If you completely drain it, you can just fill it from the shifter hole, thats what most people do. If you want to do it the "right" way there is a plug in the drivers side on the transmission, which you have to pump it into.

that is the easiest way to do it. when we did it i had someone under the car watchin for the fluid to start commin out and when it did they just screwed the plug back in. putting it through the shifter is alot easier than tryin to pump it in if you dont have the right stuff to do it with.:matrix:

so you would just unbolt those 4 bolts and pour in some 80w90? or is there more to it?

all you have to do id take out those four bolts and a snap ring, i believe. and then pull the shifter out. after its out all you gotta do is have someone lay under the car,take out the drain plug and watch for it to come out. thats how i did it. just thought it was easier. oh yea, if you dont have any snap ring pliers there is a way around them. take some needle nose and gring off a little of each side and try to fit it in the holes of the snap ring. thats what i did to a cheap pair of needle nose. so instead of buying a tool that i might not need again for a while i just made it. but try not to lose the snap ring. good luck man, if you have any more questions just ask!
