94 civic transmission fluid drain
If you have an automatic transaxle, there isn't a drain plug. You remove the fluid by removing the bottom pan on the transaxle, or taking it to a shop that has a vacuum pump to pump the fluid out through the fill hole.
If you are going to simply drain and fill the transaxle, find the drain plugon the bottom of the transaxle--should be a 24mm head--remove the plug and let the fluid drain. Install new fluid through dipstick passage (use only Hyundai SP3 fluid!), should take about 4qts. Checked fluid level with vehicle running and gear shift selector in neutral position. This transaxle does not have a servicable filter, even if there is an oil filter mounted to the top of the transaxle, it is a lifetime filter. Depending on milage you may want to take the vehicle to a shop and have a transaxle flush performed
On a 1998 Honda Civic there is a transmission drain bolt located on the bottom of the housing. Loosen the bolt and drain all of the old fluid. Using Honda ATF fluid top off the transmission.
The fill / check plug is on the passenger side of the transaxle directly behind the CV axle. It is a 17mm bolt. You will need a special funnel fitted with a long tube to add transaxle fluid. 10w30 motor oil is the correct fluid. Fluid should be added until the fluid level is even with the bottom of the plug hole. (Fill it until it begins to drip out)
Assuming it is a manual transmission: Remove the lower drain plug on the transaxle body and allow all existing fluid to drain completely. Replace the drain plug and remove the fill valve, located higher on the transaxle body. You'll need a pump assembly and vinyl hose to pump the transmission fluid into the transaxle. Any good auto parts store sells these plastic pumps at nominal prices. The pump assembly screws onto the top of the transmission fluid bottle. Pump the new oil through the vinyl hose into the transaxle until it begins to come back out of the fill hole. Then screw the fill plug back in. It a very easy process once you've found the drain and fill plugs and get yourself situated underneath the transaxle.
Have to drop transmission oil pan
to change the transaxle fluid on any vehicle if there is no drain plug you would just simply take down the entire pan start at a corner that way you know exactly where the fluid is gonna come from.
To change the transmission fluid is not particularly difficult. 1. Raise the vehicle as needed and support on stands. 2. Place a suitable drain pan under the transaxle and remove the pan bolts. As you remove the bolts the pan will loosen allowing the fluid to drain out into the drain pan. Be careful to avoid a spill outside the drain pan. 3. While the pan is off is an excellent time to change the transmission filter. 4. Re install the pan. lower the car and refill the transaxle with fresh fluid to the proper level. Alternate way; Remove the pressure hose to the radiator cooler. Start the engine and let the pump drain the fluid into a suitable container. As soon as the flow stops turn the engine off. Reconnect the line and fill the transaxle to the proper level with new fluid.
