I have honda civic lx 2002 AT. I brought 3 quart of honda automatic transmission fluid. Today i went under the car and tried to find drain bolt under the transmission but couldn't find one. All looked same to me.
Could anyone please explain me where is the transmission drain bolt located and how it looks?How to change transmission fluid?
you'll need more ATF. i think most honda trannies will need about 4 qts and you're better off getting a lil extra. when you go back to the dealer, ask the service desk for a printout of the transmission drain and fill procedure, ask nice...How to change transmission fluid?
There isnt one, to drain the transmission fluid, you must remove the transmission pan and buy a new pan gasket and transmission filter while you have it off, it should only be about 10 bucks, good luck!How to change transmission fluid?
you dont have a drain plug in your trasmission pan.you have to drop the pan to drain.How to change transmission fluid?
Transmission manufacturers started eliminating drain plugs in the mid 60's. They want the filter changed along with the fluid. If you have to drop the pan to drain the fluid they figure you will change the filter while it is exposed.
See, their logic works. Now go back to the store and by a filter too. And if you don't already have one, a BIG drain pan.
I always remove the pan bolts from two adjoining sides and then loosen the others so that I can tilt a corner down and drain the fluid. Avoids a mess on the driveway.
