I reached the engine and I could not find a dip stick anywhere to check the transmission fluid.I searched the engine but could not find the dip stick to check the transmission fluid

ther is no dip stick to check the tranny fluid level you have to go under the car and open the fill plug on the back of the tranny (it is the larger plug above the drain plug) then stick your little finger in if you feel oil it is full if not it needs to be changed, you can get a Chilton or Haynes manual it will expalin the whole thing

No dip stick on manual trans. Take the auto to a full service filling station and they can put it on a lift and ck.

manual transmission has two holes, one in top is to used to fill transmission fluid. one in lowest point is to drain.The checking procedure is to open the top nut and stick your finger in there to feel the level of the fluid. The proper level is the fluid right below the fill hole. To fill it, you would need to get Honda MTF fluid and small hand pump to push the fluid up there. The fluid is very thick so do it slowly otherwise the fluid would start flowing out of the hole and you would end up with big clean up job.
