Changing Tranny Fluid
I'm going to attempt to change the AT fluid in my 98 Accord Coupe V6 this weekend. Does anyone have any advice? i can read directions well but don't have a whole lot of experience with car maintenance.
I'm getting the manual and the Tranny Fluid, and filter kit.
anything problems i may run into?
thank you for any and all help

Have fun cracken the bolt off. It its ur first time make sure you have a big enough bar to get enough tourque. Anything craftsman or better is ok. Just dun use the cheep tools though.

I could never locate the filler bolt on my I4, so I used a long dipstick, and poured ATF into the dipstick hole It was a 1/2 quart that I used after I isntalled the tranny cooler...

actually, the transmission is on the driver's side on the 6th gen V6. I would assume lifteing the car on the passenger side would help in his case...
The I4s have the transmission on the passenger's side...
