I just changed the transmission fluid in a 1995.5 Honda Passport. According to the Owners Manual the capacity of the system is 9 quarts. When I drained the fluid I found that the pan holds only holds 3 to 4 quarts. Where is the rest of the fluid and how would I change it? Please advise!
The total capacity for the transmission and torque
converter is 9 quarts. When you change the fluid you are just changing
the oil that is in the pan. By doing this you remove any debris that is
in the pan along with the reserve fluid. There is no need to drain the
trans completely like with an engine oil change. You are fine.

The purpose of the change is to cleanse the filter screen
and the debris from the pan. To replace all the fluid in the trans you
would need to have it power flushed. I would not recommend that to
anyone. It causes more problems then it solves. Many transmission
failures result from it. It is an add on service to make more money for
the shop and cost you!!

Yes it does, so you have a half clean solution circulating in the trans and torque converter.
