Does anyone know how to check the transmission fluid on a manual transmission
1986 Accord Lxi.

With the car on level grond remove the transmission fill plug directly behind the passenger side half-shaft. The fluid level should be up to the bottom of the fill plug hole. Use your finger to see how low it is if it's not full enough to leak out a little when you remove the bolt.

Those are pretty hard to get off, and they strip easy if you don't have the socket perfectly straight on there. I ended up just welding a 17mm socket onto the bolt, so I can just use a 1/2 drive breaker bar and get good leverage without stripping anything.

Mine was so hard to get off i sheared off two sockets, and couldnt get it off with a 18" breaker bar. I ended up having to use a wench to get the bolt off...it was really seized on there.

Just a heads up.
