Generally, you'll need to crawl up under the car and find the fill plug on the trans case. Only automatics have a dipstick in the engine compartment in the case of 3rd gens.

These cars are designed for dealerships who have pumps.. You can purchase a cheap hand-activated pump for like 20 bux at your local parts store.

You'll never get the bottle to pour in that hole, without pouring all over you.

I've been able to hook a hose up to the filler bottle and squeeze the fluid in for my T56. A pump would be nice but this works for me.

I saw a little Lucas display with two stacked plastic gear mechanisms, bottom gear bathed in Lucas on one mechanism and regular oil on the other. Turn the little plastic crank and you see the Lucas stuff climbing up the gears, great adhesion compared to regular oil.

Good luck and let us know if you feel/hear/notice any difference w/ it.
