I take it you didnt find the Transmission Drain Plug?

its the biggest bolt on the transmission (24mm i think) at the furthest point to the ground looking at it from the drivers side.

Im just trying to picture trying to drain the fluid out of the fill hole...thats a good one.

Yeah, changing the tranny fluid isn't very hard, it can just get a little messy.

I have similar problems with reverse as well. Sometimes it goes in very easily and sometimes I have to release the clutch then push it in again. But my friend has this problem on his prelude so I figured it was common for some cars.

And reverse is a different gear too, I don't know about syncros, but I know that the teeth on the gear arent slanted or something which causes that noise when you reverse.


As for the clutch fluid, I have no idea have to change that. I would like tho since I have changed all my other fluids recently except that one. And I'm definitely gonna try to adjust my clutch too, I just have to take a look at it to figure it out...

I know this is an old post but I thought I'd give an update....

I did find the drain plug, but it wasn't really all that much lower than the fill plug? It was fairly larger than the fill plug, so I'm fairly certain I had the correct one.

I recently had a strut and flexpipe fixed by my mechanic and when picking the Tib up i got a "ya know the clutch i going bad right?" I guess he tried to adjust it for me but it being a hydraulic unit he couldn't do much. It still works, but I need to get a new kit for him to throw in for me.
