I had my transmission fluid changed about two weeks ago. Before it had it done, I kept finding my trans fill plug popped out. For a little while after fluid was changed, I would check for some days to see if it has popped out and it didn't. After a little bit I quit checking on it, as I thought maybe the old fluid was creating too much pressure and popping it out, and the new fluid didn't create as much pressure and was fine. Today I decided to check it again, and behold it was popped out again.
When I had the trans serviced, I asked them to look at the pressure cap because of research seems to be the cause of the fill plug coming out. The CS rep at the Honda dealer, when I asked about the pressure cap, said it was fine. Is there something else I can do to keep the fill cap from coming out? I want to minimize the junk that gets in the trans.
Also the possibly it is the actual fill plug that is wearing out? I couldn't find it on rockauto or other retail chains that may have a replacement for it.

so here is to hoping it fits better
