How to change Tranny Fluid?
Ok, I'm going to change the transmission fluid in my 01 accord, I've checked some of the posts but can't find great instructions. I need to know what all is involved. I know the whole drain and drive and drain and drive procedure but I've never done stuff like this before. Usually take it to a shop but I'm low on $$$. I will use Honda ATF from the dealer. Do I need to lift my car at all, or can I reach the plug and sit a pan underneath my car? Anything else I should know or do while I'm doing this? I'm also checking my PCV valve while I'm in there.

I've been told by several people not to do a flush on these transmissions. Does anyone know how much Honda ATF to buy, if I have to fill and drain a few times?
