its not too bad. on the pass side of the tranny there is the fill and drain plug...drain is on bottom of course. uses a 3/8 ratchet. drain fluid into pan or whatever, replace drain, open top plug to fill and add ~2.5 qts. easy way to fill it is to go to autoparts store and find...its like a large syringe to suck out fluid. fill said 'syringe' with tranny fluid and 'inject' into fill hole. when its full it should be almost level with the fill hole (feel with pinky finger inside hole and dont get your finger stuck!). Of course do all this on level ground or with the car on stands but level.

good luck

you can run a hose up to the outside and funnel the fluid in...or the fluid transfer that ^^he was talking about. I think they hold 2.8 litres
