BOLTS
Remove the check bolt and look for
transmission fluid coming out of the
bolt hole. If a small amount of fluid
drips out of the bolt hole, reinstall
the check bolt.
CHECK BOLT
FILLER BOLT
If no fluid comes out, remove the
filler bolt. Slowly add genuine Honda
Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF)
until it starts to run out of the check
bolt hole. Let the fluid run out until it
stops, then reinstall the check bolt
and the filler bolt.
After checking and adding the fluid,
put the under cover back in place
and tighten the bolts securely.
