08 Manual Transmission Fluid change

Hi,
Can someone show me where is the fill hole for a 2008 Honda Fit manual transmission fluid?

Thx!

Buff, with all due respect for your greater wisdom and knowledge, are you sure it isn't #14 on that diagram?

I'll add just in case the OP isn't a regular at transmission fluid changes...

Remove the fill plug before removing the drain just to make sure it comes out OK. Don't want to drain and then not be able to fill.

Can't remember, its been a while. And the Fit isn't nearby. (Thanks for being tactful...)

Look for the aluminum crush washer under the fill bolt (both fill & drain bolts have a crush washer). If its a regular steel washer, that ain't the bolt to touch. The descriptions in the full link are not helpful...

(I never had difficulty finding either.)
