Wheel spins when car is in neutral

take a look here you do not state front or rear. This is best done by a mexhanic I think
Good Luck

Your car should be running, in Neutral, with the wheels chocked and your parking brake on (safety first). Then simply pull out the stick with the vehicle running in neutral to check the fluid level. Any amount in the hatched area is acceptable. DO NOT overfill and only fill as needed. Make sure the engine is up to normal operating temperature before checking the level

Hi there,

All Honda manual transaxles use the Honda Manual Transmission Fluid (MTF) as the original factory fill. This oil is similar to a 10W-30 or 10W-40 viscosity engine oil, and this oil can be substituted temporarily. However, the manufacturer recommends the use of their MTF when changing the fluid.

Level Check

The transaxle fluid should be changed every 90,000 miles (144,000 km) or 6 years under normal driving conditions. In severe driving conditions the fluid should be changed every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or every 2 years, whichever occurs first.
Make sure the vehicle is on a level surface. If the vehicle is raised, make sure the vehicle is safely supported and level

NOTE: Do not confuse the drain plug with the fill plug.
The fill plug is in the mid section of the transaxle. The drain plug is near the bottom of the transaxle.

1. The oil level is checked by removing the oil fill plug on the side of the transaxle. The transaxle fluid should just meet the lower threads of the transaxle fill hole.
2. Remove the oil level check bolt from the side of the transaxle. If oil runs out, or if oil can be felt near the threaded fill hole opening, reinstall and retighten the bolt to 33 ft. lbs. (45 Nm).
3. If the level needs to be topped off, pour oil in slowly until it begins to run out then, install and tighten the filler bolt to 33 ft. lbs. (45 Nm).

Cheers,

1997 Honda Civic is a front wheel drive vehicle, no fluids in the rear.

Have tranny serviced . Check tranny fluid level fill with HONDA ONLY fluid. If not fixed have fluid drained and filter replaced on tranny

Drive the vehicle long enough for the transmission to reach normal operating temperature.
Step 2
Park the vehicle on a flat surface.
Step 3
Let the engine idle with the transmission in park.
Step 4
Locate the automatic transmission dipstick. It will be in the front of the engine compartment attached to the transaxle assembly.
Step 5
Remove the dipstick and read the fluid level it should be between the MIN and MAX mark.
Step 6
Add automatic transmission fluid if the level is low. Place a funnel in the dipstick tube and add as much fluid as need. Do not fill over the MAX mark.
Manual Transaxle Step 1
Park the car on a level surface and wait until the engine is cold.
Step 2
Lift the vehicle according to instructions listed in the owner's manual and support with jack stands.
Step 3
Remove the belly pan from underneath the engine/transaxle by removing the screws on the rear edge and disconnecting the hooks in the front.
Step 4
Locate the check/fill plug on the side of the transaxle.
Step 5
Clean the area around the check/fill plug.
Step 6
Remove the check/fill plug
Step 7
Use a hand pump attached to a manual transmission fluid bottle to pump fluid into the check/fill plug hole, until fluid begins to seep out of the hole.
Step 8
Reinstall the check/ fill plug.
Step 9
Reinstall the belly pan. Insert the hooks on the front edge of the belly pan into the holes on the vehicle's frame. Then reinstall the screws that support the rear edge of the belly pan.

For the V-6 model, the dipstick is located down low on the transaxle, on the drivers side of the car, if it is low, usually 1 pint of of fluid is needed to raise from low notch to high notch. also if it appears to be dark or burnt, smells burnt, you should replace the tranaxle fluid. Good Luck!

Automatic or manual? May be low transmission fluid, or (less likely) bad CV joint. Have mechanic get it up on the lift and check for leaks, then spin the tires, see if the noise will manifest itself.
