do you know where the drain plug and fill plug are? they take about 2.5-3 bottles of redline atf when dry. you fill it up to the bottom of the fill plug.(it look's just like a plug on an intake)drain plugs underneath the fill plug. oh and it's on the pasenger side if i remember right! [patriot]

I use ATF Universal Automatic Tranny fluid in my 5 speed. Just topped it off yesterday :-) And yup the drain and fill plug are on the passenger side.

Pull the car up on ramps, then jack the rear up to level the car. I used a $5 fluid pump I got at the parts store and just pump the fluid strait from the bottle until it starts to drip out of the fill hole. Then you know its full. Be sure not to over-tighten the pulug or you can fuck up the fill hole on the housing. [patriot]
