Lic Mech.Go to Honda and get the approved oil 3Litres of auto transmission oil.There is a 3/8 4 sided bolt put the 3/8 ratchet and put much force on it because they are extra tight.Also do not worry about the filter because there is a screen and to get to that screen you have to pull out the transmission,so I would not worry about the screen .How do I change the automatic transmission filter and fluid on a 1997 Honda Civic DX?

you do not change a filter, there is none. There is a drain plug that is a 3/8 square drive, just pull that plug out, and re install, then fill, it will take about 2.5-3 quarts of Honda Trans fluid depending on about how long you let it drain

There IS a filter but only accessible when you take apart the whole transmission.Just drain and fill the fluid.
