ATF change - drain plug????
I've decided to change the ATF in my 2.5TL. Sounds like the biggest help with my transmission acting up. But I need help. Does anyone have a picture of the 2.5TL's ATF drain plug??? I have no idea... Thanks for your help!!!

look under the trans at the rear of it for a thing with ATF marked on it
Its not the way to fix trans problems!!
better to find the external selenoids and clean them to improve shifting

sorry Im gen2 and can only guess for you
there is talk of external selenoids that can be cleaned of crud and reinstalled to fix some shifting problems
Make sure you use Honda auto trans fluid ONLY
Look in the honda parts books (online sellers website pics) for locations or crawl under the car and start looking for anything that screws into the trans case- that would probably be it
You have not said what the trans is doing anyway!

Sorry no pics but after you jack the car up and place jackstands, slide under your car rearward of the front wheel. You will see 'ATF' clearly marked by drain bolt. Use a 3/8" socket and maybe a breaker bar - pipe - for leverage to break it loose.
While you are at it ya might want to change the differential gear oil which has drain bolt more toward the front of the car facing down and the fill plug a bit higher up facing forward. You will need a couple feet of 3/8" hose to fill and 1.05qt of 80-90 gear oil. Kind of a messy job as you know if it is filled when oil seeps out of the fill hole.
