Stand at the passenger side and lean / dive into the engine bay. Rest your body onto the engine. Its super easy to do, once the clamps are off just twist the hose left and right until it comes loose. Put some rags around the area as some trans fluid will leak out.
That I will be trying--- with a rug or something on the outer guards. (I just hope no one starts taking a video of me while I do that. It would look like a whale trying to hump a Honda! :o )
Hey guys, thinking of getting one of these for my trans and engine.... http://fumoto.com.au/info.htm
Anyone have the measurements for the transmission plug- I need the diameter of the plug and the pitch between threads? or using one to let me know which model they bought?
If anyone is about to do theirs, could you please measure?
But why though?
The plug for that transmssion as actually MAGNETIC
and you know kinda helps pick up floating shrapnel in your transmission - which would otherwise get into fragile bits and ruin them
They're fine for your ENGINE oil plug
But Honda engineered the AT plug with a magnetc FOR A REASON
Ah right, slipped my mind that it was magnetic...Quote:

From experience, "Ball" valves, can ( and do) leak from the seal on either the ball over time.
yeah, I was worried about too but plenty of people on another forum and the makers claim that they havent had any issues on it yet with the amount they have sold...... tempted to throw the $40 at it to test but not sureQuote:
