Ok, i searched and i got frustrated...

Where do i change/add the transmission oil...

but alas, with a little bit of luck i found it

I hate adding transmission oil....

its such a pain because the only way i can really get at it is when it car is jacked but to truly see how much is in there the car has to be level.

I ran a tube into it from the top and I have tried using the little pumps you can buy or poke a hole in the botttom of the bottle... I've tried pretty much everything...

I wouldn't jack it up because once it starts leaking out on level ground you are done... if it's completely empty I think it takes around 2 1/4 quarts... it's been a while since I've added to mine I use royal purple 75w 90

augh it's a messy job

This may be a bit late, but the manual I have says to add the oil through the speedo cable hole. Don't know if that helps or makes it harder. I haven't tried it yet, as the tranny is still on the bench.

yeah in the manual that's not for the v6. I made that mistake once and filled the ENTIRE tranny with oil...

holy smokes I just realized I don't know what motor reegler has... I hope he has a v6 because that's what I gave advice for

OMG i was about to post to ask how to do this cuz im havin the same problem. Wher did you end up having to put it? I got a 92 4cyl and i cant find the danm speedo cable. Theirs no level plug on the side of the trans and im pretty sure i got a f series tranny cuz i got the cheapass model. Any help? thanks

nvm i found it just had to open my eyes a little...
