ok real quick, I just need to know where the fill plug is for me 5spd.
I have a leak and I have to add fluid before i leave work. It is a 95. Also how do I determine the proper fill level? Please don't flame me with "search" demands, I am in a hurry and searching takes forever on this dialup connection, not to mention I am going back outside to look again.

what's a fill plug?

do you mean transmission fill? If so, you place tranny fluid where the tranny dipstick is...

do you mean oil fill? If so, it's the big circular cap in the front
of the engine, right near the "Nissan 3000 V6" plate.

The fill plug is on the front side of the tranny facing the radiator. It's actually a recessed screw w/ no head. It has a big 1/2" square indention in it that accepts a 1/2" ratchet w/ no socket on it. Just use the big 1/2" ratchet wrench, insert it into the screw and give it all you got. It may help to warm the car up first. Fluid is checked by putting your finger into the fill hole. You should be able to feel the fluid inside just below the fill hole. Also, some fluid may come out - indicating that the level is okay. Good luck and get to work!!!
