1)jack the car up make sure it is jacked up evenly on all 4 corners.
2)Remove the splash shield.
3)Drain the fluid out of the trans.
**NOTE Their will be 2 plugs on the tranny one further up as the breather/filler(mtx trans) plug and one at the bottom of the trans as the drain plug.**
Please not their will be 2 seperate procedures for mtx and atx
4a)mannual transmission
4b)lock up the drain plug but NOT the filler plug.
4c)Find a hose with a pump to get the fluid in to the trans. Fill until fluid starts flowing out from the filler hole. Lock up the filler plug.
4e) leave the vehicle on jack stands and start vehicle. let it run until at operating temperature. When warm remove the filler screw for the transmission and see if fluid isflowing out. If not then add fluid to the trans until it starts flowing out
4f)Tighten filler plug Turn off car
4g)Reinstall lower splash shield (lube up the bolts to prevent from siezing)
4h)Take car off of jackstands and you are now good to go
