Look on the front{facing the front of the car} tranny, about in the middle of the casing of the trans. you will see a large plug with a 1/2 inch rachet fitting in the middle of it, thats it...........Hope that helps you.

NO thats the drain hole!!11 Atleast on autos it is.

Pull out the speed sensor and pour in there. Use the speed sensor as a dipstick, it should go halfway up the gear.

no, it's the right plug, the drain is on the other side.

most automatic trans fluids are red. most manuals use a petroleum colored gear oil.

well your kinda right the 2nd gen 5spds had no fill plug on the side you have to fill them through the speed sensor
