It's a sealed tranny, no dipstick, but not a problem for a backyard mechanic to check or refill. Here's what I did based on the research gathered from various sources. I wanted to replace the trans fluid and filter in my 96 Passport so I first purchased a filter and gasket kit for the main pan. I also purchased another gasket for the smaller overdrive housing in front of the main pan. Got 9 quarts of Dextron III fluid and a bottle of trans additive (Xentex), since the trans had 147,000 mile on it. There are two plugs on the bottom of the main trans pan. The lower plug is the drain. Upper plug is the fill. Open the lower plug and drain. If your changing the filter and gasket, then do so now. Take care not to over tighten the gasket bolt's when reassembling, etc, etc.... To fill, you'll need a fluid pump. I went to Northern Tool and purchased a $20 hand pump with hoses. After closing the bottom drain plug, open the fill plug located about two inches higher on the corner of the main pan. Insert the fluid pump hose into the fill hole and start pumping. I used a bucket, clean of course, to hold about 4 quarts of fluid at a time, with additive, and filled the trans until it trickles out of the fill hole. OK, here's the odd part. With fill hole open, fluid pump hose inserted, start up the truck. Keep shifter in park. The trans will suck up the fluid from the bottom pan. Then continue filling (pumping) fluid up into the fill hole until it flows out again. The manual says the trans must be between 94 and 130 degrees before the fluid levels off, (stops dripping from fill hole). Since I didn't want to invest in a fluid thermometer, I just ran the truck for about ten minutes and felt the bottom of the trans till it felt slightly above body temp, (guessing about 100 degrees F to the touch. After a fluid stops dripping, plug back the fill hole. Done. Passport has been shifting fine after that. Trans works great, shifts like butter. Total cost, about $50 for the do-it-yourself mechanic. Of course, this method does not "flush" the trans of all it's old fluid, it only takes about 6 new quarts out of the 9 quarts that it needs. Some of the fluid stays in the converter, etc...
It may not have a dipstick for the transmission fluid. Have to take it to a garage. My Honda Passport 2001 is in this category.
You cant check the transmission fluid yourself , you have to take it to a shop and get them to check it . It doesn't have a stick , it has two things on the trans ,one to check the fluid and one to drain it ..
There is a bolt u have to take out to see if the fluid is full .. The bolt is located under the car by the transmission .. only way to check and fill the transmission fluid
How do I check the transmission fluid on a 1983 Honda Civic 1500DX
I'm not sure which plug (bolt) it is, but there is supposed to be one plug for filling the transmission and one to tell when the fluid is at the correct level. There isn't a dipstick.

I owe a 98 Honda Passport and the Transmission Fluid had to be pumped directly in the transmission. I had to take mine to a shop. Yes, the transmission on a 1998 Honda Passport is a sealed transmission, which means it has no dipstick and it only has one plug located underneathe the vehicle on the transmission itself. You have to drain and fill the transmission through the same hole. So you need to take it to a shop where they have a machine which will do this.

how do i check the transmission fluid on a 1988 Honda accord, it is a automated
The 1996 Honda Accord transmission has a fluid capacity of 5.3 quarts. You can check the transmission fluid level with the transmission fluid dipstick.
There is no dipstick for the transmission, Honda/Isuzu calls it "lifetime fluid". They really don't even specify a fluid change for the life of the vehicle. You might want to call Honda and see if they have changed the recommended fluid change or check intervals. When I worked at a Honda dealer, there was no certain time or mileage specified. Neat huh? That's what happens when Isuzu gets into the mix......
Check the fluid level. If you have to add some make sure you use only genuine Honda ATF DW-1. If the fluid level is ok, then you need to seek professional help.
