where is it?? sh!tlon's manual is no help what so ever.

thanks

 

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.

 

thanks man, started to drip out so my level's fine...shouldn't it be red though opposed to looking like brand new engine oil?

 

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.

 

Arg, sorry I was wrong. Matt is right aboit the gear oil.

 

my '93 escort had auto tranny fluid in it then. i've never checked or changed fluid in any other manuals. thanks

 

 

Well that's what I read somewhere. My Haynes manual I think, although I could be wrong.


Or maybe I just dreamed it.

 

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

all 3rd gens 5spds that ive seen (alot) have a fill plug on the side
