<B>Transmission Fluid:</B> The drain is under the transmission near the driver's side of the car. The fill is in the front of the engine and looks like a large square opening. In order to open that fill plug you need a 1/2" ratchet with out the socket. The transmission takes 4.5 quarts of MT-90. I have provided a picture from the shop manual to show the location of the drain bolt and fill plug. Easy way to fill the transmission is to get some plastic tubing and tape a funnel to one end. Run the tubing in between the radiator down to the fill hole with the funnel taped to the top of the tubing begin to fill the trans.
