Um jack the car up remove the drain plug then fill though the fill plug till it starts coming out. You'll need 4 qts of ATF

or cheap dex III

I've tried synchromesh, and a few different brand dex III's, seems like it likes the cheaper stuff better

Go though the shifter to fill. So much easier. Take off your boot and the 4 bolts holding the shifter plate on. Good to go!
