Its the round threaded plug with a recessed square head. Its under the front trans mount facing the front of the car. Locate the starter and it should be to the right of that (the direction of the driver side wheel). You will need a 1/2" ratchet to break it loose.

(man you seem to be on most of the time when I respond) lol Its under that trans mount. Its easily seen from under the car than through the engine bay. Just remove the splash guards at the bottom (if you still have any).

Pay attention to my sig. You see where that red part of the positive batt terminal is? Straight down from there but better seen from the bottom.

You should find it so you can check you fluid levels. You don't want to put too little in!

where did you get your clutch kit at? Is it Used? If you put it in right, it shouldn't make noise. Did you DIY?
Here is my new one next to the old one.

My lovely Max had been down for over two years, the clutch went out, left it parked in front of the house the whole time. Brought a used Fidanza flywheel from "Cliff Clavin" and a clutch kit, finally start messing with it two weeks ago, took out the tranny and found out the TOB broke, replace the clutch and replace some steering parts, got an alignment, have new tires to put on next week, will start driving it again really soon.
The one thing that i notice after the first time driving it in two years....the steering is really really light.....has it always been this light????
