Re: type r transmission 5th gear pop off?
ok, so tell me this, without the use of a lift, how the fuck are you going to "check" the fill bolt without pissing fluid out of the tranny? it would also take the same amount of time to use your method as it would to drain and re-fill the trans. popping out of 5th gear is a tale-tale sign of low/no fluid in your trans.
1) Find a level section of solid ground that will fit your whole car (ie garage, driveway, etc)
2) Place jack under the front middle jacking point of car
3) Raise car with jack until you can fit 2 jack stands under the front driver and pass side jacking points
4) Place jack under the rear middle jacking point of car
5) Raise car with jack until you can fit 2 jack stands under the rear driver and pass side jacking points
Also if its pissing fluid from the fill hole when the car is level then the trans was over filled anyway. If its just dripping then there is no need to remove or add any fluid.

umm.... its real easy. Do you even work on your own car?.

Also after jacking up the frontend how long does it take to jack up the rear end? If it takes you more than 5 minutes then you are doing it wrong.

NO, ONLY ONE OF US CAN BE RIGHT!
all arguments aside, if its popping out of 5th, there is very little or no fluid of any kind in there. "checking" would be a waste of time since youre gonna need to add fluid anyhow. just go grab 3 bottles of mtf from honda/acura (only use 2 and a 1/4) and change it. if you can change oil, you can change tranny fluid.

Re: type r transmission 5th gear pop off?
uhhh huh. so riddle me this. do you think someone asking why his car is popping out of gear readily has a legit jack, 4 jack stands, and real tool at his disposal? now answer this mr master tech...how long would it take to get the car level on 4 jack stands, break loose the fill bolt, and add fluid until it "dribbles out"... versus jacking up the front (or passenger side) sticking a 3/8" ratchet down there, drain it, and put the car back on the ground?
any idiot can do this procedure the easy way, but what about your way?

wrong, i stated you cant "check" <-notice the "s the fluid level on a manual transmission honda (included d,b,h,k,j). last time i checked, looking for fluid to drip out isnt checking anymore than waiting for your piss to burn your dick to "check" for the clap. night night.
I'm just stating facts
I will repeat again I have been a patron for 2 years

Actually there is a very easy way to check the fluid level. loosen the fill bolt and stick you're finger in there.
I would just change the fluid if I were you. Takes less than one hour if you have the right tools; jack, jackstand, 3/8 drive ratchet, and I think a 17mm socket(or 19mm I think).
