You must use genuine Honda manual transmission fluid. There is a dipstick on the top of the transmission. Pull that out and pour into the hole.

Drive it like that and you'll need a new transmission soon.

Here's a video DIY to get you started.

Fill & drain plug is on passenger side of the tranny, fill plug is a 17mm bolt and drain is the round plug that use the 3/8 ratchet. Fill plug is rite above the axle toward the rear. BTW you can just use 10/30 motor oil.

Use Honda mtf and go to like harbor freight and buy a transfer pump. Pump mtf in the tranny til it comes out the fill hole and put the bolt it. You will wan to buy new crush washers from Honda. You might as well just drain all the old mtf out and it'll take like 1.8 qts to fill it from completely empty. Definitely get new crush washers and torque the drain and fill plug to 30 ft lbs ish.
