If you look at the tranny, right in the middle toward the front, there is a metal tube about 1" tall and 1/4" dia sticking up. Is this some sort of vent tube or is it for a dip stick? Not sure if I should leave it open...
thanks

Looks like a breather pipe to me? Dont think it gets connected to anything!

Yeah, its just a vent tube. If your input shaft seal goes bad you'll leak fluid out of it.

I feel like such a noob... I was looking and I didn't see where to put the fluid in the tranny, only a drain plug. This is my first manual civic

There is a 17mm bolt just a few inches above the drain plug that you feed fluid in through. Once it starts leaking out your done.
