There's a drain hole and a fill hole, kind of like changing your oil. Just use Honda specific ATF. I don't know howmuch you need to use (at least 2 quarts probably). However, if you have a leak, changing the transmission fluid won't help it. Automatics are best left to the professionals, take it to a shop. Better do it quick, because these problems only get a lot worse if you ignore them.

Thanks for the Info.....

Also, when I had bought the car, I was doing my oil change and found that my headers are damaged in the bottom. I guess the person that had it before had the car too low and hit the speed bump. I think thats whats causing my car to sound so weird that I cant even explain that sound. (the sound only comes when I press the acceleration in 1st gear to 2nd).
Is that why its lagging between 30 n 40 mph?

THnks....Sizzle.

Damaged? As in a hole or a dent? I guess that would cause some loss of power. If it's before the oxygen sensor, then it might be confusing the ECU.

the headers are pinched......... not all the way though.

Can you take a pic of the "pinch". I know it is a common thing to have dented headers and as far as I know the dents really don't make much of a difference.
