Where do I put my new Tranny Fluid in on my T-5, im used to automatics this whole manual tranny thing is new to me? I am going to drain the old stuff when I put the car up on blocks but how do I fill it back up.

 

Take off the shifter from inside the car and pour the fluid in (slowly!) thru the top. Check the level at the upper plug, should JUST reach the bottom of the plug hole. Do this with the car level. Check the manual for the right amount (I think mine took @ 3.5 quarts)

There's a drain plug and a fill plug on the passenger side. I forget if they're labeled as such but they're just large bolts that a half-inch ratchet (without a socket) fits into. You fill it up till the fluid is to the bottom of the fill hole. Since its horizontal you'll need some sort of fluid pump.

 

Use the bottom hole to drain the fluid, use the top hole to fill....keep filling until you see fluid start to come out of the top hole.

You can buy a fluid pump at any auto parts store.

BTW, make sure you use the right fluid!
