changing 5 speed tranny fluid?

I checked the 4th gen FAQ and found this link but it won't open for me.

Does anyone else know of a location to find a thread on changing the tranny fluid on a '99 SE?

Thanks!

Saved this from a long time ago. You didn't say whether it was a MT or Auto so..... Here ya go!

The location of the 5-speed drain and fill plugs may be seen at:

The drain plug is horizontal, low on the transaxle case near the engine, and near the shifter boot. It is fairly small and looks like an ordinary bolt.

The fill plug is on the side of the transaxle housing nearest the front of the car. It is fairly large and has a square recess. The tool to remove it is an ordinary 1/2-inch ratchet wrench, with no socket fitted.

The gear lube will drain faster if you remove the fill plug and the drain plug. You may find it convenient to use a funnel and a short length of plastic tubing fitted to the funnel spout. Position the funnel in the engine compartment, near the battery. Route the plastic tubing into the fill port. Add gear lube until it begins to overflow. Nissan recommends API GL-4 SAE 80W-90 gear lube. The capacity of the 5-speed is 4.5 - 4.8 liters. Do not use API GL-5 gear lube.

Ooops, you did say a 5 spd. Guess that info should help. Sorry, this is a bit late but I don't get back here to often these days. Cheers

Wish I could get my signature to show up
