Transmission Fluid Manual Transmission CHECK BOLT FILLER BOLT WASHER Check the fluid level with the transmission at normal operating temperature and the vehicle sitting on level ground. To check the transmission fluid level, remove the mounting bolt and the under cover holding clips, then pull out the driver's side under cover carefully. Remove the check bolt and look for transmission fluid coming out of the bolt hole. If a small amount of fluid drips out of the bolt hole, reinstall the check bolt. If no fluid comes out, remove the filler bolt. Slowly add Acura Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF) until it starts to run out of the check bolt hole. Pour the fluid into the filler hole slowly and carefully so you do not spill any. Clean up any spills immediately; it could damage components in the engine compartment. Let the fluid run out until it stops, then reinstall the check bolt and the filler bolt. Maintenance CONTINUED 517 2011 TL
