    yeah needs more oil man if you dont add it soon you will kill it,
    i used a 5ft long pipe hooked up to the socket wrench sticking up though the engine bay to get that bitch off! i hate that bolt with a passion make sure to put some antiseize on it when you reinstall it

    another way is to put the socket wrench on it with teh handle facing down and kick the living crap out of the socket wrench

    and last resort way is to take off the VSS , its held in with 1 10mm bolt just wiggle it up and out and then add oil to the big hole on top of trans, but when you do this i recommended you drain it then add the 2.5 quarts so you dont over fill it

    Question is why the "mechanic" did not remove the fill plug??? And just added 1 liter (little over a quart???)

    I would remove both fill and drain plug, drain EVERYTHING looking at the condition of the drained fluid -look for metal shavings- and then add honda manual trans fluid (preferred) or engine oil. I am using synchromesh in my 5G civlc and works fine but in your case I'd go with honda MTF
    If it ain't broke... I fix it!
