To thoroughly flush the transmission,
the technician should drain and refill
it with Honda ATF-Z1, then drive the
vehicle for a short distance. Do this
three times. Then drain and refill the
transmission a final time.
Insert the dipstick all the way back
into the transmission securely as
shown in the illustration. If you
added fluid, return to step 1 to
recheck the fluid level.
The transmission should be drained
and refilled with new fluid according
to the time and distance recommen-
dations in the maintenance schedule.
If you are not sure how to add fluid,
contact your Honda dealer.
Check the fluid level with the
transmission at normal operating
temperature and the vehicle sitting
on the level ground.
Remove the black cover under the
engine. Remove the transmission filler bolt,
and carefully feel inside the bolt hole
with your finger. The fluid level
should be up to the edge of the bolt
hole. If it is not, add Honda Manual
Transmission Fluid (MTF) until it
starts to run out of the hole. Reinstall
the filler bolt and tighten it securely.
