it is like the oil but the screw is different. you don't need a socket to get it out, you just put your 3/8(or 5/8, cant remember. sorry) ratchet to it. Oh and like the oil, but you dont need a filter.Originally posted by AcCoRd91cBsEveN View Post
yes the fluid is at the dealership.
to fill it its where you check the fluid level, you need to get a trans funnel, its long and got a screen in it. I will take a pic if you need to tomorrow on where it is if I need to.Comment

Any auto parts store will have the funnel, if you have to just ask then " hey, where's your tranny funnels?" I'm sure someone will help you.Comment

I read another thread on here about tranny fluid and a member put that its not good to flush the tranny I need a little more input on this I already know where everything is at but its this like an oil change remove the plug let all the oil drain 1nce is done plug it back and fill? Or is there a different way and how do I know its full does the dip stick have a limit like the motor oil dip stick?Comment

well, thats right. I have seen trans start to slip after changing the fluid. I have only seen this if the car does not get new fluid like I think its every 60,000 miles or something like that. Do you have a Haynes manual for the CB? It tells you in there how much fluid the CB should take. I have one and will look for you. You have a 91 Accord right?Originally posted by AcCoRd91cBsEveN View PostComment
