Buy you the manual, go to www.helminc.com or you can find used ones on eBay.
It's very simple to do, but you need to know exactly how to do it and the
right amount of fluid you need. Buy 3 qt of ATF at your local Honda dealer
or online (hparts.com).
I'd recommend doing it 2 or 3 times in a period of a week or so each time
(this is to mix the old fluid with the new one). I think if you drain the
fluid, only 40% or so will come out (or maybe 60%?, I am not sure) so it
takes several rounds to change it all. You need ramps or jackstands. Have a
piece of cardboard to redirect the fluid to the pan, since once you remove
the plug it will splash your passenger tire.
