I been researching on several websites and it has come to my attention that the filler bolt is located behind the cv boot and nearby the drain plug...My question is that...is there more than 1 filler bolt? Because just last night I filled my tranny fluid from the top of the tranny..Any opinions on this?

 

i'm guessing you filled through the VSS hole?

I would stick with the filler plug only because you'll know exactly when you've filled the tranny properly (when fluid begins to drain from the filler hole).

So i may have to repeat this process then....Don't they sell tubs at stores such as Napa and schucks?

 

It is very common to fill transmission fluid from the VSS hole. TPB states that you may get an inaccurate level of fluid. However, what you do:

1) Remove Side Filler bolt
2) Fill from VSS hole
3) When fluid spills out of side filler bolt hole, you know you have reached suggested limit. Tighten bolt and you are good to go.

When you mention the VSS hole..I don't see any types of sensors .....

 

VSS = Vehicle speed sensor

Look at the top of the transmission from the passenger side of the engine bay. Underneath your air filter pipe? See it now? Its a pain to disconnect it but you can. There is also a 10mm bolt that holes the VSS into the transmission. Remove that and you are good to go.
