there will be plug on the passanger side, use the higher up one to fill, lower one to drain (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
you'll have to use a pump to get it in there or use a really long hose with the inlet higher than the transmission (I've never done the second method, seem like a PITA) |
