I need help trying to change this transmission fliud. Do I need a new filter? Where is the drain plug. Is there a transmission dipstick and if there isnt were do I put the fluid in at? Any other helpful hints?

 

The drain bolt is on the passenger side of the tranny and will be the lowest bolt that you find. On my car it has a square depression in it, which a 3/8" drive rachet will fit. The fill bolt is almost directly above it. It will take 2 qrts to fill it up. I pulling the intake tube and snaked a hose down to the fill bolt to make replacing the fluid easier.
Edit: When fluid starts pouring out of the fill hole you have enough fluid in the tranny.

I think on most of the H engines the dipstick will be located on the left side of the engine beneath the distributor cap.. it has a yellow handle on it!

 

Thanks....is there a filter I have to change? Is the fill hole on the side of the transmission?

 

1. No
2. Facing passenger side

 

Maby we should ask if the tranny is auto or manual. Changing the fluid is diffrent for each.

 

Manual...What else can you tell me?
