The fill plug is on the drivers side of the gear box and has a square 17mm head. The drain plug is on the bottom of the gear box and can be removed with a half inch breaker bar on ratchet. The gear oil should be replaced with 80w-90 or equivalent.

It mite help if you have another person watch the fill hole while you add the gear oil to the transmission from the top. You have to remove the shifter to do this. Only a couple of screws and a snap ring. I found it easier than trying to do it from underneath.
