~Items/supplies needed~

Shop towels(rags will do)
1/2" drive ratchet
3/8" drive ratchet(you can use a 1/2"-3/8" adapter too)
floor jack
drain pan
3 quarts of Honda manual tranny fluid(kinda costly)
or
3 quarts of your favorite Synthetic blend 10w30 motor oil
Lug wrench
Fluid pump(two different sizes, get one that fits a quart)

Aight now that you have all the vitals, let's get busy

**Make sure your tranny is warm before starting this procedure**

1.) Break the lugnuts on the front passenger side wheel, don't loosen them alot, just get em going.

2.) Jack the car up to remove that wheel

3.) Once you remove the wheel, you will see two plugs, one above the other, that have a square opening. The top one, the fill plug, is 3/8" while the bottom one, the drain plug, is 1/2". Remove the top plug first. Be prepared to exert yourself, it may be in there pretty good. The best way to remove these plugs would be to use a breaker bar, it is longer than a rachet and will give you more leverage when trying to "break" the plug.

4.) Once you've got that plug removed, get your drain pan and some shop towels and remove the lower plug, allowing the fluid to drain into the pan.

5.) After all the fluid is out, put the drain plug back in and tighten to manufacturer specs(don't ask me:dunno *I just tightend up so its snug, then tapped it a few times w/the hammer just to be safe*

6.) Get ur pump and place the hose into the small opening where the fill plug goes, push it into the hole about a 1/2" or so, then open up a bottle of tranny fluid(or oil if you so choose) and screw the pump onto it and begin pumping with the bottle upside down, you will be able to get most of the fluid out if you pump upside down, pumping right side up will only allow you to pump maybe 1/5th of the contents. You want to add 2.5 quarts of fluid to the tranny.

7.) When you have filled the tranny w/2.5 quarts, have the fill plug in hand before taking out the hose of the pump cause some fluid will start to come out, remove the hose and quickly put the fill plug back in and tighten, giving it 3 firm taps w/the hammer to be safe(or better yet, torque to manufacturers specs).

8.) Re install your wheel, let the jack down, torque your lugnuts and you're ready to go, almost

9.) After doing this, I got in the car and w/o starting it up, I went through the gears about two or three times to work the fluid throughout the tranny, then started up the car and let it idle for a minute or two, then with the car running, went through the gears again.

That's all there is to it, it is an easy project given you have the right tools and do things in the order they need to be done to avoid having problems like I did. I did manage to get my problems taken care of and accomplished this w/o any further complications. Have fun!
