    does this help? I would 100% suggest picking up a service manual. I have the 89 (even though I've never had an 89) and grabbed this from the auto RT section...

    does help a bit, but i still dont see where the fill plug is anywhere in that diagram,

  • to add fluid on the automatic transmissions, you add it through the dipstick hole.

    is that true? can anyone confirm??
  • I would think there if there was any other place to add the fluid, it would be noted on that page. While it's not exactly clear, the fact there are no other given options would leave most people to believe it should be filled via the dipstick hole. It's how it was in my automatic prelude I had.

    Looking good. I also have a 89 rt auto. Done a little bit here and there on it. Welcome to help you out if any questions. just message me.

    Glad you decided not to slam it. I dropped mine a bit for a while, I Also had a lowered Si. I got tired of the wagon scraping. I enjoy the versatility of the stock height AWD. Therefore I raised mine back up. Never looked back. Don't get me wrong guys, I love the lowered wagons and if I had a 2WD I'd be all over it.

    Great progress. I think you will be happy with keeping it usable (stock height or taller)
  • oh yea, im very glad i kept it stock height, took her out to a lake earlier and found a dirt path,
    wow, i had so much fun, its funny because i had a choice between a steep pebbled abused
    broken hill to climb or drive around it, i went straight up it and these dudes in there trucks
    were probably thinking, "man we're gonna have to pull him" lol

    at the lake

  • Those fishing pics remind me of the commercial for the wagon. :p
  • Ok noticed my front tires are a bit worn so I tookem off and I believe I have positive camber
    Also previous owner said there's an integra axle for the passenger side would that be my problem?

    Glad to see this wagon used for its intended purpose - outdoor adventures!

    the integra axle wouldn't cause it, they work in these cars as well :) Unless it's not the correct integra axle
