Auto-trans fluid change

This weekend I would like to change out the fluid in my automatic transmission. I've read about the triple change procedure on this site. Does anyone have a "photo" tutorial of it. I previously changed out my rear sway bar and there were a couple photo how-to-do-it's that made the work simple. Jus wondering if there was the same for the auto-trans fluid. Thanks.

When you change the automatic tran fluid is there a seperate fill hole or do you just use a funnel through the dipstick hole. I thought I saw someone posted pics of how to change the tran fluid but now I can not find them?
Thanks for any input

Some honda/acuras have a 17mm bolt on top of the trans...drain and fill about 3.5 u.s.qts, if you can't locate the 17mm bolt, you can fill it through the dipstick tube....takes longer...but it can be done...dont forget to clean teh magnet on the drain plug and replace the crush washer...

Yep...Theres a "special" funnel for ATF filling...Just has a slender tube that inserts into the dipstick hole
