Question Transmission fluid change question, and some more!

I need to replace my transmission fluid in my '96 2.5!

I did a search and found that I will need about 4 qt of Honda ATF and a new washer. However, I wasn't certain where exactly the drain plug is!!! I got confused when some said that differential flud plug is near the transmission plug. Which is which???

Also, what kind of a differential fluid do I need??? How much do I need??? I want to replace that too, since I'm in that vicinity.

Does anyone have any write-ups about changing these??

BTW, how do you guys change the oil filter. It just seems to be a bit burried under the intake!!

Thanks

yeah the oil filter is a biotch to take off. i tried once and got it off after fondling with it for about an 45 min. i was like, "fack this, im bringing this car in a shop for all my oil changes"

id do the same for the tranny flush.

It's really a pain in tha ass but better to do it urself than pay 80 bucks. Also, dont forget that if ur gonna do it urself, u need to buy some ramps for your tires. All the info u need to kno about the fluids and stuff is in your manual in the back, fyi.
