get under the car and look at the tranny. There's a fill hole, pretty much a bolt type deal like an oil drain plug, about 1/2 way up the trans. There's your fill hole, fill it up untill the fluid just starts to come out that hole. The drain hole is the plug near the bottom of the trans.
Hope that helps

if you don't have a hose to snake into that little sideways hole... you can undo the one bolt that holds the speedo sensor in on the top if the tranny and stick a funnel in there... I think the amount rec. is 2.0-2.5... somebody correct me please

On my trans there is a bolt on top I used, I did not even mess with the speedo sensor.

On my ZC one all you had to do was take off the starter and under it is a fill hole (with bolt of course).

what bolt did you undo? I know the reverse light sensor is on the top of the tranny for zc and d-series, but not on the b16...

yeah so, what bolt did you remove?

lol, we probably made the same thing almost, I used a straw from one of those old squirt bottles then I used a water bottle for the funnel. Then I went to autozone and actually saw they had them for sale. Oh well

actually its like about 2 qts if you put too much it will just smoke untill the excess is burnt out i have had about 4 cars all with b series swaps and always used about 2 qts........and the place to fill it is right behind the cv joint there is a 17mm bolt undo that and make a funnel to fit in there and fill it that way.......or the speedo cable theory works too..........
