cool....yeh, I have seen that TSB. I did not think of trying the honda dealer though...there certainly is no Isuzu dealer here.

yes, the recessed o-ring bolt would be nice if I can find it. Stupid bolt keeps dripping and I only get small window of time to work on the car everyday...so I keep trying little bits every day but the drip won't stop yet.

So, from what I have read, If the car is on a flat surface and the temp of the fluid is proper, I should be able to open the fill bolt and keep the car running...and only a tiny bit of fluid should come out, right?

I read the tranny fill instructions...I am just checking my theory.

could I use a meat thermometer to check my fluid temp? Just a thought.
