Transmission fluid change

[mr_g]

Can someone please tell me where all the bolts are for changing the transmission fluid? The only one I know is the rear differential where it uses a 1/2 inch rachet. I just need to know exactly where the center and front differential bolts are. Also are you guys using some 80w-90 gl-5 fluid? Any help would be appreciated thanks.

If you have a manual transmission, the center diff shares fluid. Should be one bolt on the tranny.

Autos don't share fluid, so one bolt in between the oil pan and transmission for the center diff, and then one bolt closer to the driver's side on the tranny.

I have an auto so don't know what the best fluid for a manual is, but I used 75W-90 synthetic in my center diff.

Ok that helps alot, thanks man. Yea I have a manual transmission, I didnt know that the center and front shared the same fluid. Also would the "filler plug" be the dipstick that is on the transmission? It sits like half way in the engine bay, was kind of hard for me to spot at first but I just want to confirm if thats how you fill it up. Can you confirm that my center and front share the same fluids, do you have any links or pictures that I can see where these bolts are located? Also just curious where would all the filler plugs be located on an automatic transmission, right next to drain plug or dipstick? Sorry if I am asking any stupid questions, as you can see I dont know much about my car.

if you're talking about the dip stick that is near the very back of the engine bay, beneath the intake arm and on the passenger side (it's a really short stick with a yellow top), then yes that's the fill spot for the transmission/front differential on the 5 speeds. the drain plug is a 21mm 6 point head if i remember correctly (been a while since i changed the fluid on my 5 speed car).
