I used to have a 2007 Fit, and I changed the transmission fluid on it once. I think 2009 was the same body style. The plug was on the bottom right or left of the transmission, I believe.

Transmission fluid is some stinky, messy stuff. Seems like the old fluid was hard to get rid of, too; I think a local garage took mine after searching around for a while. This was actually the first and last time I ever tried it myself.

I’m getting too old to mess with anything involving car fluids. Aside from gas, of course. 🙂
