Question:
I have a 5 speed shift-stick 1996 honda accord. I think my gearbox fluid leaked out. When the car is cold, I cannot shift the stick. When the engine warms up, everything goes back to normal.
Also, the clutch is very short, i.e. only when I press the clutch pedal way down, can I shift the gears.
Thanks!

Fluid leaks on the MT Honda are generally from the axle seals and are easy for a shop to replace(axle removal required)There is a fluid drain plug on the MT and you should catch the fluid in a clean container and examine it for metal contamination. The trans is filled with a set amount of fluid (both are specified in the owners manual) from the dipstick port on the trans mission(don't mix up your oil dipstick!!) The trans dipstick is really small and not all that clearly marked.

The clutch thing is either a bad clutch or the hydraulic actuating system and should be checked by a shop. Hondas must have a flywheel shim installed if more than .015 of an incg was machined off the flywheel during clutch change otherwise the hydraulic system will not work properly and the new clutch will be ruined very quickly/

Take it in and get it checked out. It sounds like it is quickly becomeing unuseable and severe damage may be occuring if your fluid is really low!

Look on the bottom of the gearbox for the drain plug, drain it, then fill with the proper oil. For the clutch you can try to adjust it, good luck.
First you take gasoline pour it all over the Honda Accord,then you light a match and run to the nearest ford dealer and buy yourself a REAL AUTO,that is the best way to change the gearbox fluid in a Honda Accord

use drain plugUnless you have the equipment have it done. They will put it on lift to get under car the safe way. They will also look for leaks, as it may be the Clutch Cylinder leaking causing your problems and not your Gear oil.
How do one know when a fuel regulator goes bad in your car.?
dose not sound like a transmission fluid problem to me, perhaps your clutch hydraulics are the problem. if you look beside the master cylinder you will find a second reservoir, clean the cap off, then remove it.do you see any fluid in it? if not, fill it about half way with DOT3 brake fluid. you may have to bleed the system. but this is at least a start. as for your question directly, proceed with caution. the information i have heard, about 1995 Honda changed fluid types in the transmission. up to 1994-1995,1030 was recommended, 1040 if you did a lot of freeway driving. 1996- something new, and i have been told it is only available at the dealer, but shop around.
the check fill plug is a 17mm plug on the passenger side if the gear box pretty much right behind the axle, the drain plug is a 3/8 recessed. a 3/8 ratchet does just fine, but before you go that far, make sure that a) fluid level is low. if you remove the check plug, with the engine warm and off, you should see fluid just trickle out. b) if you are going to do a fluid change, make sure that you have the proper fluid. but i go back to what i was saying before, i believe that you have a clutch related issue.
