Where to fill manual transmission fluid

dont have one, yet · 02-12-2006, 01:05 PM

Quick question,

Where is the manual transmission fill. Is it through the speed sensor, where it it typically is for other Hondas?

Thanks in advance.

There are two bolts on the tranny...one on the side for filling and and one on the bottom for draining. I think the owners manual might have a picture. You have to use a long funnel to fill it up down through the engine compartment. Once the fluid starts flowing out of the top bolt, you know it's full.

My manual doesn't have the how to picture for this, does anybody have picutures of the plug locations or a link to a how to?

It can all be found here.

Download 2000-2006 Insight Service Manual PDF and Others

I tried that, I downloaded the 50mb load of PDFs but I couldn't find it in there. The other file that is 180mb is a exe, as a run I don't download and run exe's from the net. On you recommendation I downloaded it and my antivirus warned that it might harm my computer.

I wasn't able to find or use a funnel so I went with the oil pump that I bought years ago from an auto parts store... works great.

Be sure to first remove the "fill bolt" BEFORE you remove/drain the oil just in case you have issues with the fill bolt, this way you won't be stuck without oil in the tranny

LOL....

Just run the damn executable, don't be silly. As if the forums would be hosting a virus for years.

I ran the exe and found the proper pdf.

I still think it is a really bad idea to have something be a exe that could have been a zip file. Common sense is the best anti-virus.

Very true. It's also a bad idea to post an exe because of the increasing number of Mac users who can't run a Windows exe.
