I personally used Honda ATF.

clutch is taking a dump on me so some of my shifting frustrations might be clutch

Dexron III. It says 4.6 quarts, but it will take about 4.

how would I fill the transmission with fluid with tranny in the car. Its kind of hard to get to the fill plug. I heard a friend of mine said you can fill the tranny through the gear shift.

Get a suction gun.

Shifter has always worked fine for me. I was using GM synchromesh, but gonna look around. My trans took a dump on a road course recently so I'm going to research and see what is working best for those guys to be sure it wasn't fluid related. My fluid was even fresh when this happened (less than 10k on it)

how do I know when the transmission is full if i'm filling it through the gear shift.

Grifter

iTrader: (12)

Remove the fill plug and keep an eye on it. Once the fluid starts to come out steady it's full. The same way you would do it if you were filling it through the fill plug.
