Will my overfilled transmission damage my Honda?
We overfilled the transmission fluid about one 1/4 quart of honda synthetic transmission fluid with a little tiny bit of Lucas stop leak. The guy at the auto shop said it was overfilled 1/4 quart of fluid. It's about a centimeter over the top fill line.
Will this damage the car? Is it ok to drive? Is there any way to get a vacula tube or some pump and pull it out. Is there a drain plug on the bottom?

Yes, a centimeter over the top level of the dipstick is way over the line.
You can use a small tubing and insert it via dipstick hole and use a vacuum pump.
Make sure that engine is not hot or it may melt the tubing that you are using, unless tubes are silicone type that can handle some heat. This is the more convenient way to take out only a small amount.
Yes there's a drain bolt/plug on the bottom, but it is harder to gauge how much you have drained.
Overfilling means extra pressure on seals. Best to ask the guy at the auto shop to drain it to correct level.
- Which fuel injector cleaner will be SAFE(without causing damage) to use on my Honda? I have a 2003 Honda Element and I'm going to buy a fuel additive. However, I deciding three types that I don't know which to choose from. It's either going to be from Lucas, royal purple or Techron.

- Transmission going out on friend's 2004 Impala. Is it possible to install a manual transmission taken from a 1992 Honda Civic in this car? Not worth replacing trans on a car this old, but the engine and everything else are still perfect. My friend was able to get a free manual trans from a 1992 Honda Civic. But i'm not sure whether or not you can use a trans from a different vehicle
