You will have to drop the tranny pan and let the fluid run all over the place (get a kitty litte pan to catch it all). While the pan is dropped, change the filter and other consumables to include the pan gasket.How do I change the transmission fluid on acura 3.2tl (1999).?

Jack the vehicle up, unbolt the transmission plug on the transmission pan(it's going to be somewhere in the front because it is FWD). You should also change the filter and gasket while you are in there. It looks like a thick flat plastic case with a tube running up into the transmission. After you have drained everything and changed the filter (you might want to wait a little while for it to drain) bolt it back up and add the fluid into the transmission fluid tube under the hood. DO NOT POUR IT IN THE OIL TUBE! they look similar. Good luck.
P.S.- when you change your transmission fluid, you do not change all of it, there is still some old fluid in the transmission. It is better for the car (especially if it has high milage) if you take it to a shop to have them do a full system flush. It is more expensive but if you think your car needs it, it's worth it in the long run.
