2.
with a flat-tip screwdriver, then carefully remove the under cover.
3. Remove the transmission filler bolt and washer. Carefully feel inside the bolt hole with your fingers.
Check if the fluid level is up to the edge
of the bolt hole.

and clips.
Manual Transmission Fluid
If Honda MTF is not available, you may use the API certiicated SAE 10 W-30 or 10 W-40 viscosity motor oil as a temporary measure.Replace with MTF as soon as possible. Motor oil does not contain the proper additives for the transmission and continued use can cause stiffer shifting.
