Ok Ive run into some problems. I looked at everyones responses and thought i had a good idea what to do. I went to look in the manual to locate the speedo cable where i would fill the fluid and nothing is there. Also Im assuming that the giant bolt on the bottom of the trans is what im supposed to take out and drain from? and from what I can see, there is nothing on the side to fill from, unless im missing it? Anyone care to give me some tips? Thanks Alot!

The fill plug is on the front of the tranny, close to the drivers side end. Right before the 5th gear end cover. This page of the manual shows it clearly wiu a little arrow.

ok after a home made funnel and a little time, i was finally done. Put the speedo gear back on and drove her a little. Seems to be much better going from 1st to 2nd now but 3rd to 4th is worse. All in all i would rate the shifting worse now than it was but not by much, just expected better. Ive only been about 15 miles on the new fluid so maybe i have to give it time? Anyway, I will post back and leave a conclusion on how everything turns out in the next few days. Thanks everyone for all the help and guidance.
