unscrew the drain plug on the bottom of the tranny, let it all run out, replace the drain plug, and pull out your reverse light switch and then you'll have to put a piece of plastic tube over the tip of the trans. fluid bottle, and the other end in the trans, then just fill it up to the opening for the rev. light switch. screw it back in and youre good to go. If im wrong then someone correct me, its been a while since ive had to do it, and i might have forgotten something. Just be careful when you unscrew anything, cause i wasnt thinking when i did it and caught a face full of transmission fluid, and it smells like crap

its on the bottom of the trans. and has two wires coming out of it. there might be a different bolt higher on the transmission that you could take out instead, but thats how i did it, just because i had to change the switch. :shrug:
