Where does the transmission fluid go on a 2002 rsx type-s?

Answer 1

The exact same place you check the fluid level.

#1, check the service manual (Google it, you can find it for free in a number of places). #2, Get about 4 feet of PVC tubing at the hardware store, along with a funnel that will fit into the end of the tubing. Also, get 2 quarts of Honda Green Label manual Transmission Fluid (MTF) at the dealership. It should be $5-$10 each...depending on how much your local dealership wants to screw you. #3, Get under the car, but make sure that when you jack it up the car remains reasonably level. You can't just jack up the front end like you might when you change your oil. Once you've found the transmission under the car, there are two bolts, a lower and an upper. The lower one is for draining the fluid, the upper is for checking the level and for filling. #4, Get the upper bolt off first. If you can't get it off, you want to know before you get the lower bolt off and start draining. Once you get it off, shove your finger in the hole. You should be able to feel the fluid fairly close to the opening. If you can't, you might have a leak. Once you've done that, put your drain pan down and remove the lower bolt. Let the system drain for a few minutes. #5, Replace the lower bolt. Run your PVC tubing from the top of the engine bay down next to the engine and shove it into the fill hole. Leave the drain pan where it is because you will overflow from the tranny, and you want to catch this. #6, Put your funnel on the other end of the PVC tube and start to slowly pour your fluid into the transmission. Check periodically to make sure that the other end of the tube has not fallen out of the transmission, but it should be fine. #7, The manual says that you should only need about 1.6 quarts, but when I did mine it took almost 2. The point is, you need to keep pouring fluid in until it starts to pour out of the fill hole. You'll catch this overflow in the drain pan, so no worries. Once it's full, replace the bolt in the fill hole (use new crush washers when you do this, and for the drain bolt also...they're the same ones that you use on the oil drain plug). #8, you're done!
