Before draining out the old fluid make sure you can break the fill bolt on the driver's side loose. Nothing worse than having an empty transmission and no way to put fluid back in it lol. Refill with gear oil.

find fill plug, make sure you can take that off BEFORE you drain the fluid, cuz if you cant fill it then you are HOSED. fill the tranny with about 3.2ish quarts of 75W90 gear lube *can usually get at Napa or CarQuest, what ever your preference is.
as far as where the fill and drain plugs are.... idk, someone is bound to tell you later lol
good luck man

yea.. i'm aware of the fill plug thing... i made the mistake of draining the fluid in my Honda first so it created a vacuum on my fill plug.. was a pita to get out
so 3.2 qrts of 75W90 .. do they sell a synchromesh in that weight? and yea.. a little direction as to where the drain and fill plugs are..

It is a syncromesh transmission, so as long as the oil is GL-4 rated, it will work fine, I like Redline MT-90 in mine:

drain plug is right underneath the tranny..
the fill one is on the drivers side kinda on the upper left hand area no?
you can just fill it from the top, take out you shifter stick, and you can fill it from there i belive
