Checking transmission oil

[mbindas]

I just got a 5spd 98 Prelude SH and it didnt come with a manual! I wanted to check my tranny oil level but I can't find the dipstick. Am I simply blind?

There are two Bolts/Plugs on the Transmission. One is the fill plug which is located on either the front or back side of the trans. If you take it out fluid should slightly drip out. That would mean that it is full. The Drain is located at the bottom of the trans. I prefer to change my fluid once a year. I beieve that the manufacture recomends change at 30K.

Make sure your car is level before you do this.
