Transmission problem
1991 Honda Accord Front Wheel Drive Manual

I have a 1991 Honda Accord, manual (and that's about all I know about it). I'm trying to check the transmission fluid but can't find the dip stick. I've already read a number of descriptions about where to find it, but still haven't had any luck.

Can someone please help me by posting a picture of the engine with an arrow to dip stick? Or at very least give me another description of where the dip stick should be. After spending 45 minutes looking I have accepted that the dip stick might just be missing. I bought this car used to learn to drive manual and I didn't think to check for this before I bought it.

Hi there,

The manual trans does not use a dip stick, there is a filler plug on the side face of the transmission, you check it there, with the plug removed the oil should be no more than a few mm below the plug level, i will see if i can find a pic for you.
