you are looking for a non-existing drain plug. only manual tranny have drain plugs.

???? so how would you ever replace the atf???

"dropping the pan" method yan boss kung walang drain plug. mas matrabaho nga lang. yung nangyari sa akin naman e naloose thread ang drain plug nung change atf ko sana kaso ayaw matanggal at ayaw humigpit. ayun nagleleak. about 1.5 liters atf ang nauubos ko in a week. im planning to drop the pan this weekend kung may oras. my question to anyone here sa forum is: nakabili ako ng threebond 1104 (max temp of application is 150 C), is this the right sealant for the aluminum tranny pan? i have also this "villamois" paper gasket (im not sure of the spelling), is it also advisable to use it aside s 3bond? or better yung silicone rtv? guys? any comments and advice?

Wow! Am I reading this right?

I must be draining my ATF from an imaginary drain plug for the past 2.5 years.

this is my thought...so where is the atf drain plug? i ve seen a square-notch nut about the size of the 1/2 hatchet wrench drive handle on the side (not under) of the transmission (passenger wheel side), i wonder if that's the one...

That's the one. I was at Honda SPA yesterday and mechanics there confirmed it.

The problem is finding the proper tool to use to remove it.

yes sir, you're right. i have located the drain plug and done replacing the atf myself...you can remove the plug with the handle of a 3/8" ratchet wrench (not 1/2"). my city has no removable oil pan. though there's an opening for the torque converter. thanks to all

no, tight sealed pa naman. have checked it several times wala naman trace ng leak...
