i did a search and found a couple of answers, like yes its okay to use syncromesh ect. but i was wondering if any kind soul could give me a picture of a 4th gen engine bay or passengerside view so i know where these bolts are.

im so parinod because last time i changed my fluid i used a damn Hanyes maual, and they had some CRACK HEAD ideas *needless to say i was replacing my transmission a month later

when you take the passenger wheel/tire off, just see which bolt fits a 3/8" ratchet and 12mm bolt. the 12mm bolt is about 5 inches away from the drainbolt (3/8" ratchet size bolt)

 

remove drain bolt like wedley said and drain oil.

i like to pour the new MTF in from the top so i just take out the Reverse Light switch and pour the MTF from up top until it starts overflowing from the drain hole.

 

hmm, i thought i responded to this thread...

but all you need to look for when you remove the passenger side wheel/tire. is a 12mm bolt and a 3/8" socket sized bolt. a 3/8" ratchet will fit this one and this one should be the lower one (drain bolt)
whoa talk about some deju vu, i clicked on this thread and there were no replies so i replied again, lol.

 

i was lucky enough to find some smal PVC piping with a small elbow on it in my friends workshop. We used that as a way to fill the tranny from the top of the engine using the fill hole.

You will notice that the fill hole is about level with the axle. Shouldn't be too hard to find the correct bolts. I like how honda utilized the 3/8 ratchet for the drain plug.

I used penzoil synchromesh in mine and it works ok.

 

i have syncromesh
