manual trans dont require the fluid changes like an automatic does, just remove the drain plug and fill the new fluid in the fill plug, just have fun getting the fluid in the hole. takes 4qts, just fill it until new fluid comes out the fill hole

My 95 TA's dipstick would always come loose and stick out of its tubing.

There is an easy way to fill. Get a trans fluid funnel and clear tubing that will fit snug on the end. Run the tubing through the engine bay into the fill hole. Now you can fill from the top. Put a drain pan under the fill hole to catch any overflow. Also when you are done filling, put the end of the tubing into the drain pan and allow it to empty before pulling it back through the engine bay.
