there should be a dip stick with a yellow handle behind the oil tank, closest to the windshield.
It is important to use the correct amount of fluid in a car. The 1988 Acura Legend takes about 3.2 quarts of transmission fluid.
Same place you check it if it is an A/T. If it is a manual there is a plug located near the top of the transmission.

how do you add transmission fluid on 98 acura cl 3.0
It could be a number of things going wrong. Try dropping the transmission pan and changing the transmission oil filter and transmission fluid.
To change transmission fluid on a Acura 3.2 TL you must first check the existing fluid level when the transmission is hot which takes 15 to 20 minutes of driving. Next you will need to dip the dipstick in the transmission fluid to check the level which should be between the third and second level of the dipstick. Use a funnel to add transmission fluid if necessary. Next start the engine and shift into each position and then apply the parking break and turn the engine off. Recheck the transmission fluid and add more if necessary.
There is a plug on the side of the transmission and you will need a funal with a long hose. Do not put transmission fluid in the trans. I believe that they use 30 weight oil for these cars. Be sure to check with your local auto parts store.

Check your transmission fluid level. If it is low add just enough Acura A/T fluid ATF DW-1 to reach the full mark. Warning: Do not overfill and use only genuine Acura ATF DW1 fluid and nothing else. Check it according to the owners manual instructions. If it is full then you need to seek professional help and have the fluid filter changed. Insist they use only Acura Fluid and no substitute which they may try to use or your transmission will not sift properly.
Any type of SAE certified transmission fluid can be used in the 1997 Acura. The transmission should never be overfilled.
what fluid??
There is a fill hole in the side of the transmission towards the middle facing inward. The fluid should be just high enough to not run out of the hole.
